GTMust Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I'm still scratching my head to figure out how you scatchbuild so fast, so accurately and with so much detail. Pretty soon I'll need one of those hair transplant deals you see on TV! Incredible! Tony
Mooneyzs Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 John Looking great Man!! I am with Tony on the scratch building stuff... I try to figure out how you do it so fast. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing the progress.. we will see more pics tomorrow right?? have a good one.
John Teresi Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 Hello.......I got the Evo engine modified into a water cooled Shovel Head engine......I will make some push rods and mock-up the exhaust pipes tonight......thank`s for looking.
LAone Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 this is awesome. great scratchbuilding. keep up the great work john.
sjordan2 Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) In addition to your fine eye for subjects with beautiful design, I marvel at your combination of speed and patience. Like Gerald Wingrove, you put everything together to make sure it's right, then you take it apart, paint, add detail and put it together again. I guess that's what scratchbuilding requires, but I would never have the patience. Maybe I'm just a talentless hack. Edited July 7, 2011 by sjordan2
Guest JamesDE Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 OH WOW!!!!! John, this is goin to be killer!! Nice work you have done to it so far... Nice work making the body and frame...
Tony T Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Man, I'm having trouble finding the time to build one out of the box, and John is onto another build!! You are a machine, John!! Well done so far. Thank you for sharing your gift with us!
Ron a.k.a. Grouchy Pants Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 LOL... OMG... your actually making the inside of the engine/pushrods visible. You are a mad man John. Love it!
John Teresi Posted July 8, 2011 Author Posted July 8, 2011 Hello......I modified some exhaust pipes......modified a dummy gas tank.......I will work on the rear brake and make some push rods tomorrow......thank`s for looking.
Rob McKee Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 John, I really enjoy following your builds. Your ability to scratch build and detail a model is very admirable. Rob
bobthehobbyguy Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Another killer build. Are you working from plans for the chassis? Please share your secret on how you can build so fast. The chassis would take me weeks or months to complete and you do it in days? I would like to try some of your tricks for my future builds. Bobthehobbyguy

Bobthehobbyguy Bob.......not working off plans.......I just gather as much reference pictures off the web as I can.......then I just try to copy what I see......believe me it`s not perfect......I had to re-do some of the frame when I first started the build.......as far as speed of the build......I just have a cup of coffee in the morning and build what I had planed for the day......that`s if i`m not working or have choirs to do.......I always have a plan of attack the night before.......thank`s.
John Teresi Posted July 8, 2011 Author Posted July 8, 2011 Hello......I made some push-rods and some rear wheel outer rings......I am ready for fine sanding ......then I will primer everything......thank`s for looking.
bobthehobbyguy Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Thanks for the answer . . I'm curious how to you fishmouth type tubing when you build your chassis? Bobthehobbyguy
John Teresi Posted July 8, 2011 Author Posted July 8, 2011 Thanks for the answer . . I'm curious how to you fishmouth type tubing when you build your chassis? Bobthehobbyguy Bob.......I use tubbing that is hollow......that way it bends easier......thank`s.
Mooneyzs Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 John... all is can day is WOW .... That detail on the engine is amazing and looking good. Can't wait to see the body in putty and Primer. I think you are doing a fantastic job on this build. Keep up the great work.
iBorg Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Just stumbled across this build. I'm amazed by your speed. Quality is top rate! Mike
bobthehobbyguy Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Bob.......I use tubbing that is hollow......that way it bends easier......thank`s. Thanks. However my question is what do you use to fish mouth the tubing. When you join a tube to another tube you have to have to make the tubing being joined concave on the end for a good joint. Do you use a file or your dremel for doing this. Bobthehobbyguy
