Duntov Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 John -- the wrapped exhaust pipes are pretty spectacular --- nice work overall as well!!! Regards Bill (Duntov)
gasser59 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 OMG - there's something wrong with you little brother. I can't quite put my finger on it though. LOL I was wondering what you've been up to. This is amazing.
DrKerry Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Ok John, I guess there's only one question that remains!!!!!!! Where are you gonna get the shrink gun so you can drive this bad boy, Because I still say that's a real car with a huge quarter and hand next to it!!!!!!!!
gasser59 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Since I can't use the adjectives I'd like on this forum, I'll just have to say That is 'expletively' gorgeous.
Mooneyzs Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 John... my big brother this is some fantastic work my friend. Looking killer as always. Keep up the great work. I am looking forward to more.

Agent G Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 You are posting pics of the real car aren't you? When will you start working on the model? BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH man that's superb. G
Joker Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Since I can't use the adjectives I'd like on this forum, I'll just have to say That is 'expletively' gorgeous. I see what you did there...brilliant !
Danno Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Since I can't use the adjectives I'd like on this forum, I'll just have to say That is 'expletively' gorgeous. Dittos!! Well said, Brad.
misterNNL Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Hard to find any unused superlatives at this point in the comments.Scratch building at this level si truly becomes an art form.You have to be able not only know what the real thing looks like but be able to go beyond that andundersdtand how all of the systems work and the proper way to plumb and connect them correctly. You've succeded very well in all of those areas and done it in very believable scale.The chassis work looks absolutely real except someone keeps photo shopping that darn quarter in there.I applaud your exceptional skills and dedication to replicating this car co accurately.A real show stopper and a lot of fun to follow. This will surely has to inspire a lot of builders to try something new or add more details than they had planned.Thank you being willing to share your process with the rest of us.

John Teresi Posted June 8, 2014 Author Posted June 8, 2014 Hello…….thank you all so very much for the kind comments…….I really do appreciate them ………not much of an up-date today…….I am waiting for my rear cheater slicks that my friend Mike Flynn is modifying on his lathe……. I can`t do very much till I get them back…….I may need to modify the body?…….so I am at a stand still…..…but,I did make some tail lights and bumpers…….painted Alclad……..thanks for looking.
customcory Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I love it. I get to see the real car all the time on fb. Craig has a bunch of neat models too!
John Teresi Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Hello……..thank you all very much for the kind comments…….I really do appreciate them ……..I ordered 2 sets of Modelhaus sidewall slicks…….and sent them to my Buddy -"Professional" Model Builder Mike Flynn………he cut them ,widened them,glued them back together and turned the groves on his lathe ……..now I have Cheater Slicks like the 1:1 HH………thank you Mike AWESOME tires……..i weathered them a little and added "Pro Tech" valve stems………got them attached with brake lines……..thanks for looking.

gasser59 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Outstanding lil' brother. Neat trick with the cheater slicks. Looks like you're on the home stretch.
