Davewilly Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Very nice! I really like the your shifter and the door panel/framework is pretty cool looking as well!
Mooneyzs Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Dang Johnny Bravo.... you are one fly ninja with skillz. ..I am totally digging the detail to the doors and deck lid. It looks awesome! keep up the awesome work and I can't wait until your next update.
noname Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 That is a cool mostly period correct car. And it is nice to see someone putting this much detail into an older style Gasser. This guy is very lucky. Not only is he getting a replica of his car but a super detailed one at that.
Mooneyzs Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Oh... Johnny Bravo.... come out come out where ever you are. I think it's time for another update for us........

gasser59 Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Johnny boy...I just knew your next update would be awesome after having the weekend to get some stuff accomplished and you didn't disappoint my friend. Stellar stuff.
Mooneyzs Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Johnny Bravo.... That is one heck of a Wicked up date Brother!! I am loving all of the scratch built goodness right there. That Radiator with the fan and overflow tank is just outstanding and looks Bad A$$!!!. Nice work man!
Davewilly Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Killer radiator details there John! You make it look so simple...couple pieces of plastic...couple wires...couple fittings...some paint...BAM Killer radiator that looks better than a lot engines I ve seen or even built myself!..Keep up the great work!
rv1963 Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 I always enjoy your build threads, so much detail, just amazing.
Dogfish_7 Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 What a treat to watch such skills at work! Can't believe the details going into this build.
GoatGuy Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 John, buddy ! The inside door detail, radiator detail, electronics, it all looks great. Can't wait to see more.
John Teresi Posted October 11, 2016 Author Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Hello.........thank you all so very much for the kind comments......I really do appreciate them......I got the engine mocked-up......I did alot of modifications and made some scratch built parts for the engine......all the detail will be added later......I also modified some headlights that I had in my parts box to resemble the headlights on the 1:1 car........thanks for looking Edited October 11, 2016 by John Teresi
Art Laski Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Nice, John! Your application of those parts you got from laskiscale.com looks fantastic! Looks like you're almost ready for some primer and color!
Mooneyzs Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 John... Awesome Work on this update. That Engine is going to be killer when you add your detailing Magic to it. I have to agree with Art here. You are so close to having this thing in primer and paint. I can't wait to see it in its Glory all painted up. It is one totally cool build. Nice work on everything so far.
Metalmad Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 John when you build you make it look soooo easy !
rv1963 Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Great engine details, I always look forward to your updates.
