  • I meet Jessi Combs April 2019. That June she came to spend the weekend with Taylor and I to get to know what UA-cam was all about.
    She was thinking about working on her channel and developing her own content around fabrication and racing.
    She passed away doing what she loved in August 27, 2019
    This Frame with the picture will be auctioned off March 16 2020 to raise money for her foundation "The Jessi Combs Foundation.”

    Jessi was my favorite part of Mythbusters while she was on the show. And then later on when she was on Extreme 4x4. She was such a fierce lady and she was gone too soon. Great tribute to her. I think the photo is perfect.

    The videos I love most is when you do something that makes me go "no no no, don't do that, it'll ruin it!" And then you come back and do something totally awesome on top of that thing that makes it look amazing. I was really worried about that leather strap for a bit. 😁

    From Mythbusters to Overhaulin', Jessi Combs was a force of nature. She was not just a token female or a pretty face, I loved that she spoke with authority from experience. Wonderful tribute, Jimmy, blessings.

    There is a reason most people consider you to be a LEGEND.....i am in AWE every time i either stumble across something i have never seen before, or something new like this. It is a shame that we lost Jessi....but there is no other MAKER that could have honored her like you...

    I meet Jessi at a show in 2006 and was impressed by her down to earth attitude and genuineness. It sucks she left this world far too soon but I glad that when she did she was doing something she wanted to be doing.

    A fitting epic tribute build for an epic Woman. So creative in the design and final finish with a perfect shot of her...no words; just something I don't attribute to anyone very often, Mr. D. you are a man of Stature as she was a Woman of Stature! Slight nod and Hat Tip to you and her. Thank You!

    Awesome Job Jimmy, Jessi was all that and a cheeseburger too when it came to, customization cars and engines. I followed her career from day 1, she was so knowledgeable, finished at the top of her class in automotive, she was fearless and had a big warm personality. The old school, steam punk frame and style is a great way to pay homage to a great person who is sadly missed by many. You certainly captured Jessi's style in your work, so appropriate. I know she is looking down, smiling and proud. 👍👍👍❤❤

  • @jlarts
    @jlarts 4 роки тому +1

    All I know about Jessi is what you shared with us about her and yet I can't help feeling really sad that she is gone. I like to think that not only did she go doing what she loved but that thanks to you her legend lives on.
    That beautiful project is proof of it. Thank you Jimmy!

    I think I was a little bit in love with her all this time.
