Another Weesner Inspired Hot Rod (Lit Up)

Finally, someone who builds just like me!

 

Wow!! Wish I had the coin to buy this truck when it's finished. This guys shop must be what's behind Hevens gates.

 

I wonder if he will frame that napkin ? I bet it is nice to see your artwork come to life.

 

Can I repo my axle? You know the truck has to come with it... This is amazing!!!!

 

I can't work out whether I should simply give up metalworking right now, and admit defeat, or be inspired and driven on to improve.

 

I met Jimmy at the Goodguys show in Des Moines last 4th of July weekend. Talked with him for about 20 minutes. Nice guy for sure and talented as hell. Love that green pickup of his. He told me at the time he was going to build this one and I believed him. Can you tell me if he is going to paint it just like Weesner's artwork, because I love those kinda flames? I would imagine he is. Going to be really cool.

 

WOW! Great work Jimmy. again.

 

Hello, most do not know Jimmy has slept with a lead helmet since he was a kid! That is how he has kept all that talent inside his head. Talent beyond possible?????

Super GUY.

 

Damn that thing looks like chrome!!!! just incredible

 

nice work on both trucks really nice

 

Yeah, me too!

 

Could probably make some money selling those frames and cross members. There's money in porn.

 

sweet!

 

Wow!

 

unreal!

 

Jeebus, that thing makes me emotional!!

 

We need more metal shaping porn!

I can't wait to see more body fabrication. The frame's beautiful too!

Definitely gives me some ideas for if I do a truck later!

 

Somebody call the fire department -- I just lite all my chit on fire

Beautiful

 

I had the privelege to meet Jimmy at the KC Goodguys and get a look at the Emerald Tide. The truck is absolutely amazing, the kind that pictures just can't do justice to. As for the builder, the only thing more impressive than his ridiculous amount of talent is his humility. I walked away in awe, and judging by the comments on this thread I'm not the only one. The guy is a class act for sure and I can't wait to see this new project come together.

 

Jimmy and his wife Deb parked next to me at the NSRA NATIONALS back in 2009.

He does amazing wrk and is a NICE guy to boot.

His wife Deb and his son are very friendly folks.

I wish I was as talented ...

 

I hope we get an update soon.

 

Ooowee, man! That's just way to friggin' badass. The frame. The frame....

 

Thanks for sharing Jimmy dose fantastic work!

 

When I grow up I want to be just like Jimmy...AWESOME STUFF MAN....

 

Wow! Kinda makes me wann grab my lil playskool tools and hide in the garage for awhile.

 

crazy fab skills

 

"Hey I think I'll just whip up a frame with my lazer cutter today...."

And....yeah....and I'll just read about it on the HAMB and be envious.

 

I can be a pretty jaded MF... but this is incredible. Subscribed. I'm in fucking awe.

Thank you Jimmy, and thank you Keith!

 

Wow! ... How did I miss this thread?

193257 - Thanks once again for sharing your friend Jimmy the Metalman's talents ... IMHO, weez's "LIT UP" pickup is the epitome of CL ... it will be great to see it come to life here on the H.A.M.B.!
