John Teresi Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 Hi John, I'm just sitting back in awe.. beautiful work mate. Quick question..(may have been answered before but i couldn't find it)...What are you using to hold it all together during the mockup stage?. Tape?, white glue?, contact adhesive.? cheers Ian Hi Ian.......I use Aleene`s original tacky glue........it comes in a 5 oz bronze color tube........cost around $1.50 .......I like to use it because it holds together great and will remove very easy........I also use 3m green tape when I get lazy ..........thanks
gautreau Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 WOW.Looks awesome so far John. can't wait to see the final results.
DrKerry Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Ok, I'm picking myself off the floor. Bad A.............
Mooneyzs Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 John... this just keeps getting better and better my friend. Boy its looking great!!
Dr. Cranky Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I'm just sitting here with the biggest smile on my face. The shaggy rear really really really does me in! LOL!
John Teresi Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 I'm just sitting here with the biggest smile on my face. The shaggy rear really really really does me in! LOL! Thanks Dr........I think once I get the shag attached to the trunk and headliner and trimmed/combed down to scale it will look like the 1:1 car........thanks
george 53 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 John, if ANYBODY can copy this hideous thing, YOU can do it!!! NEVER liked this thing ,but I give you full Kudos for even tryin it! Even as a model I think it's UGLY, but you can make a silk purse from a sows ear, so I DO believe your model will be an EXACT copy! Please don't take this wrong, but EVERYBODY has different tastes.

George.......I hear what your saying.....I am actually not a fan of the 1:1 car as well......but,some of the creation is crazy in a good way for modelers that want to go that extra step........lately I have been trying to build off the wall projects..........and I thought this project would be a gossip getter?.........as is the real 1:1 car.........I`m sure I will get allot of opinions on this build before it is done.......especially on body,engine,color,flames,shaggy fur,etc..........the list goes on and on and on.........but,I thank you for the compliment
Tom Geiger Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 The car is sooo far 'out there' that you will never forget it. And with modelers, the first thought is, "I bet I could I build that!" I totally understand!
GoatGuy Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Mr Geiger- my first thought is "I wish I had those skills and experience." But it is something we will never forget. A build that is a real journey. Keep 'em coming John and congratulations on the trophies won at the Roadster Show in Pomona.
John Teresi Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 Hello........just a small up-date.......I have been sick with the Flu......got a little bench time today ....... modified the chassis to attach the Hemi........I made some headers and side exhaust tips.......also made a firewall........I will work on the bumpers next.........thanks for looking.
John Teresi Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 few more progress photos........thanks.
Austin T Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 WOW those headers are like a work of art! Do you have any shots of them out of the car?
geemoney Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 are those the amt pirana valve covers? i saw this truck in custom rodder a long time ago in a little pic at the bottom of the page, it was in primer then. cool work!
Ramfins59 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Good Lord John... those headers must have been a real bear to make. You are one patient and talented modeler.
vintagedragfan Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 so nice John!, the headers are even freaky lol, how much time do you have in those? keep at it bro
John Teresi Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Austin: The headers are not finished........I still need to sand ,primer and putty........then I will take more pictures. Mike: I don`t know where the valve covers came from.......I got them from my parts box........I still need to modify them. Bill: they took a couple of hours.......I still need to clean them up a little . Thank you all for the kind comments. Edited February 7, 2013 by John Teresi
Mooneyzs Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 John.... nice work bud!!! it just keeps getting better and better. The headers look great!
