cobraman Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Sooooooooooooo nice. The first thread I go to when I log on. This thing is just fantastic !
Davewilly Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Very Very cool! cant wait to see it in the UNDER GLASS catagory
FASTBACK340 Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 That's a really well thought out build John. Sure looks like it's going together nice & smooth.... And I'll chime in about looking forward to the finished piece.
W-409 Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Nice Work, John! You always manage to impress everyone with these builds. This one is looking like real Truck. Paint Job turned out extremely well. I don't know if this has been asked before, if it is, I don't remember or then I've missed it. But: Are you going to build the motorbikes too?

Austin T Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Man that bike looks like it would be a beast at the strip,Is it based off of the parts pack bikes from forever ago.

Austin......no,this is a partly scratch built and parts box replica of my fathers drag bike called the "Italiano"........that he raced at Lions drag strip in the 60`s....... thanks Edited June 16, 2012 by John Teresi
W-409 Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Oh, I remember that bike! If I remember correctly you had a topic of it somewhere, some time ago? Needs to look for it.... EDIT: Found the topic: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26183. Anyway the pictures are not from the Bike anymore. Nice job with that one too. Edited June 16, 2012 by W-409
Hedgehog Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Wow John I'm speechless. I can't believe most of this build is real. The details are incredible. Some of us might even think you only took pics of your dad's trailer and posted them. In other words Perfection.
