I've studied that painting. The exhaust pipes are one of the coolest parts of the painting. Looks like you nailed it, yours are equally awesome, nice to see 'em in real chrome .

Don't know what area the truck will be in. He said he might have to bring it in on a trailer if it's not running. If he does he might have to bring it to the Hot Rod repair area just to get it in the door. Depends on how much of a stickler they will be.

 

That is incredible workmanship. Makes me sad looking at what I have done.

Keep us posted!

 

Rick, thanks for the update. I can't wait to see this baby.
Please keep the info coming and send more pictures.

 

Every possible comment on this one has been posted already, i just wanted to add that there arent enuff wow or amazing to match the level of his skills. I might have seen a shop pull such a build w/ a joint effort of very talented staff, but one guy doin this n his own in less than a year is totally sci-fi, regardless of the subject, then beeing inspired by a weesner drawing sends it into orbit.....oh and BTW, i'd love to see it in green

 

First I want to thank 193257 for making this thread, second I want to thank Jimmy for acquiring the skill set to make work like this possible. I love to see builds like this, the skill involved is out of this world. Seeing this sort of work just brings up a million questions in my head. One day I hope I can muster 10% of the skills your friend Jimmy has obtained. This is some of the best work and probably one of the best shops I have seen as far as usability and the amount of tooling. Would love to be a fly on the wall in that shop for a couple of years.


Can't wait to see more pictures of this truck. Thanks for sharing.

 

i have to agree with, WOW!

 

Whats left to say?

Amazing!!!!!

 

I'm simply dumbfounded by the talent and work ethic he possesses. Incredibly inspiring work, and amazing shop! Thanks for posting this up.

 

Absolutely incredible

 

I am so impressed!!! Love the truck...love the art!

this thread is like crack, no matter how hard you try to get off it you cant, and even when you do you have to come back for more.

this build is truly awe inspiring, i think every one here wants to someday have just a small amount of the skill he holds.

 

Ha ha you're right. Every time I see it I have to reopen it praying for an update.

 

Sorry about being a day late and a dollar short but here's the latest. Jimmy worked way into the night on Tuesday because he had to leave on wensday and he had not fired the motor yet. He got up early on Wensday and the guy that went through the motor came over to give him a hand. The guy you see in the first pic is the guy that went through the motor along with Jimmy and his son under the dash trying to finish the wiring enough to get it up on the trailer for now. Its not quite runing and driving material yet but it will be when he gets home from the NATS. He fires the motor @ 9:00 AM on Wensday and loads it on the trailer @ 9:30 AM.



On the trailer and ready to go




He made it to Louisville and into the show late wensday afternoon. Hope all of you get to see this piece of talent someday. It's worth the look. Enjoy.

 

Awesome.

 

Cool, can't wait to see some pics from the show!!
Amazing, on this last picture it just looks like on the painting - I love it!!

 

Seen it at the nats today... very impressive!

 

Superb!

I'll look forward to the latest pictures!

HOLY SHIT!!!!! That is some of the nicest metal work i have seen in a while. This truck kicks butt and is an inspiration to us all. Can you say TITS!!!

 

Cool! Glad to see Jimmy working on something like that.

Tell him that Aaron up in Illinois says "Hi". I haven't seen him in a while....

 

thats perfect

 

I'm in LOVE, but don't tell my wife!!!!!

Nick.

 

Truly Amazing.

 

I can't stop looking.... This shit gets better by the second. I would cream my jeans if I got to see this in person.
