jessie james & B-J???

Hmmmmm??? Bonneville?......You never know??

 

damn no matter what anybody says "You are the man, Jesse" hope I'll be half as good as you at metal work someday.

 

You guys are funny............

 

That was my favorite episode! My high school had a fleet (about 12) of HoneyBees as drivers training cars on the closed course when I took the class in '77. My friends and I tore those things up...powerbraking...speedshifting....spinning out, pretending we didn't already know how to drive. The were basically bumper cars, but they kept running for years.

I hadn't seen a HoneyBee since. Brought back some good memories.

Jesse, you just gotta get a narrowed beam, 2276 w/ IDA's or a TO-3, Berg 5, etc into that Heb....
I can hear the "Vintage Nazi's" crying already....
Glad the Sour Kraut is staying in the collection, that night at Nicks was friggin' classic !!!!

Looks like you ended up with Bruce Braun's cars....

 

Haha... I know exactly what you are saying... without spelling it out.

correctamundo my friend. The game hasn't changed a bit in the last few decades. I've had cars "sold" to me a couple times when the game went south, and I've been used to push someone up as well. I stopped going in any formal capacity after that. I don't sleep well when that happens. It wasn't at the B-J or Kruse...you guys can figure out who it was.

Here's another one that happens...sell someone a big-dollar car that frequents the sales, you get "black-balled" in the game because it's sometimes perceived you cancelled out a potential sale for the auction house. Paranoia? Absolutely not. Been there twice, once after a Duesy sale I handled for $775K, the final blow was a 500K Mercedes for $2.4M, not through auctions. Even with a satified customer and all documentation of authenticity, history, etc, I supposedly "buried my customers" in over-priced cars. In the end, fuck em. I did walk away for a lil over a dozen years but now I'm back. What did I know all along? Well during bad times when NOTHING was selling the Mercedes brought $2.8M when it was time to sell. We have a standing offer of $1.2M on the Duesy but it's not for sale. I practically NEVER sell a person a car on "spec" and may never play the auction game still to this day.

With all these HD TVs it ought to be easy to figure out what's really happening for the less seasoned. Look and remember the faces as the days go by.

 

sweet pics jessie the split window is rad so is the chick. jeffrey

 

Now I really like the look of this part of your shop,and the project is going to kick ass for sure. There are haters and suck ups everywhere,all I have to say is you get the job done and your welding and fab work is right on..... this is coming from a person who would rather build something than buy it!!

 

R.I.P. Peg
damn that little pup touched my heart.

 

i like shit thats fast

 

love your stuff jesse keep it coming.......

 

Jesse, this is something I've always wondered and has bugged me a bit and now I can ask. Why did you try to have her leg fixed? was it detrimental to her health? It seems like you crapped out on an awesome dog on something that wasn't serious. I'm not saying your heart wasn't absolutely in the right place, I'm just curious is all. I'd do anything in the world including getting another mortgage on my house for my 3 pups. and Thank You for saving her from that junk yard!

 

no big deal about this stuff going away...the best shows were where Jesse got to blow shit up or use automatic weapons.........

 

What is the big black air tank in pic of streamliner or is it a air tank? Fantastic build room. No windows, no phone and a lock on the inside of the door would make it perfect!

 

haha, wow. i wasnt expecting to see a pst on jesse james and monster garage this week. this topic has been brought up twice now this week, Body Drop was at our shop this past week and is going to do a full bag kit on a 40 chevy COE. the front fenders where taller than him. it was quite the day with him at the shop.

 

Trust me! My wife and I have second guessed ourselves a million times on the decision to have ger leg removed.....I wish we would have just left it alone....But the fact was her little chicken wing leg was really messed up.....Besides the fact it was messing up her little shoulder because she was actually trying to walk with a leg that wasn't there, and she kept falling on her chin. The leg was also facing foward and "hook" shaped and we were afraid it was going to get caught on somthing and tear it open.
We really felt that we were trying to make her life better....

Never thought I would have got the call from the vet saying her heart gave out during surgery.....

makes me bummed today.....





On the Upside?

We got this little 2 legged Terror that sombody pulled out of a fresh litter and threw in the trash....

She is awesome!...Pop's Wheelie's All day every day!......Her name is "Ruby"....She can walk ....Run.....Jump pretty high and land on her feet and I also taught her to SWIM!!.....so she is safe aroung the pool!.......

 

Sweet dog! looks armless...I mean harmless!

 

How could anyone not love Ruby.just looking at her put a smile on my face........good on you for taking her on!!!!....Littleman

 

That's a very cool little dog, I'm glad she's getting a chance at life.

Bigs 'n Littles. Always a classic look.

 

those are some great photos. nothin like a good dog

 

Mr James ... When You Can Weld Bones And Flesh As Well As You do Metal You Will Truely Be Saintly...

 

that little dog rules all!!!!!

 

I am always amazed by all the vw haters on this site,There are so many of us that got our start from that incredible little car,Not to mention that you can make them haul ass.And as far as jessie and his love for animals who could question someone for trying to make something's life better.Thanks Jessie for the picts ruby made my day!

 

Hey Jesse-

How's the worlds fastest Hydrogen powered project coming?

 

Ruby is cool as shit...

I don't thin kthere are as many haters as you think, most people just know that this really isn't the place. They're accepted in small doses, but when it starts getting in the way of what this board is about then they have to go. There are plenty of boards for VW's, something that has been pointed out a lot. Same goes for muscle cars and street rods....

 

Props out to you and Sandra, Jesse. Others would discard what you have takin in. You both have big hearts. It was kool having Cisco follow me around your shop when Simo was showing me the place. He told me not to worry about him biting....hardly had any teeth. See ya at LSR soon! KNUX!

 

Michael Jackson, ruler!
