    WOW it's about time someone with imagination and talent besides Boyd builds a rod different than no other . Yea say what you want guys but Boyd stepped up to designing cars his way, like this guy. Good job I like the slight body design changes made on this truck.

    That is totally awesome work!! You are very talented!! I can't wait to see the completed pictures, and hope you continue to build after you finish this project. I am sure you have a lot of time and money into it, but you are doing something that most other could never do!!

    Good for you and keep up the great work!!! Keep the pictures coming!!

    Extremely nice craftsmanship. For you to get the kind of praise you are getting on a forum that normally likes more traditionally built/styled cars shows how we respect good workmanship when we see it, regardless of the final form. I "get" that you did this particular truck as a design/fabrication exercise to showcase your shops work, and I think you have accomplished that goal.

    A lot of your countrymen seem to share the same kinds of skills you have, from some of the other projects we have seen in the past. You must have a lengthy apprentice program where you hone these skills under the guidance of some very talented teachers.

    Wow! So this means we here in the States might be able to buy a complete rod for a really reasonable price at IKEA before too long! Of course, you would still have to put it together yourself, like everything else from IKEA...

    LOL, I'm just ribbing ya, man. You, sir, are one TALENTED Swedish dude. Like, a MILLION times more talented than that chef on the Muppets, and HE was relatively famous, so you're going to go VERY far!

    On the down-side, you've accomplished THIS at the age of 20, so we're all going to have pretty high expectations of you over the coming years. I don't think you'll let anyone down though. Simply amazing.

    Can't let this thread get buried back on page 23. Just too damn impressive. On the other side of things, I personally wouldn't want that much talent. As it is, I look at an old 1961 Jag E-type and think, "Damn, I'd love to own that car someday..." If I had talent like that, the awe would go away, because I would be saying "How much? Fuck that. I can make my OWN E-type out of aluminum... I'll do it next week."

    I don't want to make light of your spelling, as I know English is a hard language to learn, but I had to smile when I read that "the body is close to finnish", since Sweden borders Finland.

    REALLY NICE WORK!! I'm three times your age, and have less than a third of your skills. I'm so jealous.
