Sixx Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Oh man...I just slobbered on my keyboard!!! LOL!!! Another killer build!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
espo Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 This is slick. Did you get to talk to the owner ? I'd like to know how he got that finish.
cobraman Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Very nice start. This will be a killer Willy's I am sure.
MODELFREAK2112 Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 John are you going to use those S,W,C, decals? I have two Pittman kits would like to build that black S,W,C.
Tommy Kortman Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Man, whoever built the 1:1 has got an excellent body man. That is some fantastic steel work on that body. "Impressive...Most impressive!"
Jantrix Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Looking forward to this John. Doing a bare metal rod has been on my to do list for a while.
Hedgehog Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I actually like the way this one coming along. The shape of the body looks attractive
MachinistMark Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Iirc the 1:1 is aluminum and was a class project from one of the " hotrod universities" i recall reading about it in hotrod

Tommy Kortman Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Iirc the 1:1 is aluminum and was a class project from one of the " hotrod universities" i recall reading about it in hotrod Wow, my mistake.

cobraman Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Hey John. In case I have missed something is there a site that I can go to and see all you past builds ? I have caught several that have been in the model magazines but was hoping you have a site with all of them in one place with larger photos than are in the magazines. Love your work. Thanks
