rsxse240 Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 I used to have one of these way back in the 80s. I never bothered getting another one, but now that I'm older, I'd love to find one and play around with it.
Foxer Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Ah .. good lead in. Crossing my fingers you're gonna keep hat chrome roof band ... one reason I love the '56 Vic.
Art Laski Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 I'll be sure not to enter that class... It's going to be great, John. Looking forward to watching!
espo Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 These are still very good kits with a lot of "bells and whistles" inside. Look forward to watching your build.
Ira Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Great Project! Can't wait to see your Custom Build...
bob terry Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 LOL. "Try and do a good job". We've seen your work. We're sure you'll do fine. I certainly enjoy following your builds.
Cool Hand Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 So are you doing them strictly box stock to enter in that category at the comp ?? If so will be interesting to watch you build these. I always wondered if you ever get burnt out doing full on detail builds one after the other.
moparfarmer Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 If John Teresi is building those 56 Fords, they will be fabulous..He does fantastic stuff...
John Teresi Posted November 12, 2014 Author Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Hello..........I got the mods finished on both bodys ..........they are in the rough but,will look better whith putty and fine sanding.........all the chrome has been stripped and will be painted Alclad........thanks for looking.

bobthehobbyguy Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 They both look great. Also curious about the box stock comment. I can see you've added plastic to the custom and mesh for the grill for the gasser so neither would be allowed in a box stock class. Still I like what you are doing and will be following.

I was ready to put the (outta-da-box) 1950 Olds I had just finished for sale on ebay... Lookin' forward to watching you build these Fords I'll have to checkout the Group 15 Class... I'm looking forward to going to Salt Lake next year, be my 1st time
Mooneyzs Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Johnny boy.... It's great to see you are at it again. These are gonna be some great builds with your talent. No matter what you build... You do it well.
espo Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Question on the Alclad trim. I'm having to redo a bumper because the "chrome" seems to rub off with any handling. Do use a clear top coat on yours?

Do use a clear top coat on yours? David.......no,I don`t use any clear coat........I try to handle the Alclad parts with a soft cloth........never handle with bare hands.......if you need to touch up any Alclad parts.......I do so when the parts are already glued onto the build......... then I mask around the area with very weak adhesive tape .......then airbrush the area again.........thanks
