This has got to be interesting.

[cobraman]

Oh boy !!  What a cool project. Gotta love those 4 big tires out back.

[Mooneyzs]

John.... This is going to be an Awesome Build for sure and I love it!! It totally has your name on it when it come to styles like this. You are going to crush it out of part on this one for sure. I know you will lay a beautiful candy job down on this one!!

 

 

[Mooneyzs]

Alright John.... you need to quit holding out in us.... I have The Big Twin on the brain....just saying......

I`m waiting for my donor kits my Little "Grasshopper"

Finding a couple of big scale Shovels should be a piece of cake. The rest? That's on you Johnny boy. Make us proud.

[LDO]

What scale is it? If you need any parts from an old Tamiya 1/6 Harley, let me know. I have one that is partially assembled.

[Nytrozilla]

This is gonna' be even more "off the hookier" than all of your other off the hook bikes.

Looks like the real engines were painted Alclad. How convenient.

The interior looks simple enough to scratch out, but if you aren't doing a replica, you could have fun with that.

You know, center console, telephone, fire extinguisher, microwave cappuccino machine,The Teresi Touch.

I'll be patiently waiting for the first progress pics. I should check back in, what? Say, about an hour?

Hi Lee.....thanks buddy.......this will be a 1/8 scale build........I think I will be ok with parts.........thanks again

I visit rarely here in this All The Rest section, but I'm really glad that I saw this one! That 1:1 looks really wild and I think it has John Teresi written all over it...I'm sure you're the best guy to replicate this one in scale.

I can't wait to see how it turns out.

[Scott Colmer]

Great subject matter. I'm sure you are going to KILL this one. I'll be watching.

[cam.chris]

The Big Twin was at SEMA this year...

[Metalmad]

John this will be a Insane build my friend which you are the only one that I know of who would be talented enough to build this insane bike and do it justice.

Thanks Seth......I have a few of the parts ready to Rock N` Roll........but,I need the donor kits that have the engines that I need......I should have them by Wed.......I can`t wait to start building this Trike.......I was around 12 or 13 years old when I first saw this bike.

[Danno]

This bike is just nutz.   Can't wait to see the build . . .

[John Teresi]

Hello......thank you all for the interest in this build......I finally got my 2 Donor kits yesterday 1/8 Scale re-issue  MPC Thunder Choppers......I needed the 2 Sporster engines for this build.....but,I can always use the extra parts for something else...........I dug out some old parts box tires from the old Revell 1/8 Evil Iron......that are perfect for this build......I started a mock-up of the frame and mounted the engines.......and spaced the  rear tires and front tire.....thanks for looking

 

 

 

 

 

 

[John Teresi]

Few more WIP pics.......thanks

 

 

 

 

 

 

[cobraman]

So cool ! What a monster this will be.

[Mooneyzs]

John... Really glad to see that you got your kits and have started on it. All I gotta say is that thing is going to be huge!! Looking forward to watching you put your special touch to it. You are going to knock this one out of the park like Always.

 

 

[John Teresi]

Hello......I started on the body......I still need to add some structure to the frame and finish up the body.......thanks for looking

 

 

 

 

[John Teresi]

Few more WIP pics.......thanks

 

 

 

 

[Codi]

It would surely be fun just to sit down and watch you work for a few hours.  I wouldn't even know where to begin on a build like this one John.  Just seems to flow for you.  Great start to say the least.  cheers

[cobraman]

Coming along nicely. You should be shooting paint in a couple days ! : )
