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.

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.

Oops, missed that this was 1/16th scale

Would still be closer than that...  why put work into copying the construction details when the body is so obviously wrong?

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!

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

Mr.Teresi cuts everything by hand...

he doesn't know how to spell "laser" or what a caliper is used for!

He's the Master of Plastruct/Evergreen!!

Good for you! Amazing looking build so far John!

John, I'm still picking out details. I appreciate how you captured the shape of the pyramid shaped front body/chassis posts.  Too cool on the real car and you nailed them.  cheers
