[John Teresi]

Hello……..thank you all so very much for the kind comments…….I really do appreciate them …….I got the chassis painted H.O.K. white and weathered ……..I don`t want this build to look "Pretty"…….I want it to look like it just broke it`s class record at the Bonneville Salt Flats…….I installed the rear end…….and the seat ,and seat belts……..and the fire bottles…….thanks for looking.

[John Teresi]

few more progress photos……..thanks for looking.

I really like how you "dirtied up" everything a bit. It adds to the realism and takes away the "model car" look and instead looks much more like a real car.

[gasser59]

Get that gorgeous engine in there and fire it up already. What are you waiting for? LOL

[Mooneyzs]

Holy Crapola Johnny Boy!!! That is some mighty fine work buddy. I have to agree with Harry that the weathering looks great. I am digging it and need to try that technique on a build sometime. I think it would be awesome if they tires had a little bit of the white powder or a hint of the salt on them too, Not where it's caked on but just enough. And Brad is right... Hurry up and get that engine in there already.... Nice work Brother!!
