Beautifully Crafted. Betting no one else has a Display Case with that much Character and standout presence. I'm sure the folks at Geo. Dickel are proud, and appreciative of it !!
I am Godsmacked. Dude, your skill is off the charts, but your imagination is what is so impressive. Taking something worthless and coming up with an idea to make it a one of a kind piece of art is...well, badass. The way you came up with the inlay for the tailgate is the crowing touch. You have the gift, that much is certain!
Such a simple idea. I would have been happy without the wheels but the way you mounted them....again a very simple idea that works so well. The plastic pressed metal is a stroke of genius. That is an awesome piece of work, well done JD.
I'll say it just as a few others have... VERY INSPIRING. I love how a few of your techniques in past videos come into play on this one. CNC, form pressing, cabinetry, patina paint, car demo (like the car coffee table). Your minds eye see the end product and with all your experience and techniques you just go at it. You make it look easy. Hats off! Also, Nick Bilton a bud of yours from NY says "hi". I showed him your toybacker campaign and he was blown away.
Another baller build. Watching you work and "freestyle" a project is epic. I can almost sense the gears clicking as your brain works stuff out in real time. The epitome of process.
I really love seeing you do things that I would have never thought of. That is what makes this kind of teaching/entertainment awesome. You have some very creative thinking going on. Thanks for challenging me! Oh yeah, and I had a good laugh at the 3:40 mark... those of us with tight quarters in our shops totally understand having to temporarily prop something up so that we can get at a tool!! :-) Keep it up, Jimmy! ...art
+jimmydiresta The patch they created to fix the 301 view bug is still in the Beta stage for the most part it is working, but it has seen a couple of glitches. It's my understanding that once a video reaches 50,000 views it somehow corrects itself. It will not effect your ad revenue only how it displays on the player page. Check your analytics, it may be showing there correctly. BTW GREAT BUILD !!! Can't wait to meet you in KC at WIA
Jimmy this is awesome! I think the fresh wood stands out nicely with the rusted body. It'd be cool to see you hack an old truck up to be a bed. Have the back of the cab be the headboard and replace the rear window with a mirror.
Wow that faux stamped metal turned out great! I was wondering how you were going to match the color and was amazed with how well the steel wool rust trick worked! Great work Jimmy!
Lots of really cool techniques used! I do scale modelling and can really appreciate the weathering stuff. Great job! One funny thing about this is that truck would be considered a primo restorable treasure around here (Calgary, AB). Stuff like that just rusts away into nothing in my neck of the woods.
I probably enjoy the sped-up music more than I should... XD Neat build! The funny thing the haters don't realize, is that this display could be purchased by somebody years from now and turned into truck parts again! Ingenuity!
Wow Jimmy! This was awesome! My favorite part was the treatment on the tailgate. If I hadn't watched it, I wouldn't believe that center section was plastic. Job unbelievably well done!
Another great project! It is funny because when the wind blows in the right direction I can smell Ole George cooking the mash at my house... Keep up the great work and I wish you would let us know when you are down this way so I could stop by and say hello to you.
I thought you were sending the name plate out to be machined. There's no way he's putting plastic on that truck. It was one hell of a transformation, thanks for the videos. Another great combo of materials and artistic vision.
Can you believe there are 91 souls that did not find this entertaining.... I'm glad I'm not one of them! This is one of my favorite videos of yours. That would be at least 140 favorites now :-) Thank you Jimmy!
Well, I think the steel wool itself rusted away, and left its rust streaks, which were later coated in a clear polyurethane spray or something to encapsulate the streaks onto the surface of the plastic. That's my guess 😀
+Mathieu D I think he knows, he was simply referring to a video where Peter Brown used a salt block to make a bracelet, he used a Lathe to mill the bracelet from the salt block (Salt corrodes metal quickly that's why he hates using salt around his power tools) lol
I love this, it's about the 5th time I watched. Now I want my husband to make me one for our living room lol but that would mean we would have to remove a wall to get it in :) lol THIS is Awesome Diresta!
Let's play the Diresta game! What's this game about? Pretty simple. Try to count all the "diresta" signed items in the particular scene! For instance 3:35 there's Diresta on the wall, on a drawer and such. Have fun playing!

Great display! I am really impressed with how original the tailgate came out.
Great work Jimmy. The 2:20 mark shows an excellent tip where you mark you spot on both boards, then flip the positions. Genius.
A prime example of the creative genius of Jimmy DiResta. Creative and useful. What more could anyone want?

My first vehicle was a '79 GMC. Seeing that truck brings back memories.

Creative Genius combined with craftsmanship and a lot of Old Fashioned "Know How" is enough to make any man Jealous!
Jimmy, You Rock!

+WF Castro haha thank you !!! Please
Give Nick my love!
Even as a classic car lover that was very clever and creative. A worthy sacrifice.
PERFECT "plastic rust" always doing something slick like that. Great job Jimmy!
Definitely one of your coolest projects! The tailgate turned out way better than I expected.
I'm equal parts impressed and amazed in how many projects you've squeezed into one video!
Another baller build. Watching you work and "freestyle" a project is epic. I can almost sense the gears clicking as your brain works stuff out in real time. The epitome of process.
you sir are a MACHINE! Only you could make plastic look rusty... mind blowing!
another sweet product @jimmydiresta I love the old stuff being reused. The rusting of the tailgate was a very cool addition.
I really love seeing you do things that I would have never thought of. That is what makes this kind of teaching/entertainment awesome. You have some very creative thinking going on. Thanks for challenging me!

Keep it up, Jimmy!
...art
The display is so cool!! I swear watching you make things is like magic.
Also, your white drill reminds me of a Storm Trooper or an AT-AT Walker!
Courtney Ortiz-Cseh BAE. lol
I don't know you.....but I think I love you
I have only done vinegar salt and steel wool on metal...never tried it on plastic and paint...thanks for the awesome trick/tip!!!
assuming that is what you used?
That's just awesome! This is one of my favorites of yours!
Matthew Cremona thank you Matt!
Cool
Really like the tailgate sign. Great job making it look aged!
I love classic trucks. Many of these stepsides came from the factory with wood beds.
Your results are even better than I anticipated. Nice job.
absolutely blown away by this project - wow
such a great use of an old classic truck bed. Amazing execution as usual JD
Awesome build, loved the letter press and the rustic sign!
So cool. You did an awesome job recreating the rusted out tailgate!
That rust turned out amazing, wow!
any one know why the view count started over ? i was about 3k and it started over?

WannaBeWood Smith Is this affecting analytics also? According to TH-cam, I lost 47 subscribers. I only have 47.
+Knotheads Cny Yeah, that's been happening lately. Happened to me the other day and said I had zero subscribers.
i dunno why, but the vid says 66 views right now.
Make Something Thanks, David. I've been wondering about that for about a week.
That steel wool trick is genius... that's going in the book of stuff to try.
Jimmy this is awesome! I think the fresh wood stands out nicely with the rusted body. It'd be cool to see you hack an old truck up to be a bed. Have the back of the cab be the headboard and replace the rear window with a mirror.
Wow. That was one of Direstas best videos. Pretty epic. Dudes an amazing artist!
You do some of the coolest commission works I've ever seen.
I have to say, I had doubts about the plastic. But Jimmy works wonders - it looked legit! Nice work with the steel wool to rust it, pretty clever!
Wow that faux stamped metal turned out great! I was wondering how you were going to match the color and was amazed with how well the steel wool rust trick worked! Great work Jimmy!
That paint job looks perfect with the steal wool! Great job as usual.
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen
Lots of really cool techniques used! I do scale modelling and can really appreciate the weathering stuff. Great job!
One funny thing about this is that truck would be considered a primo restorable treasure around here (Calgary, AB). Stuff like that just rusts away into nothing in my neck of the woods.
I really enjoy your work. A+ for the Detroit shirt, and thanks for your support of Dickel! (ain't nothin better)
wow amazing work on the tailgate part it really blends in with the rest of it.
You could sure start a furniture company with a junkyard. Cool Idea. Keep them coming, Please. Thanks again.
I watch his videos when I can't fall asleep at night. So soothing and methodical I can't help but just pass out in the middle lol
Awesome Jimmy D. The work you do for Dickel is your best stuff!
that plastic does a much better job of holding the letter forms than the thin sheet metal you've used before. The whole thing looks great.
Amazing you make it look too easy! Thanks for sharing your talents
that's really cool ,ingenious way of getting the rust !
I love the random chairs at the end.
I probably enjoy the sped-up music more than I should... XD
Neat build! The funny thing the haters don't realize, is that this display could be purchased by somebody years from now and turned into truck parts again! Ingenuity!
Wow Jimmy! This was awesome! My favorite part was the treatment on the tailgate. If I hadn't watched it, I wouldn't believe that center section was plastic. Job unbelievably well done!
I remember seeing the tailgate on instagram and I never would have guessed the letters were made of plastic. Good work!
This is great...I'll definitely be planning a day trip from Nashville to check it out.
Love the old truck bed. I heard about this in the Making It Podcast episode 034, 035 and 036.
That was a neat rusting trick! I always learn something new from your videos.
knocked it out of the park again Jimmy!!!
Another great project! It is funny because when the wind blows in the right direction I can smell Ole George cooking the mash at my house... Keep up the great work and I wish you would let us know when you are down this way so I could stop by and say hello to you.
Crazy work, Jimmy! Just awesome.
I thought you were sending the name plate out to be machined. There's no way he's putting plastic on that truck. It was one hell of a transformation, thanks for the videos. Another great combo of materials and artistic vision.
Awesomeness describes this!
you rock, dude!
The master does it again. brilliant work dude.
Amazing... great work Jimmy. I love the "Fake" Stamped metal vacu-form. Awesome just awesome.
That's awesome. This is my favourites for your builds. Well done.
Looks awesome!!! When you sanded the green of the letters.....money!
Beautiful project Jimmy, the detail work and weathering on the lettering really brought his whole thing home!
Turned out lovely Jimmy. You continue to inspire me every week.
Thank you Jimmy!
Wow! At first I was bummed you stripped that truck, but by the end I saw why. That turned out great!
Awesome design, absolutely stunning. I'd have moved the tail gate further towards the (front?) shelf openings though.
outstanding job on that tailgate!!
This guy has some serious talent!
Wow. That tailgate turned out so good! I wasn't sure along the way, but man... nice work!
That turned out great! Loved the wire wool rust thing you did just made it look amazing. Thanks for another great vid!
I'd pay good money to spent a day with you in the shop while doing a project, you won't hear a word from me. Great work Jimmy! Admiration!
Nice work!! I love how you recreated the patina.
Well done! Very creative! You are multitalented!
those letters came out looking awesome!
Awesome build. I love how you combine so many different techniques in one project. Keep it up!
Can you believe there are 91 souls that did not find this entertaining.... I'm glad I'm not one of them! This is one of my favorite videos of yours. That would be at least 140 favorites now :-) Thank you Jimmy!
Great imagination with the tail gate petina. WOW!
That was awesome ! Good Job Jimmy !
Sick sick sick technique displayed here jimmy!
I was totally sure the rust trick wasn't going to work on the plastic. Don't I feel silly now!
Peter Brown if that didn't work maybe a bit of salt out of your lathe would have done the trick
butre jp deer god no more salt... or hes genius self will kill hes naughty self
Well, I think the steel wool itself rusted away, and left its rust streaks, which were later coated in a clear polyurethane spray or something to encapsulate the streaks onto the surface of the plastic. That's my guess 😀
Mathieu D
watch peter browns salt video... you will get why butre jp said that..
+Mathieu D I think he knows, he was simply referring to a video where Peter Brown used a salt block to make a bracelet, he used a Lathe to mill the bracelet from the salt block (Salt corrodes metal quickly that's why he hates using salt around his power tools) lol
I love this, it's about the 5th time I watched. Now I want my husband to make me one for our living room lol but that would mean we would have to remove a wall to get it in :) lol THIS is Awesome Diresta!
Hey look at you! Welding full beads, welding uphill.
Good man.
Magic as usual Jimmy! Keep up the brilliant work!
I hope they pay you a lot of money Jimmy because you earned it. Superb work.
This is nice Jimmy - the paint job on the tailgate is legit!
Great stuff.
Jimmy's shop is love.
Wow!! That is one of the coolest creations You have done. Damn always amazed at what Diresta will do next... Nice job man!!!
Let's play the Diresta game! What's this game about? Pretty simple. Try to count all the "diresta" signed items in the particular scene! For instance 3:35 there's Diresta on the wall, on a drawer and such. Have fun playing!
You are absolutly MAD and i love it 👍
Great build - from start to finish! Greetings from Bulgaria! :)
This is Absolutely Beautiful.
Keep doing what you're doing big bro! It's a inspiration to watch you work!! Cheers!
