I'm in total awe of your work, but I bet a few members of the Jaguar owner's club will have sleepless nights if they ever see this!

Fantastic workmanship.

This is just another phenomenal build, John. You really show true artistry with your builds. Can't wait to see this finished up.

AMAZING! That can't be true. Your skills amaze me every time, but that paintjob is simply perfect. How could someone do that better? Great stuff, detailing is also very great, looks like 1:1 ProMod. That's simply amazing work, can't wait to see this one finished, it looks so amazing already. :lol: :lol:

Every time I look at this thing I think: "That is totally spectacular, but he's about done now." And then you do something even more outrageous! I couldn't believe it when you did the panelled front, and now the red! Just amazing.

Great job on the pinstriping.

How did you do the rivets on the paint job?

Thanks
