Looks like that car started life as an F-104 Starfighter ...

Terribly sad as she was a bad-azz racer and did a lot for women and girls in motor sports. May Jesus Bless her soul and comfort her loved ones.

Very sad. She was smart, funny, fearless and adorable. She'll be missed, RIP.

Sometimes we are called on to do something for someone else. That thing isn’t something that we need or really want to to do. But we without a doubt have to do it with all our heart. This was definitely one of those things.
Hanging out with Jessi a year ago, and filming some shows for Discovery. I never thought she would be overwhelming my thoughts and heart like she has for the last couple weeks. Without a doubt this is the emotionally hardest piece of metal I have ever had to shape. Not because of the skills or labor involved. It because of what it is and what it symbolizes, and who’s ashes it will hold forever. I had no plan, no patterns, no design ideas. I simply cut a circle of copper and started hammering. I let the metal dictate what it wanted to be. Thinking about her every step of the way and what she would like, and what she would think about it. Hoping I gave it the right amount of love, blood, sweat and tears.
Thank you Terry for the honor of letting me do this. I hope in some way it makes your pain a little lighter.

Not a big fan of Jesse James, but that was a beautiful sentiment and very well stated.
