Do you have a guest room, Jim? I'd like to come be your upholstry apprentice for a while!! Out of everything that is definitely what I know the least about and obviously have mastered it!

Thanks Ben, for the compliments. No I haven't mastered it, I still need to learn a few things. When I'm at car shows I always look over the interior to see how people do their work, sometimes it hard to figure out how they did it. Oh yeah I have a guest room, it even has padded walls

Haven't posted on here in a long time, maybe no one is subscribed anymore.
Today I got my February issue of Custom Classic Trucks and was surprized to see that Jimbo's truck was in the Readers Truck section at the back of the mag. It's not a full blown feature, but it made me happy. At least my son and I can say we had some of our work show up in a mag

. I scanned the two pages and hope that show up half way decent on here....Jim

litew8, I knew Jimbo had sent pics to the mag along with a write up, I think about 6 months ago, but never thought it would show up. I sent stuff in for my pickup about 5 yrs ago and nothing. I'm just happy his was shown.....Jim

spike38 · 01-24-2012, 01:05 AM

Definitely an excellent keep sake.

I'm just teasing Jim. I'd be happy too, man that's just cool to have your work showcased.

Cameron 1137 · 01-24-2012, 06:58 PM

Very cool!, now you can say you build Magazine trucks!

VWBeamer · 01-24-2012, 08:44 PM

IMHO, the truck is nice enough to be a feature article. great work.

Funny thing about car magazines. I submitted a 2 page technical article to one the car mags, and never heard anything from them. About 4 months later a friend on facebook congratulates me on the article. The magazine published my article and never told me...or paid me. They did give me credit though.

Indian113 · 01-24-2012, 09:20 PM

Way to go Jim!! That is a nice write up glad you got some credit. I think your truck deserves a Center Page

bollybib · 01-24-2012, 09:57 PM

Your work deserved to be shown in that mag. Congrats !
