I was really impressed with JJ after seeing the last Monster Garage... They modified a mercedes SUV so that it had hand-controls and wheelchair lift for a "physically challenged" driver (is that still the PC term? I know it all changes annually.) Anyway, at the end of the show, he just gave it to a random wrench-head that had been paralyzed from the chest down in an auto-accident.

Was it a publicity stunt? Maybe. Was it a cool thing to do, definitely!

It might have been a publicity stunt but I bet that kid doesn't care, they could have a ton of stuff to get publicity but chose to do something cool. I thought that was pretty cool, too.

That was a move in the right direction- but dont count on it being a trend........the producer probably reads on the Hamb- comments about the show!

That kid they gave it too crashed his car going over 130mph!! There are only a few things you should be doing going that fast, and if he didn't have proper safty equipment, maybe he shouldn't have been going that fast!!

Why didn't they have a wheel chair battle http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif or something w/ the two guys that actually built the thing and give it to one of them?!! There the one's that actually deserved it.

Just my opinion though.

I bought a copy of Old Skool Rodz, and I was just checking out the pic on the Jesse James '36. Looks like a nice car, except I can't see the whole car. The model is beyond hot. No complaints there. But I know who JJ is. I don't need 5 or 6 pictures of him. Is it too much to ask to see ONE shot of the entire car? Maybe since I have a '36, I am overly sensitive to the car. But I don't think so.

Anyone have any pics of this thing? The chop is brutally low...

I too just bought the magazine and thought the same thing, cool car - wish I could see it! I think we should go to the Ol Skool Rodz website and let them know!
