GTMust Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I can't believe all this incredible detail is going to be covered up with a body! Even though I know the bodywork will be just as fantastic....
John Teresi Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 Hello.......the engine is finished.......I attached the manifold and part of the exhaust......blower and carb`s are assembled......I will finish up the exhaust pipe and make a battery box tonight ......thank`s for looking.
John Teresi Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 few more progress photo`s.......thank`s.
Peter Lombardo Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Hey John, do you think you could be a little more "detail oriented"? No...? Ok, I guess we can live with the level of detail you are putting into this build. Seriously, this is really living up to my expectations of what I expected from you. First rate all the way, Great job.....Very impressive. The only problem I see with this is that you are setting the bar so high now, very little else can approach this level going forward..................there is always one in the crowd that "skews the curve".
Agent G Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Yet again, MrsG walks up behind me and states, "No you cannot buy another vintage car." When I explained what this was, she, yet again, stated "Get the ++++ outta here". We really, really want to see this in April John. G Edited December 20, 2011 by Agent G

Amazing work!!! I saw your stuff while attending the NNL West. Your Alclad finishes are stunning! Edited December 21, 2011 by Modellpularn
Lanny Haas Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) How do you get the Alclad to look like real chrome? Maybe a step by step class on Alclading.... . Edited December 21, 2011 by Lanny Haas
