Mooneyzs Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Holy smokes... look at you go John. The Teresi Model Factory is in business. That is some great progress and the inner structure looks awesome. Nice work my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I swear I don't know how you can build so quick and so darn good at the same time. Love your models ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Nice work. Although this car wasn't successful it was innovative. Unfortunately today there is nothing very innovative done. Nobody can afford to fail because of the mega sponsorships required to be competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sflam123 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Amazing work Mr. Teresi!! I'm old enough to remember reading the Hot Rod magazine article on this car, which, though groundbreaking, was a colossal failure. I love the detail of the monocoque! I am definitely following this to its fantastic completion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codi Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 John, the interior tins for the monocoque and body modes are fantastic. How are you cutting them? Laser cutting thingamajig or by hand? They're just too perfect...........if that's possible on your models. I'm amazed. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
