gasser59 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 My gawd...Johnny that red on the frame just sizzles. You have been busy and it really shows. Love this stage when everything starts to go together.
Mooneyzs Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Awesome work Johnny!!! This build has really come to life with color on it and your weathering magic. Those Wheels look great. Love the touch with the real wood you used for the dash. The little details really make things shine.
Codi Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 The old saying goes "the devil is in the details"................should we call you El Diablo now? Some truly nice detailing going on here, as usual ! Cheers, Tim

GoatGuy Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Great work John ! I have to look at all the details again to soak it in. Where did you get those gold colored disks? AC Moore?

Mooneyzs Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Johnny Boy.... that is one huge update... Man is this build looking Killer. You are nailing it on the details and the weathering. I am loving the work you are doing here. That red looks killer on the roll cage against the black. Loving the little switches you added to it as well as the radiator grill and the mesh for the radiator. Top Notch work my friend!! Looks like you don't have very much left to finish this one.
noname Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 This is a beautiful build as it goes for scale Gassers. You really have mastered the chrome Alclad. Boys I love those front rims. Where did you get the engine?
DrKerry Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 As always John, great eye for detail and great work my friend!!!!!! You have an eye for KOOLNESS!!!!!!!!
John Teresi Posted October 26, 2016 Author Posted October 26, 2016 Hello.......thanks guys for the kind comments......I really do appreciate them......I opened up the fenders and finished the body work and got it painted......I painted the body PPG DL50 Black Epoxy Primer then I shot Testors Dullcoat over that......I made and painted and lightly weathered the master cylinder and got it attached and made and painted Alclad the brake pedal and got that attached......everything is painted now and I will start the finish assembly......thanks for looking.
Mooneyzs Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 John.... That Paint work turned out Killer. I love how the red just Pops from the black. Looks like you are on the home stretch now. Keep up the great work. Jeff is going to be a lucky guy to own a model built by you.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 and a few more......thanks I may have missed it somewhere, but what did you usefor the radiator? that is not shimmy mesh. AWESOME model as usual sir.

John Teresi Posted October 27, 2016 Author Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Hello.......Chris,Mark......thank you for the kind comments......I really do appreciate them......I made some inside window frames and painted them Alclad and attached the glass.......got the trunk lid on......I also attached the electrical panel ......I made a dash plate and paited it Alclad and lightly weathered it......I also attached the wood dash board......I made a vinyl roof and used "Pro Tech" nut and bolt ends and lightly weathered......thanks for looking Edited October 27, 2016 by John Teresi
