John Teresi Posted October 27, 2017 Author Posted October 27, 2017 Congrats on another masterpiece! Just incredible and thanks for the many pics you post during and after your build, it makes for so much enjoyable viewing.Christopher......thank you!!!!!.......I still have a few things to button up but,I should have this done in a few days.......it was one of my favorite drag cars as a kid ......seeing it at Lions Drag Strip in long beach........it was a very cool model to build.......thanks
Codi Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 John, I would be SOOO proud to call that one mine. It's just a beautiful build. I couldn't wait to see you put down the paint and you sure didn't disappoint. Each new build you complete becomes one of my favorites. Congratulations, tim
Dave42 Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Unbelievable is right....not really because I watched you build it, but simply amazing. I mean no offense to anyone on this site as there is talent beyond mention, but you sir, in my opinion, are one of the absolute best. Edited October 27, 2017 by Dave42
Nytrozilla Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Speechless (for a change).Yeah well, that's out the window.First I was floored when I saw the base paint. When I recovered from that, you punched me with the decals. Then I got a left hook with the pilot figure.Now you know why I donated the figure. Most outstanding models are fine on their own. This one needed to be honored by Gary's presence.I'm glad he's standing as opposed to being in the seat, hidden when the body is down.You and his daughter should be proud Bro.
gtx6970 Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Looking good.One of my all time favorite cars of the day. I would love to find a set of decals to do this car in 1.25th scale

Nytrozilla Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Stop me if you've heard this before. "That's my new favorite Southside Johnny creation!!!!!"We need to bottle whatever it is you've got Bro 'cuz that's worth zillions.I would have settled for donating a fuel cap.Amazing my friend.
Len Woodruff Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Looks like another home run John. Way to go!
Codi Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Trust me John, you keep building, we'll keep looking. Can't wait to see THAT paint out in the sun light. Congrats again John on a truly outstanding car and good luck at the shows! cheers, tim
comp1839 Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 i haven't had a lot of time lately to visit, john. boy i gotta make more time in a day. this turned out beautiful / stunning !!!!!!!!! love to watch you bring these creations to life!!
Daddyfink Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Another one out of the park! Super bitch'n build!
Davewilly Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Beautiful!I am not even sure if the REAL car ever looked that good!. Great works of art there John.
gasser59 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Truly inspiring work my friend. One of the many things I like best about your builds is nothing is molded in. Every single part on the real car has been accurately portrayed as a single piece in your replica. Great stuff. Another one of my favorites of yours, and there are many.
