Did a search and came up empty. Does anyone have pictures available of Weesner's 28/29(?) closed cab, fenderless pickup. From what I understand it changed a bit while he owned it and ended up in Japan. Thanks so much for the help!
Here´s some sugar for 28-29 Closed Cab PU fans! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=204026&highlight=28+closed+cab
Any one know what magazine and isuue date for the pic above? Any other shots of it? Thanks guys - it's going to a good cause, I swear!
wow im in love... that truck is bad ass, definatly one of, if not the nicest closed cabs i've ever seen, the stance is right on...
Weez's pick up is awesome. Its ashame its in Japan. It was in fact the influence for my pick up but when I started to mock mine up I realised I wouldnt fit in it. So thats why I didnt chop & channel mine. It had a real late fifties flavour. I remember visiting Keith's place and he showed me a small card board model he made of it too!
Pretty sure that I took this picture at Paso several years ago, but it's the only one I shot of Keith's truck.
Thanks guys... I picks up one of these and didn't think that I liked chopped highboy versions - until I saw his. This is one of those body types that has to be done just right. Getting out the sketchpad right now...
The mag feature was from Custom Car in the UK. There was a tiny pic in Custom Rodder in the Paso coverage in 2000 I think. Also a shot at Paso in Rolls and Pleats. I don't have a lot of photos of it, Aaron's shots for the Custom Car piece were the best. It has black tires and top now with bigger headlights. Hajime drives the shit out of it over there. I wish I still had it, but it helped me buy my house. As Greg said, I made little cardboard model of it one time and said, "I'm gonna build that for real." Franco came by every couple of weeks when I was building it, so he knows how obsessed and crazy I was then! I just had a tiny floorjack, a cut up shopping cart for the 327/Hydro, a grinder and a 110 mig welder. Sawhorses for the frame, real high tech! Now I don't know how I had so much energy then. Michael ahrens did some work on it while I was at work one time, but other than that it was a solo deal. I sewed up a seat for it too.
Keith, Wold you please be able to post the pics that you have as well. It would also be neat to see what it looks like now? Greg
