Projects Recreating the jesse lopez coupe

I went to a few of the Morton Loggers Jubilee's when I was a kid... always had fun watching.. Thank you for sharing Jer !

 

Thanks Jer...really enjoy your writing.

 

Thanks guys. No pics on this one.

 

Oh man, I am loving this! We knew you were a car guy Jerry, but holy shit! Outstanding stuff, keep it coming!

 

Thanks Jim. No pics here either, lots of em' are just around the bend.

 

F.Y.I. The windshield and back glass are installed at Glenn's. The front stainless has to be fitted, welded, and polished. Still waiting for some parts.

 

Very Nice , where are you makind and buy the windshield and the back glass gaskets ?

Thank you Jer , have you buy originals gaskets and you cut has the new dimension of your chop?
Or Denniscarpenter has them ready-made according to the chop?

 

They must be trimmed to fit the dimension's of your new opening.

 

OK thank's Jer

 

Sorry about picture quality.

Incredible paint job on that truck, check out Jerry's handiwork:

 

Thanks Jim, look out, more imperfect pics.

 

Attention T/Fuel Nostalgia racers; if you need a temp team member on an emergency basis, I can put you in touch with an experienced hand if you say nice things.

So fucking cool.
Love your self-effacing, matter-of-fact style, not to mention your brutal honesty about your strip pit days. Haha!

And, I did not realize that there is only one custom car god, I would have thought there were many.

 

The self- effacing style is the product of low self- esteem and my childhood (post#1677) experiences. Although this ingrained discipline/filter has been with me all my life, it’s only been these last years that I’ve made an astounding discovery. It provided cover for me that protected me and mine from force’s that were aligned to utterly destroy me. That (as they say) is another story.

There are many gods but, only one GOD.

I should have included this Cheetah pic earlier.

 

We here at HAMB are proud of you even if you still think nobody is.

Hell here we were thinking you were just one more old guy doing nice work then you lay your amazing story on us and we now know you have had one hell of a life building and painting cars.

No wonder you did such a fine job on BOTH cars we have seen on the HAMB you have had the experience to do it all along and we just didn't know it.

 

Thanks.
