Bruno Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Outstanding, that's some incredible colorful work John! That paint is awesome
gasser59 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Another epic build brother. I loved watching this one come together. Seems like it took two weeks. I don't know how you do it even with minions.What's up next? I want to get a front row seat.
Nytrozilla Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Every build is everything we've come to expect John, and then you always top each build.I'm buckling up for the next one. Something tells me that's a good idea.
Codi Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 I swear John (not at you of course) that is so sweet. I love those latest pics showing the overhead with the canopy open. The paint is just stunning. keeps one humble when you see what others can do. You're some talent John. cheers, tim
nitro norman Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I've been involved in this hobby since the sixties and I must say that this is one of the most beautiful model cars I have ever seen. This thing should be on the cover of the magazine. This is truly a piece of art. Great work !
Greg Pugh Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 You are, without a doubt, the master of alclad and metal finishes. ...actually, you're just the master!
Mooneyzs Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Johnny Boy... You continue to amaze us with your skills. To sit there and add a 5 point harness after the build was pretty much done is amazing my friend. This thing is looking Bad A$$ my friend!!!! Nice work on the belts....
nitro norman Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Again, this is an amazing model. I have been wondering if anyone knows if this car ever looked like the MPC box art, i.e., with the blower on top of the motor, and no wheel fairings. From what I've read , this car only ran a few times and was unsuccessful. All the photos I have seen of this car have the blower in front . Maybe the MPC people thought it looked better that way. Regardless, this is a beautiful model of a beautiful dragster.

Regardless, this is a beautiful model of a beautiful dragster. Speaking of the car being unsuccessful, I've always been blown away by the angle of exhaust discharge. I'm no engineer by any stretch, but I'd think the exhaust pointing almost straight down would make the car want to lift. Looks like something Jethro Bodine would come up with. Maybe I'm just off and missing the point.....
Art Laski Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Johnny, it's looking absolutely stunning. Can't wait to see the what it looks like outside!
John Teresi Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 Hello........thank you all so very much for the kind comments and for following along with this build.......I really do appreciate it.......I have posted finished "Outside"pictures.......you can go here to see them........thanks
