    Oh yes I'm sure it will get driven and registered.
    As far as his business he does a lot of prototype work for different companies. Usually nothing to do with metal forming though. He is also very talented at buying, rebuilding and refurbishing his own tools. You can hardly get around his shop for all the tools. His tools and everything else that compliments his tools he has made would make a thread of its own. You would be suprised .

    He's only been working on it about 8-10- months

    Yes I am very lucky. Not only is he talented he is a good guy. He would not post anything like this for himself because he is to modest. As far as the Yoder parts I'm not sure what all he sells. I know he has some pillow blocks that holds the dies and the rotating rods that make it go up and down.

    Mostly just a jig table. He actually had two tables and put them together to make one big enough to use for his frame jig table. This one does not have a vacume system. It also used as a stake table when you T dollies on it.
    Here's a few more pics I didn't post earlier. Some during the build and just some parts.

    That's mind blowing, or numbing...I'm not sure. Wish I had 1/10th that talent. Can't wait to see it completed...until then, more progress pics as you get them please.
     
  11. like everyone else, love it, BUT.....if the weez drew it in colour, then I'd love to see it in colour, otherwise its not the full deal....colour is a big part of 'the look', he's nailed everything else....awesome job.

    Cheers,

    Drewfus:)

    WOW! That definitely made my day! Amazing, for several reasons. I can't believe he MADE a '30-'31 cab! And that he's doing that truck, and that he's doing it that well! I'm honored and impressed. Can't wait to see more!

    PS. The girl might be harder to match, the auditions will have to be extensive.

    Kick ass build!!!! That's one of my favorite Weesner prints too!!! Love that truck!
    My next build is going to be heavily based off of Weesner's STYLE.

    One of the most talented fellows around who deserves more credit than one may offer. Great pic's and thanks for posting.

    P.S.: When a person is building a rod of this calibre, no one may offer advice as to whether it should be painted or not...... If you want it in color, maybe you should "attempt" to match this build.......
