    What ones would you do? It's hard to decide maybe we should take a poll.
    I think about Better take a sweater, or kandy krate, call of the wild.

    Now that looks like some very nice work! I always like to see people who are dedicated to perfection. I'd love to see this car one day at a show!

    The Yoder hammer is not easy to control and it takes a real craftsman to use it. Hats off to you! Keep up the good work and always follow your dreams!

    I hope I am not dropping a line someone else already has and I missed but after paint how bout a photo reneactment of the weesner pic ? that would be so cool some dangerouse looking ginger leaned way over the truck finding a beach and redhead should be relatively easy but that plaid blanket and a log with a "woody" might be difficult. am just saying how cool would that be ?

    I guess he made the cool brass door hinges as well, would love some of those on my coupe. True meaning of a "build" right there.

    That is way too nice to paint. There is not a color in the world more pretty than that gorgeous metalwork.

    That'd be a great idea - I've got a print of the Weesner pic hanging on the wall here, and would happily pay for a matching print of a 'reenactment photo' to hang beside it- could make a good fundraising idea for the HAMB if it could be organised?

    I got to touch and see this truck for the first time yesterday at the Pileup. Now I like my cars to shine but this truck should remain in its raw metal form as the craftsmanship is godlike. Every little detail is like a new discovery and he isnt even done with it. If you ever get a chance to see this little truck you will understand. If he paints it,I think it wil actually lose some of its WOW factor. All of the handformed metal/aluminum work is top notch,off the chain,insane. Beautiful!!!!

    I checked this thing out in person at the Pile Up. Man, it's more impressive in person than the pictures let on. The fit and finish is unbelievable. Didn't get a chance to talk to Jimmy or Rick but I had a nice chat with Jimmy's wife. She told me how long he's been working on the truck. Hard to believe a guy can get that much done in such a short time. I'll be looking for this one again. It's cool.

    Thanks for posting this Rick.

    Talked to Jimmy today about the dash and he said he might try to get the Weez to do something special for the dash. Don't know what he has in mind but I'm sure it will be special
