Here's one. It's a HAMBrs, can't remember who tho.

 

Here's one!

 

One of a Greazy Hubcapz

 

I got some stuff on the "Metric Side" of my web site: ClassicRoad.com Volvo Page

 

Man I've always dug the B18's. Thought they would make a cool kustom. I can't wait to see it. Please do the before and afters'

 

isn't a B18 the 1800 cc motor?

are you refering to the 122, 544 or 445?

or the P1800S?

 

Yes. B18 is an engine, not a car...
I guess you mean the Volvo 122,e named Amazon here in their home country. Good daily driver, but 4/5 scale compared to the real steel. I´ve had a few Volvos, both PV444, 544 and Amazons, they used to be cheap wheels here, I did not waste my time on them, just drove and sold.
And a 1,8 litre 4-cyl engine (112 cui I guess...), not my stuff. Though, I must say that Roger Lundén´s former Volvo Amazon, the dark green one on the pics, (its shown with along its new younger owner...) is an OK car. Roger used to drive it during the winters and a chopped 51 Chevy during the summers. The car at Paso, if that was many years ago, might have been Micke Wallin´s Amazon. It was covered in Tex Smiths Custom Cars vol 2 #2 1990 (and in a feww Swedish mags as well). From what I´ve heard it ended up cut in half to be a wallhanger, destroyed in a flod.

 

Im still learning about the car as I go...Its like the one link posted...Sorta
shoe box style...My wife is getting it for free it's got a new motor..needs
paint and interior...My wife is stoked and so am I ...Im going to show her
the Hot Rod Ropes.....B1800 I guess theres a few models..

There was a black one at paso it was perfect...I just cant find the picture...

Thanks for your help...
and I willl post B4 and After shots,,,

Evel,
You know theres that guy on lincoln that turned his volvo into a pickup truck s-10 style, Its yellow and blue or somthing like that.
also did you get my PM's?

 

Janne... thats sounds like another Swede. You know the rules here: Proper introduction is a must!
That PV cpe by the way was first built by an old friend of mine, Allan Bergman. Now owned by Erik Henriksson in Hudiksvall. Customs of Sweden members of course...

 

Evel,

I used to own a stock 1967 Volvo 122s. It was a great car! I drove it from San Diego to Chicago. The b18 is a stout little motor and just about all the parts for old Volvos are still available since Volvo still made the parts up until a few years ago. I don't have all my old Volvo links any more, but if you have any questions I can try to help.

I am from Finland, I will put my intro later maybe with some pics from my projects. I think Erik´s PV is nicest PV coupe conversation there is, though i haven´t seen that live, only pictures in old Swedish magazines.

Now that must be Janne Kutja! Right? Welcome!!!
Im Per Webb, of Customs of Sweden.

I have Primer # 7 (got it from the Wizzz) I really like your drawings of Wolf´s Merc, Gustav´s Buick and Mano´s Kaiser. And you got some nice projects as well. Sorry that I dont understand a single word in Finnish, but I like the pics. And that magazine had the good taste to feature our event as well!

 

Same guy.
BTW. Kaiser in Primer magazine isn´t Manos Kaiser, it has some minor differences.

 

This one was built by a friend of mine.
but he has moved on and built a Ford now
check this one on www.heavy.nu


And now to the Volvo.

 

holly shit that thing has a lot of work put into it

 

Soooo, how about Volvo 142 Kustom? Here is concept I did last spring:

 

"Pro Touring" Wagon with a turbo 5 cylinder.

 

Some Volvo customs I took when visiting Sweden in 1982

Sectioned and chopped Duett

 

Is this a chick with her norks out or Iggy Pop's back?

 

shit! i just sent a running 65' 122 to the GRINDER because nobody wanted it for $200 bucks, even had a title!

 

that thing is awesome.. we saw it at SEMA last year.. looked like a hell of a lot of fun.
