gasser59 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 This is off the charts Johnny Southside. You've gone into another dimension for this one. Love everything about it and I find myself unable to speak with my jaw on the floor. Right before that happened, a few choice words escaped. You'd look good behind the wheel.
Mooneyzs Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 John.... Awesome Work Brother!!! Man does that look killer. I sure has come to life with the paint and decals.
Jantrix Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Terrific work. I never tire of seeing what madness you come up with.
Art Laski Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Rob found the right word... MADNESS!!! Looks incredible, John. Can't wait to see the multimedia show at the So Cal NNL on May 6th!

Lee Yoder Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Well Mr. T., this should definitely garner a lot of looks at the show! It should be an interesting display with the stellar work and the multi-media. Later, Lee
