John Teresi Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Hello.......I was requested to post my 1/16 scale "Snoopy" Jaguar F/C........I posted my 1/24 scale "Snoopy" Jaguar F/C awhile back.....this one is different........I used two 1/20 scale Entex Jaguar kits......I added about 1 inch to the body and modified it to resemble the F/C........scratch built frame and tins.......I cheated with the engine and rear wheels.......they are from the GMP diecast line........they looked ok for the the 1/20 scale body I was using........I used 1/16 scale drag pipes but, I shortened them a little.........I did re-plumb it and used part box parts...........I used pink fingernail polish paint......and airbrushed lace pattern with H.O.K.kandy purple and black.......I designed and made the Snoopy and dog house decal......and used rub on letters for the lettering.......the word "Snoopy" was designed by me and custom made gold foil By "Whoopiekat" decals.......after applying the decal .......I aibrushed H.O.K. Kandy red around the border of the word Snoopy.......thank`s for looking. Edited December 25, 2013 by John Teresi
Mike Kucaba Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Man! You really hacked up a RARE kit.... Looks great!!!!!!! (Due to cutbacks and energy concerns,the Light At The End Of The Tunnel,will be turned off.)
W-409 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 This looks very good, but funny also! Jaguar body on Funny Car... Looks awesome, great paintjob, decals are nicely and that engine detailing is so great!!! Amazing job on this, your builds are always looking so great. This is just nice, keep up the good work!!!
Railfreak78 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Now thats something you don't see everyday! Nice John. Interesting subject matter. Just don't let my wife see it as she is a huge Peanuts fan
Terminator-Fox Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 I recently stumbled upon the 1/24 scale resin kit on speed city resins site and fell in love. It's on my wish list. This model looks unbelievable John Fantastic work.

rv1963 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Outstanding work john. The paint is just to cool, who doesn't think snoopy is cool.
Custom Hearse Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 That is awesome John! I remember seeing the real car racing at OCIR when I was a kid. You did an excellent job!
Dragfreak Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 beautiful model and beautiful photography!
John Teresi Posted December 24, 2013 Author Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Thank you all so much for bringing back this old dinosaur ……..this build is a 1/20 scale version……..I also built a 1/24 scale version…….before SpeedCity Resin came out with it`s resin body version………I think my 1/24 scale version is a little more true to the 1:1 car…….pictures below are of the 1/24 scale version…….I do have pictures of the body off…….but,I need to find them……I built this about 4 years ago……..since then ,I have purchased a Speed City Resin body and I will build this car again……with much more detail……....thanks again for the kind comments.
