Cool Hand Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 Definetly enjoy watching your bike builds, cant wait to see all the scratch building and the paint application stage.
cobraman Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 Was the Kawasaki drag bike finished ? Did I miss it ?
bobthehobbyguy Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 Another cool Teresi project. Been having issues with my internet connection and as usual john has made some significant progress. If you blink you might miss one of his projects.
Rider Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Interesting project, there was a patical kit listed on evilbay recently. This is going to be fun to watch, best of luck.
Jantrix Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 I must say I'm really interested in the mechanicals. I can't wait to see how a drivetrain fits in there.
Randy D Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Love the progress on this one my friend!!!! Randy
John Teresi Posted November 21, 2016 Author Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Hello.........thank you all so very much for the kind comments......I really do appreciate them.......I got a good start on the body......just a few more modifications on the front of the body and gas tank and I need to make an oil tank......then I can sand and shape the body for primer......I finished all the body braces .......I will make the seats next......they will be re-movable so that you can see the drive chain and exhaust pipes......thanks for looking Edited November 21, 2016 by John Teresi

Nytrozilla Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 I must say I'm really interested in the mechanicals. I can't wait to see how a drivetrain fits in there. What a coincidence. I wanted a seat modification. Looks like a Win / Win Rob. Anybody else see primer in our future? It's got a sweet Alien / UFO look to it.
Mooneyzs Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 John... You are doing a killer job on this. That body is looking awesome. I see you are moving along at your typical Teresi Speed. Keep up the great work cause you are knocking it out of the park.
John Teresi Posted November 25, 2016 Author Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Hello.....Ray,Joe,Chris.....thank you so very much for the kind comments......I really do appreciate them.......I got the drive train mocked-up.....I will add all the detail later......I also made an oil tank ......the neck of the oil tank fits through the middle of the gas tank........I also made the dirve and reverse handle and a battery tray and battery and a master cylinder .........I will work on the rear axle and wheels next......thanks for looking Edited November 25, 2016 by John Teresi
Mooneyzs Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 John... That oil tank is looking great and I am loving the drive train. it is looking awesome and I can't wait to see that all detailed up. I bet you are having a blast on this one. keep up the great work.
bobthehobbyguy Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 Impressive update. Kiiler scratchbuilding. What a cool project.
John Teresi Posted November 26, 2016 Author Posted November 26, 2016 Hello......Chris,Bob.....thanks guys for the kind comments.....I really do appreciate them........I modified a rear axle and wheels from my parts box ......and made some traction bars and wheelie bars.......I will make the other two wheels next.......thanks for looking.
Belugawrx Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Wow John , I leave for like a couple hours and ,...Holy Moley!!Love watching your work come together manCheers
Nytrozilla Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 I have a new take on how this is all coming down.Tom McMullin went to the future, saw your build here and was inspired to return to the past to build the original.I can't believe he stole your design. Wow!
Mooneyzs Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 John... Looking good Brother! That start of the rear axle is looking Great! Everything is just coming together ever so nicely. Before you know it you will be painting this sucker...lol Can't wait until your next update.
Ridge Rider Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 Cool subject-your fabricating skills never disappoint.
bobthehobbyguy Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 Lots of nice fab work.I can't believe with all that rubber that it is driven by a single chain. Seems like the bike would eat up chains. Another cool build. Just don't blink John will have it done and several more projects.
