Wonderbread Kustomz Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Very amazing work! That paint is just beautiful!!!
Mooneyzs Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 John... hey brother this is beautiful. You are my hero. Keep up the great work. This looks to be real close to being done. Tou are in the down hill stretch. Nice work buddy
Lanny Haas Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 John I think you have outdone yourself on this one.. Raised the bar as it were! With the right background, lighting and good photos we could pass this of as a real car. the little details that I see here like the steering shaft at the fire wall. Most would be happy with just the shaft going thru the fire wall to the steering wheel, but we have the Flex shaft, the joint, the collar , the pins and nuts, properly weathered. the brackets on the blower, nuts holding them on, the carb detail, screws, fittings, I still have'nt seen it all. Of course the paint flawless. You have the title of a master model builder in my book. This one belongs in Utah....
Modelbuilder Mark Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 That's it! I officially admit that I am NOT a model builder. I am an assembler at best compared to this. I cannot even get a straight line cust sometimes. LOL
jwrass Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 John, You could have...................... just kidding!!!! Absolutely stunning. That is not a model!!!!! It's a work of art. jwrass
