Harry P. Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 OK, John... don't hate me, but... I doubt that a car like that would ever have a "weathered" chassis like that. While it looks "realistic," the owner/team would never allow that kind of car to get to such a condition. Drag cars are constantly being stripped down, maintained, upgraded, etc. to keep them in absolute top shape. The sort of car you're building wouldn't be a backyard-built, low bucks weekend warrior, but a professionally built and maintained car, IMO. Just my 2¢... which you may not want!

You're absolutely right Harry but it adds so much to the BAAADDDDness. These cars are brutal and John's look is scorched and hot, like a sawed-off shotgun. I can smell the fuel, rubber and heat. It will make the model jump off it's surroundings. I hate him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alyn Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 You sweep the GSL and then come back with this! You're a M O N S T E R Outrageous detail; love all the color in the interior, especially the green on the tanks. and Harry's wrong on the weathering. It's really working.

Gary Davis Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Hey John....Remember the remark I made about walking around with a plastered smile on my face at the GSL? Wellllll...it's back on there my friend...you've done it again. This build is really taking shape and looking REAL good. Can't wait to see the painted body sitting on this frame. I'm not that much of a straight line guy but....you've got me really looking there with your builds.Oh yea...Susan says Hey.... She likes this build also Edited May 12, 2011 by Gary Davis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 What I usually say when I see a Teresimodel: Unfreakingbelievable! I just don't know how you do it ... and do it ... and do it ... and do it. And, yes, Harry's wrong. Not every real car stays showroom fresh or is unaffected by being driven and used. Just sayin.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm right, maybe not... But one thing we can all agree on is that John builds at a level that most of us will never even come close to.

sjordan2 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) This is a nice build obviously, but why are there 2 identical threads in two different forums showing the same posts and progress? In this case, dual posting makes sense to me, Mark. I'm sure there are other members like me, who only visit the topics they're interested in. It's certainly appropriate for the Drag Racing forum, which I never visit, and I would never have seen this if it weren't also in the On the Workbench forum.

Harry P. Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 A better way to go is to post any given WIP in just one place, either "On the Workbench" or in a topic-specific area (Drag, trucks, NASCAR, etc.). Then post the finished model "Under Glass," with a link to the original WIP for those interested in seeing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then post the finished model "Under Glass," with a link to the original WIP for those interested in seeing more. Even so, nothing beats the continuing pleasure of following a work in progress daily, regardless of your choice of forum. Viewing a build journal after the fact doesn't have that kind of interest. Otherwise, it should be in the "On the Workbench" section if only one can be chosen, since that will interest a much wider audience.

John Teresi Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hello......I finished up the wheelie bar......installed the battery..........thank`s fellas for following this "WIP"......I really enjoy sharing and being rewarded with kind comments........I would like to clarify a few things.......I consider myself as a canvas builder.......I am not very good with the technical things.......if I don`t answer a question it`s because I probably don`t have a intelligent answer.......so what I am trying to say is that....... I like to build models for myself "not" anyone else.......if I am being rude I am sorry......I just look at a picture for reference and try to get as close as possible and maybe change it up a little......I have never built a Pro Mod before.......i`m sure I have made all kind`s of mistakes.........but,when I started this "WiP"......... I mentioned that this was a make belive race car.........anyway thank`s for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
