george 53 Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 WOW, John, whooda thunk all those parts could blend so nicely?!? But then, that's wat putty's for! The side profile looks all 53 Buick ish, but the rest of it just flows SOOOO smoothly it looks like it SHOULD look like that! Welp,John, This looks like ANOTHER fine build you've gotten us into! GREAT work so far!!!
Pro Tech Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 John, what a great looking custom! Look forward to seeing your paint creation for this one!! Charlie Pro Tech
Jantrix Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Holy Shnikes! I am in awe. That is some awesome work. I love the Buick side trim. Fantastic.
Raul_Perez Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 I really like the way you pulled the sides of the bumpers into the body...very cool!! I'm not yet sold on the small side windows with the full height roof...but I suspect that it'll all come together once its painted. Thanks for sharing.
whale392 Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Well Jon; interesting for sure. Personally I coudn't blend kits this well, but my astetic eye tells me it looks like the front clip has a slight upward slant as it progresses from the door/fender seem to the grill surround. Also, the side windows are sweet, but the roof above it looks WAY too tall for such a sweeping window line. However, like I said, I cannot blend kits this well, so my opinion is just that. Keep at this, I want to see what she looks like shiny!
Jim0205 Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Body work is looking good still blown away by the cocept and the blend of the two well done sir.

Romell R Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 John this thing is sweet I love the body lines, cant wait to see it in person. Keep up the OUTSTANDING work!

tuffone20 Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 John, that thing is way to cool and I can't get over how much you have gotten done in such a short time. Hope to see it next year at the DSC.......
Sixties Sam Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Cool beyond words! Looks like it was molded in one piece! Great job! Sam
Guest JamesDE Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I have been laggin behind on keepin up with alot of progress builds, but this one is just insane... You pulled the body mods off very well... You really cant even tell what kit it started life from... Great job on this one John....
Alyn Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Very creative! Reminds me of the old time customizers that chopped up cars so much you had a hard time figuring out what they started with. This one would be a tough guess for anyone that hadn't seen this thread. I've been waiting for some sort of scalloped paint job to bring in the low roof line over the door glass. Even without, she's looking good.
Scalper Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 wow you waste no time.. engine looks wow.. killer.
Raul_Perez Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Awesome detail work, as usual!! Thanks for sharing,
John Teresi Posted September 1, 2010 Author Posted September 1, 2010 Hello.......well, she is finished........I`ll post photos of this build next week in the "Under Glass" section......thank`s for following this build.........it was fun.
Romell R Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 John as I was talking to you on the phone I still hadnt seen the finished park photos.......MAN!!! I bout fell out my chair when i saw that opened hood shot! this whole car has turned out to be the BOMB! OUTSTANDING WORK!!!! keep it up my friend.
Custom Mike Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 John, first, awesome work! The engine, chassis and interior are all perfect compliments to that beautiful body. Second, what are you using for the chrome? Is it Alclad, or did you have all that stuff plated?
Tony T Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Interesting wagon...personally don't care for the rear wheel well styling, but that's just me! Chassis, motor and all is very well done. Nice work!
John Teresi Posted September 1, 2010 Author Posted September 1, 2010 John, first, awesome work! The engine, chassis and interior are all perfect compliments to that beautiful body. Second, what are you using for the chrome? Is it Alclad, or did you have all that stuff plated? Mike......the side trim is foil..........the valve covers and aircleaner and wheels are stock chrome........everything else is Alclad......thank`s
