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!  :wub: keep up the awesome work and I can't wait until your next update.

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.

Laski Scale Specialties  Thanks Art.

I also modified the radiator shell and radiator.......I made a electric fan ,and brkt. and made a electric water pump and  all the plumbing and I also made a over flow bottle ......I used "Pro Tech" detailing wire,nut and bolt ends,throttle linkage parts and a valve cover T` for the drain plug on the radiator......thanks for looking

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!

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.
