Chuck Most Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I was thinking of trying something like this with a Studebaker Avanti, but scrapped the idea. Seeing this one come together is making me reconsider that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pharr7226 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Stunning work! I don't think you've used any putty, yet there are no gaps and body work is tight. I'm amazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Teresi Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hello......worked a little on the chassis today.......firewall and I modified a funny car seat to resemble a Pro Mod seat.......thank`s for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lombardo Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hey John, what is your problem???? You just can't leave a molded piece of plastic alone very long, can you? No matter what, you have to cut it, bend it, shape it, add to it, and change it! What did you never hear of "Box Stock"?? You just never seem satisfied to build something simple do you? No, it's always something unique with you, isn't? I am getting just a little tired of telling you that your work is great and very inspiring, so if it is all the same with you, could you maybe tone down your next project? You know, use only the parts from one kit. Maybe no custom decal work....maybe go easy on the paint. Come on, try something normal one of these times, ok? By the way, I am really enjoying this one....really, keep it going, (I say that like you weren't planning on doing just that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320wayne Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 John, amazing scratchbuilding throughout, as usual, and I'm sure the detailing will be second to none, but I've got to ask what all the bottles are for? Are you planning on plumbing a nitrous system into a blower motor combination or are they going to represent something else? Don't mean to jump the gun on you, I was just curious.

stump Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 AWEsomeness before my eyes. Great work so far John, and a fantastic idea to boot. Never thought of up-scaling a 1/20 to a 1/16 for this kind of deal.....#1 for thinking. Sorta opens up other ideas now, gotta go check ebay. Keep at it mate, and the chassis looks wicked kool.
