Projects Weesner Inspired Hot Rod (Hand Built) UPDATE

I have spent the last two days slobbering over this thread. I saw it mentioned in a World Of Rods magazine article. They just showed two pictures of it at the Nationals, and said they had been watching the build online. I figured it was on here some where. Man I am blown away by the quality workmanship. The man even does his own interior. I'll bet he paints it himself. Talk about envy, I wonder if I could touch him and see if any of it would rub off on me. I can't do half the shit he does. Jimmy you are the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well said. How do we get this man to do a cable TV show?
No drama, just excellent do it yourself build info!

Can't wait to see what little Jimmy comes up with in the future!

 

Ridiculous! Thanks for the updates.

 

This truck and Jimmy's talents are amazing. I just found this thread and can't believe it. Will it be a The Good Guys event in Indy? I can't wait to see it for real. I gotta go and subscribe right now. AMAZING !!!!!

 

Yes the weez has seen it and was impressed. I think if you look back in this thread you might see a pic of the Weez and Jimmy standing next to the truck at the Hunnert car pileup.

 

Thanks 193257 for the updates.

 

The truck is ridiculous, but HOLY SMOKES his shop would be worth me getting rid of ol' Lefty... maybe Righty too...

 

Its like watching the miracle of child birth!! Im literally drooling

 

Just went through the whole thread - and I am amazed!!! I am a fan of both Weezner and model A pickups, so how could this be better?? More please!!!

As said before: WOW!!

 

Just a little update. Stopped by Jimmys the other day to check the progress. He's just about ready to tear it apart but is making a lot of little pieces that take a lot of time. Pieces like the escutions around the brake pedal and dimmer switch. You can buy these pieces but he wants to make them and plate them. Here's a pic of the dash that Mr. Weesner signed last year at the Hunnert car Pileup.

Here's a couple of pics of the seat. Notice how everything lines up like the piping and the pleats.





He still needs to make the trim pieces that go over the folding part when you fold the back forward.



He's got just a couple of pieces left to make before he tears it apart for paint and then final assy.

 

This is my elysium...

 

amazing greatly amazing, it is unbelivable how much talent this man has.

i have a set of those dodge lancer caps on my 55 pontiac i hav'nt seen anouther set in a while

 

I have been waiting to hear something on this. sitting on the edge of seat for updates.........what parts or machines working on to do stuff with.
Can't wait to see him spread some paint on the truck to see the color.????
We all here say Thanks for keeping us updated with more info.

 

ok, I meant to say spray some paint to see what color it will be!

 

That is an Amazing build for sure. Not much can be said other than, Wow!

 

Amazing!.... Subscribed!

 

INSANE!!! I'm speechless !!

 

DAMN, That is a whole different level of craftmanship, on a different planet... other worldly.

Are his thumbs flat?

 

Wow!!!!!! Amazing build!

 

That's some really nice stuff

 

Yup!! To think, here I was all proud that I could bend some sheetmetal and make it line up. This is AMAZING!!

 

Iam truly humbled by Jimmy's talent the man has a gift, and his son looks like he is hooked with the same love and talent . Father and son under the dash of a car nothing could be more connected. Rob

 

Ok Fella's Just a little update. Jimmy's finally got the interior done and here's some pics just to show how multi talented this guy is. About another week and he will be ready to blow it apart and start the bodywork and paint process which he is doing all himself. Very few people can honestly say they did it all themselves but this guy is the real deal. Enjoy

 

Wow !

 

You needed a super interior to fit the quality of this truck, mission accomplished.

 

This is so incredible, I'd like to do a whole piece on this in Gearhead.

 

holy crap thats cool

 

Great updates

 

Super craftsmanship and eye to detail.

 

Looks great!
