An early Case which has been rebodied

Here is a photo of Jimmy Hervaton's fabricated double-headed Yoder copy. It's one fine piece of work, and he has done some good metalshaping with it. Jimmy's business is named Precision Metalcraft in Warrenton, MO, and he's in the process of building a custom-bodied roadster for himself that may become an Oakland winner some day! I'll attach a photo of his machine and of an early Case automobile he almost totally rebodied using his hammer. Jimmy did fill the column with sand to help deaden the machine, and it is resting on the floor on large rubber pads, one on each corner of the square pedestal base! He seems very happy with the operation of the machine.
