John Teresi Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 This is one Amazing build, Back when I was younger these were the way everything was Customized, no stone left unturned, some Customs were Wild and then the very mild Customs, builds like this would always come from the West Coast, Midwest and East Cost had the More Mild Cars. The Midwest always dropped the Rear of the Cars, The West alway's dropped the Front, The Chopped Top seemed to spred like Wild Fire. But anyway that you looked at this Builds, it was alway's a Love or Hate deal, myself as a Old Guy, I've always have respected the Workmanship of these Builder's and to make a Minature Copy of a onetime eye catcher such as this, with so much detail,I Vote a Hugh Yes to what John has done here. Way to go John, you nailed it to a tee!!! I don't care what those who don't care for this Car have to say, I'd tell them to shut up and to not even make a comment!! Oh by the way my Wife and I spent our 52 Wedding Anniversay in the ER, I Busted up my Knee, so much for Party Time! Michael.........Happy Anniversary.......sorry to hear about your knee........get well soon........you will look back at that day and have a laugh.........thank you so much for you compliment.........the next custom I make is as wild as this one........but,it will be another challenge.

72 Charger Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hi John i will say what everyone else said Wow cool . But I was just looking at the first pics of the 1/1 and I noticed that your engine seems to have to much angle to it compaired to the 1/1 car ?

Psychographic Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Another build that is beyond words. I might not always like the subject you choose to build, but I think I see why you pick them. You seem to enjoy a challenge of recreating something that requires a lot of thought, skill, and effort. I would add time to the list, but you really fly through these builds. Not once have you failed to amaze me since I've found your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Possibly one of your wildest builds, but it's also one that will make the jaws drop at a show. Great fun to watch this one get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
