Wow - amazing!

 

Bitchin!

 

OK Here's the latest as of yesterday. 7/25/09. jimmy's making progress. The motor is mostly put together and in the truck. Hi picked up the headers from the platers and are on. You really need to look at the headers. There are no welds showing and look exactly like the drawing from Mr. Weesner. Jimmy built the headers and polished them himself before he took them to the chrome platers. They looked like they were plated before he had them plated. That's how nice he had them. The plater was impressed!!!





The cab is sitting on the frame for the last time.





Here is a pic of the gas tank on the left and the battery box on the right sitting inside the frame rails



Jimmy wanted to set the bed on there for a trial fit while I was there and it looks good. He wasn't quite ready to put it on for the final time so we took it back off.






He is putting the Q/C together for the last time and then under the truck.



Just a shot of the headers on the motor.



Just a few general shots in his shop. Maybe I'll do a thread sometime of his tooing. He said it's too messy now. Ha.











He's making progress but has a lot to do. He said he's got about 11 or 12 days to go. It may not be completly done but will be at the nats for sure... ENJOY

 

Thanks for the update and keep the coffee hot and flowing, looks to be some long days ahead.

 

HOLY DOG NUTS BATMAN !!! this guy sleeps with more talent then I will EVER have.

 

Thanks for the great picture of this cool build.
We love the new updates and keep em coming, can't wait for more.

 

This looks so good in bare metal alone. What skills!
Does it come with a leopard skin clad beauty in the bed too???

 

Looks smoken just super work there!
Bear metal looks great building but sure hope it gets paint later.

 

Oh yea I'd be embarassed about the shop also, what a shit hole! JK. No wonder he can make up that kind of stuff, that shop is what dreams are made of. His skills are off the hook too! Keep the pics comming.

 

The only word i can think of is impressive

 

It just gets BETTER if thats possible!

Nick.

 

unbelievable

 

definatly do a thread on the tooling, if you already haven't, the shop is incredible. So many tools i wish i could afford to buy or build. some day maybe. But id definatly like to see more pictures of his tooling.

 

I am inspired to get off the couch and get working on my car and the shop.

this is what the hamb is about.No bitchin' and complanin' or " OT"shit.Keep it coming and thank for the post from north of the border!

 

That's no Garage... That's an Industrial HOSPITAL!!
You can't go wrong with your caliber skills and the tooling to match!!!!
I love the sheet storage pallets above the blue brake shear ..I've never seen that.
Go Man Go!!!

 

A man after my own...White Castle sign..love them belly bombers!!..also what workmanship...outstanding!!

Mench

 

thanks for the update, it's well worth looking at! that shop is just WOW!

 

Good eye!!! Didn't know if any body would pick up on that. He made the sheet storage racks. You cant see it from that pic but to the left of the forklift is a whole rack of sheet storage. He pulls out the rack he wants lowers it to the same level as the shear and unloads the material and shears what he needs and puts the rack back in line. He really used his head when he built the racks.

 

Freaking awesome work!!
Got me the poster a couple weeks ago, and then I few days later I've seen this...
Really cool truck!!

 

keep the updates coming, can't wait to see more.
I am glad you have this on the H.A.M.B. for us to see.
Thanks,

 

rad! killer shop too!

 

OK As of sunday night Jimmy is still making progress but murphy's law has dealt Jimmy a fit (as usual). Don't have any pics as of right now but they are coming. He's still planning on leaving wensday morning and will be there sometime wensday afternoon. He's not sure if it will make it under its own power or not yet but is bustin his butt to make it. He said it will be there one way or the other. Stay tuned and I will post pics as soon as I get them from Jimmy. (I'm out of town but he said he would email me some pics.) Thanks Rick

 

Thanks for the update. We've been waiting to hear something on the build.
We can't wait to see more pictures too.
Do you know where the truck will be at? What area?
Can't miss this one! Got to see the truck!!!!!!
Keep it coming.......
