Dr. Cranky Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 BEAUTIFUL, John. I wish I could say this is my favorite one of your builds, but I have a long list to add this one to.

Burnout Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Flippin' incredible. You have set the bar to unimaginable heights, John. This may be your best yet? Now, I'm going to go look for another hobby to take up.
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Absolutely incredibly amazing. Some of the most awe-inspiring and just plain inspiring work I've ever seen.
Sixx Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 C'mon John, why you gotta show the real one for?? LOL!!!! Man, I'm speechless, That is one BAD### model!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tyrone Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 John..... this is an AWESOME build brother... especially as quick and nice as you are able to crank out these builds is what blow my mind each and every time... what else is there to say that has not already been said... YOU THE MAN....
Dominik Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 ...what to say, when all is said and you're speechless? Just "wow" - and now i am searching for a new hobby *lol*
cobraman Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 That is such a beautiful car. It turned out fantastic ! Can you give us a hint about your next build ?
Scott Colmer Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Excellent work, John. I too think this may me one of your best! Scott
Alyn Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 When it comes to realism, you are The Man ! I never know whether to compliment you for you stellar building and painting skills, or the way you handle a camera. The combination of the two provided some fantastically realistic shots. I'm still in love with the Bentley shot on the cover of MCM, but this one is at least it's equal.
Mooneyzs Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 John.... I don't know what else to say man. I have loved seeing this build come to life Bud!! Your builds are always great and clean. As I have mentioned to you before, you are one of the many builders who I look up to here. I am looking forward to seeing this build in person. Oh yeah on another note.... one of these days when I make It out to some of the So Cal shows. I seriously want to take some pics of my builds at your famous spot for pics. always love them man. Killer job!! Now I can't wait to see what you will be building next.....
BluePopsicle Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Amazing build John! As I started looking through the pics, I started wondering if it was the real car. Incredible detail sir! Great Job.
bryan_m Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 john, are there real pics of this car in here?..........that is sweet! i was honestly confused for a few minutes, some of those shots look so real! very nice work. how about a couple close shots of the engine please........thanks! cheers bryan
Cool Hand Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) As always top quality and highly detailed. Such a treat to watch your builds in the w.i.p stage,and then be blown away everytime when you show the completed build. Edited October 9, 2012 by Cool Hand
