As if the car wasn't spectacular enough, John, your photo skills take it over the top. This thing is dripping with "COOL" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Apart from the upside-down insignia on the left side (oops!!! ) it's spectacular. The Alclad work is mighty nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Teresi Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Apart from the upside-down insignia on the left side (oops!!! ) it's spectacular. The Alclad work is mighty nice! Oh ya,.......I forgot to mention that I have another decal on it`s way........ I`ll just apply it over the up-side down one when I get it.......thank`s for pointing that out.

Danno Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Apart from the upside-down insignia on the left side (oops!!! ) it's spectacular. The Alclad work is mighty nice! Boy, aren't you picky! That's for proper friend-or-foe identification during upside-down passes. The pile-it simply passes on right or left of the target, depending on his horizon-orientation. I thought EVERYBODY knew that! Good job, John, on deliberately and carefully designing that subtle touch into your build! It's all GD!

jimnohio Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 As I scrolled down through the pics....after the 3rd or 4th pic I realized this was the MODEL. At first, I thought the pics were of the real car you were using for reference. Amazing car! I can't add anything to what was already said. I am still staring at this build. WOW.

Custom Mike Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) HOLY ######!!!! John, I surrender to your superior talents, this is just perfect! My jaw was scraping the floor so hard I didn't even notice the upside-down decal until I read the replies. This is the single best model I have ever looked upon, you are the Master!
