    Ok got some new photo's of Jimmy's project. He's hard at it. Trying to get all the chrome parts polished up and sent to the plater. Ya thats right he's doing all the polishing himself before he sends it to the plater. When he gets done with it it looks like its already plated but its not. The plater has got to love him and would probably like to hire him. Check it out.

    Here it is. All polished up and ready to go to the plater.

    Here he is painting the GREEN motor

    Ok The long awaited color. GREEN The motor and tranny are the same color as the body color. Jimmy went to great pains to get the right color green that he thought the WEEZ would be proud of. Sometimes pics dont do justice but I will tell you it looks great.

    I'll try to keep you posted when progress is made. Enjoy

    I´v ebeen impressed a lot of times on the HAMB. But this one tops them all, never seen anything like it. Keep the updates coming. I think Jimmy could build his own aluminum spaceship and go for a spin around the moon if he wanted to but i´m happy he´s building hot rods.

    YES, I know Jimmy went to Parks College for his AP License. He worked on many business jets. No doubt, He could build his own aluminum spaceship. He really enjoys the metalshaping and creating new metal & loves the craft. He loves the hotrods &kustoms. I know he has been around cars from his teens. I can't wait until he finishes the roadster(BARE)no paint and the other projects lined up, unless he pushing them aside for another hot idea. We will have to stay tuned. What is next?

    OK Just a quick upddate. Here's a sneek peek at to what it's going to look like when he get's it done The first shot is Jimmy performingw with gun in hand.

    [​IMG]

    This is the real deal. He's got most all of it painted. Just a couple of small pieces left and then the assembly should begin. His goal is Goodguys Indy. Now that everything is done it shouldn't be to bad to assemble time wise but you know how it is when your trying to put it together and not scratch anything. Enjoy

    There's not a dought in my mind that he can't do it but I'm not sure his wife would be ok with it.

    It's going to be cool for sure, but what a shame to cover up all of that incerdible metal work.

    Humbled, amazed and impressed.

    Jimmy if you read this and you're looking for another Son, I'm your guy :D
     
  29. Been subscribed to this build from the start. Once again, a HAMB build is helping push the bar up a notch. Green and white is an incredible color combo. Very well excecuted, from just a drawing. Love the interior AND the custom made panel UNDER the dash!:cool::cool:
    Will definitely need an over the top display stand if it is going to hit the show circuit. Thanks for sharing.

    p.s. just curious how much coin is tied up in this rig???
