This is pure visual jewelry John. She is really beautifully built and now my favorite part - assembly.  You must be so jazzed 'cause I know I am.

Fantastic work as always! The body looks so good in paint and your detailing is just mind blowing. That hood....I mean trunk latch is something I haven't seen done before, great detail!

John... Looking Killer Brother!!! Man that really brings it all together with the body on the chassis. Its looking great!! You are in the home stretch for sure!! Keep it up.

Stunning work. There is a real moment of truth for all of us when we post these enlarged photos of our models to several times their normal size. No hiding flaws then for sure. The level of finish is incredible. The dash details alone would take me weeks of work to achieve that detail and quality. Will you be adding some chrome port holes and extended exhaust tips ? Thanks for sharing !

Man that sure is Purdy!!! Gorgeous work John. Your builds always look great. Can't wait to see it all completed and your famous outside pics from the park.

Johnny, the pictures really belie the size of this model. I know when I see it this weekend, I'm going to be amazed how small it is, yet has all the detail and custom work shown above. Classic job again!
