    that guy doesnt have a freaking clue what hes doing. i mean he forgot to leave room for bondo, duct tape, chinken wire, and of course we all know that rounded roofs are supposed to have at least 15-20 relief cuts.

    but what can i say, its his car he truck ruin it if he wants :)

    I didn't want to be the first guy to ask. I waited for someone to ask so I didn't sound too greedy..

    So, how about it? Any updates? :D

    Whoa, Round II!

    It's like that Cool World flick.. So whadaya think, how long before this cat pops up Where's Waldo style in Acrylic on a Weesner board??? Keep those eyes on spy boys...... :D

    Real deal - it's great to see this.. Weesner's art is incredible; the atmospheres produced..... Man.. They're alive - this just seems, appropriate. To have two top-notch producers team up like this is really something special. Bravo buddy, for sure.

    I never expected to see another one pop up - seriously too cool.

    OK OK The updates are coming. Jimmy went to the GNRS and didn't get home till late wensday night because we had a snow storm here. He was stuck in Arizona and when he did get home I'm sure he had to plow snow for at least a day. Any way I'm sure he's a little behind. Stay tooned There is an important anouncement about the Emerald Tide though. You can check here to find out. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=378992 Check out about page 34 Very Impressive
    Congrats Jimmy

    Well Here's a quick long awaited update. Jimmy's been a very busy man lately. The first pic is of the door hinges that he rebuilt and made some bolt's to look like the original rivets.

    [​IMG]

    Next he fabricated some new rocker panels. The original ones were about 3/4" below the door and these will be flush with the bottom of the door.

    [​IMG]

    Next he actually bought some outer cab corners but didn't like them so he modified them. (Imagine that)He also made some inner cab corners and they will not have the pinch weld's showing like the originals did.

    [​IMG]

    and last but certainly not least is a pic of the inside of the door tacked together after he sectioned it. Not to shabby
    sorry for the small pics.
