I knew you'd put the Teresi Touch on the figure. I also know we'll have no problem believing it's Gary.

Luvin' the plumage.  Also digging the cockpit. It all looks so, well........real.

Hello......thank you all so very much for the kind comments.......I really do appreciate them.......I made some front shocks and painted them H.O.K. black.........I got the front end painted Alclad and attached, I took "Master Builder" Clay Kemps advise from his post to use Hyprodermic tubing for the front end.......they fit the RB Motion rod ends perfectly.......I also used a combination of Meng  and "Pro Tech" nut and bolt ends for the front end......I also attached the steering wheel... ...I got the rear wheels painted Tamiya Gold leaf and lightly weathered,I also made some valve stems for the wheels.......I used Paul Rowe resin rear slicks....... and GWS Decals made me some custom M&H Racemaster decals,I also lightly weathered the tires......I made a battery and also added some GWS Custom made decals.......I made a coil and attached that to the fire wall and added "Pro Tech" detailing wire and Spark plug wire......thanks for looking

Among all of the incredible details in this update, what strikes me most are the front tires. I know tires after 30 years in the business.

THAT is what normal tire wear looks like. Not simply sanding down the tread. Wear that thing out to give it age.

Looking good John! Some very nice detail work.

Absolute killer build.... ?

Another Teresi masterpiece. I can't even fathom the awesomeness of this build. Each one of your builds is better than the last and I would never think that's possible.

How and where do you store your completed models ? And no , I am not planning on stealing them !

Looks killer, John! Watching it come together is like I'm checking out pictures at the restoration shop. Very realistic...
