Jantrix Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Chuck......I used medical bandage tape......that I cut into strip`s......and then wrapped........thank`s Cloth tape or that patterned plastic stuff? I tried the plastic stuff, it looked great until it started to unravel.
catpack68 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 awesome work john.i'm looking foward to seeing this one finished
Mooneyzs Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 John... this build is just amazing and turning out great. I love just all of the little details that you are putting into it. It sure is nice. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see more. Oh yea I wanted to ask for your air bags did you use Viton O-rings by chance? Viton is the material type that the black are. sorry all of the years that I worked in the aerospace industry jumped out at me...lol we typically used 3 different types Black was for oils, Blue for fuel and orange for air or pneumatics. Great work John!!
Sixx Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 There's the furry guy!!!!!! Awesome stuff John!!!
Pro Tech Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 John, great work bud! headers do look cool with the wrap and weathering. Charlie Pro Tech

Dave42 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Definitely one of the coolest looking models I've seen. Too many details to pick a favorite, but a couple of my favorite parts are the ammo belt, and the way you chopped it and left that long sloping window. Look forward to seeing more of your stuff! Later,
exesivefire Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 I love everything about this build! thanks for sharing
walt francis Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 This has been one cool trip with you on this, thanks
Dr. Cranky Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 One of my all-time favorite of your builds, John. You really know how to hit the ball out of the park, amigo.
Randy D Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Love it John, Great Paint & decalwork as usual and cool details :) Randy
FASTBACK340 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Way cool build John! Your dedication & motivation to follow through should be inspirational to everyone.... How you bang-out these well engineered and built models is amazing. Takes me longer to figure out what to cook for dinner than it takes you to get 3/4's through a project! Awesome work....awesome!
John Teresi Posted October 22, 2011 Author Posted October 22, 2011 Hello.......thank you all for the kind comment`s and for following this build.........I have posted finished pictures in the "Under-glass" section.....thank`s
vaughn Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Said it before John. Your builds are truly amazing !!!!!!
Tom Setzer Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 John you have done an outstanding job on this build! I thought about copying El General when I first saw it in Rebel Rods, but I think your sedan version looks better than the original! You have done Great work on all of the detailing on your Rod, and you managed to make the decals look like the original graphics. When you realise that El General just appeared in last months magazine, it makes what you have done even more empressive! GREAT WORK! CHEERS! Tom
