Interceptor Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Wow, how could I have missed this incredible build. John, once again I'm in complete awe to your work. This is going to be yet another great build. Mark
GoatGuy Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Super stuff John. It looks great. Looking forward to more of this.
W-409 Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Excellent work as always, John! All of those details really look great, and when this is Hot Rod with the hood removed, they will be more visible than in "normal" car. Very nice job!
