John Teresi Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) I really like it John. Another one out of the ballpark. One quick question, Why did Kurt paint the engine block one color and the waterpump another? It seems a little odd. However I understand its his car and he can paint it any way he wants to. Just a curiosity I have. ?????........I have no idea.......but,I`ll ask him when I see him . Edited November 19, 2012 by John Teresi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Beautiful work, John. Love the heat staining on the headers. And that steering wheel with the rivets and woodgrain... beautiful. The model could pass as a real car in many of your photos. Another winner from you. No surprise, though. I know that sometimes people point out when you miss the mark a bit as far as specific details or absolute accuracy, but nobody can deny your craftsmanship. You are a true artist. x2!!!

kenlwest Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Generally speaking, I just like to lurk around on this forum, but after seeing this masterpiece, I just had to comment. This has to be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen rendered in plastic! It could easily pass for the real thing! The radiator cap, and steering wheel; EVERYTHING!! absolutely speechless... Congratulations! Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Did this one get finished? Or did I just miss the final pictures (Wouldn't be impossible ). It looks so good, that I'd like to see the final pics if it is already done. Edited April 6, 2013 by W-409 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Great, then I didn't miss anything. Now I have to go and subscribe the Magazine. The thing I had to do already a year ago, but somehow I forgot to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Niko... I can tell you this... This build was even better in person. I got to see it in person at the NNL West this year and what eye candy it was. I love Johns work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnwildpunk Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Someone posted a link to this in another post I checked the link out and had to go back and see the whole build. Amazing I can't believe the detail you put into this! Like the carb heat stains on the headers, and that awesome paint job. I just wish I was 8.5" tall so I could take it for a spin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Truely incredible model, you're a master of so many techniques.I'm sure this will stand as a model hot-rod benchmark for many years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
