    Good to know the man is still alive! Nice work Jimmy... you guys have been tweaking that thing for what? Like the last 4-5 years? I remember when he had that sitting in his driveway with the oldskool blue plexi and was a heap... NICE job gettting that thing where it is...

    Pumped to see this car made it on the road... You gonna take it to Bonneville?

    He started the car about 4 years ago, brought it to the shop and we worked on it as time allowed. Its crazy that the car has been around for so long, he has pictures of it from way back when. My friend in Oregon, Charlie Haskell is the guy that originally found it. We were able to get the full story on the car from him.

    Saw this car in person the other night and was uber-impressed! The quality and craftsmanship in every detailed part was inspiring. Jimmy is by far one of the most influential builders of today, and Brian's little roadster is going to turn alot of heads when it rolls back out of the garage!

    Keep the progress pictures coming, this car is going to make a statement.

    I am a Goofball, (trademarked by Steve W. 5/2007). The dash was a different experience for me. I was trying to let my inner Cole Foster out. Thanks again for your support dude. Texas-California love at its best..
    Love

    Gino and I were talking at the cruise the other night about making bumper stickers that said, "This car survived Aces and Eights". Or somthing like that.

  29. NOPE..."White is the new Shine" (think about it. It will come to you!)

    When it comes to details. Jimmy is the Michealangelo of Hotrods. NO ego either. Can't say enough about him!
