sjordan2 Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Don't you get tired of doing such easy, commonplace builds?
Alyn Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 What's the hold up here? I checked in expecting you to be preping for paint! You're slowing down, John Now I need more cookies
John Teresi Posted March 11, 2012 Author Posted March 11, 2012 Hello......I revised the photo of the donor kits I will be using.......I will be doing some major modifications and scratch building......I started on the dyno control platform at the rear of the truck......thanks for looking.
Qwit Pushin Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 John, you have to be the most prolific builder I have ever seen. While words fail to adequately express my admiration for your talent, skill and passion, I did want to thank you for unselfishly sharing your secrets with us. I learn something new from every WIP you share on this forum. I'll be following this one as well, but wanted you to know that by sharing these, you're performing a great service to all of us and I for one can't thank you enough.

John Teresi Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 Hello......thank you for the kind comments.........I started converting the Ford Aeromax into the Freightliner........please *note that this is in the early "Rough" stages.....I will work on the secound 1/2 of the cab tomorrow.......thanks for looking.
Dr. Cranky Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Already making great (and fast) progress, John. Looking real good, and it's going to be a huge build.
John Teresi Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 Hello.......I got the second half of the cab in the rough......tomorrow I work on the 3rd stage of the cab the fifth wheel.......thanks for looking.
DustyMojave Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Hey John. This looks like a great project! Your dad has quite an amazing project of his own. I remember meeting you at a model show in Victorville a few years ago. IIRC, it was your 1st competition. I was there with the offroad racer model group. Your cars were very impressive then and you haven't gone backwards since.
Dr. Cranky Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Moving along at a great clip, John. The eye candy has started to roll off your bench again. Loving it.
MikeMc Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 John, this is sure to be a wild project for sure. Is this operation really based out of Ft. Lauderdale, and if so are they planning on attending Bike Week here that cranks up this weekend? I would love to see this in person. Usually right off Main st.....Near the Boothill...on the other side......look for the smoke!
John Teresi Posted March 13, 2012 Author Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Hello......thank you for the kind comments.......I got the cab interior,chassis and wheels mocked-up......I did some work on the fifth wheel and drag strip......I will finish up the rear of the cab and drag strip tomorrow...... this is still in the rough stages......thanks for looking.

vintagedragfan Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 not waisting any time John! awesome as usual buddy!!
XJ6 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 You say that is in your rough stages.....That looks better than in my final stages.. Out Standing... Cheers...Don aka XJ6
tyrone Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 This is truly awesome..... everything you touch turns to gold......
Austin T Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 When you look at a kit does it assemble it's self?We could make model car "Most interesting man in the world" quotes for you.
1320wayne Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 John very impressive. That cab looks great, even in it's mockup stage.
Harry P. Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Semi-unrelated question... But do you display all of your built models at home? Where and how?
John Teresi Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Semi-unrelated question... But do you display all of your built models at home? Where and how? Harry......actually at this time I am living with my Mother and Brother.......I have my own room and all my possessions are stored in the garage......this is what happens when you go thru 3 marriages and kids.......but,actually its not that bad......I am just about back on my feet.....to answer your question when I am finished building a model it goes in a box and is stored away.......when I go to a model car show I will bring a few models out of storage......I have quit a few......but,a few I have made for friends or family.......this current build will go to Sturgis at my fathers Easyriders Saloon restaurant for display.....I sure wish I could display all my stuff........thanks for asking. Edited March 14, 2012 by John Teresi
Harry P. Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I sure wish I could display all my stuff........thanks for asking. I was wondering, because you build so many of them! I couldn't imagine all of them on display... you would need a castle to have enough room for that!
Danno Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 John ... words fail me ... hellaciously ambitious project to tackle. But, you are da man for a project like this. Every confidence you'll pull it off in style. Waiting to be rocked ...
