This should be worth watching. 

[Impalow]

Oh man......    I'm tuned in for this, right up my alley... I cant wait to see this bad boy come to life.   Have fun with this one John.

[John Goschke]

Might be better to start with an AMT '65 or the often-reissued '66 T-bird, since most of the identifiable body sections come from a '65 Thunderbird.

 

[cobraman]

Oh boy ! John's starting another build !

[Roadrunner]

Quite an unusual car,... this should be interesting.

[geemoney]

WOW!

when was the 1:1 built?

[Art Laski]

Looking forward to seeing your magic on this one!

John thanks.......it did not dawn on me that AMT made a 66 Thunderbird......the 65 model kit was way to much......so I ordered a AMT 66 kit......now I need to wait another week before I start it......I probably would have modified  the 58 to look like the 65 ......but,this will be way easier......I got a hold of Eric on Facebook and he is going to guide me along with some detailed pictures.

This is going to be another wicked and wild John Teresi build. I am bucking myself into my seat and hanging on for the ride. going to be fun to watch John and his little minions do their magic on this one. It will be another show stopper.

[Codi]

Okay Mr. Teresi, now you're just showing off..........how bout' we just give you some rubber bands, popsicle sticks, soda straws, craft paper and elmers glue.  I've no doubt you'd amaze all the same.  And yes, I'll be following along like so many others.  Cheers, tim

Brother, you could make a Rolls Royce look like a VW. I'm not sweating it.

[gasser59]

So good to speak with you briefly today Johnny. Glad you steered me towards this thread. I, like Chris, are all buckled up, seat back tables are in their upright position and we're a GO for liftoff.

[Shardik]

Oh my!  This is gonna be a fun ride!

 

[Ferbz]

Oh man, this should be cool! I'll be following for sure....
