It's great to hear of your exploits, as well as viewing your excellent and impressive skills as an auto craftsman. Awesome work on the 5 window coupe. I especially enjoyed your thread on the P51 roadster. Is that it still in your garage, or did you let it go? By the way, I have a neice (Rachel Romatz Palmer) who lives and teaches school in Billund? , Denmark. She has been there for 5 years or so. Her husband is Donnie Palmer, and they have 3 teens.

Thank You Sirs !!! Last Friday I drove roaster on trailer. I and Oskar drive up to Tornio (Fin) >< Haparanda (Swe) 450km. There was big car meeting. +1000 cars american car meeting. They choose TOP 10 cars. We got throphy! Same trip we visit Kalajoki Beach (Im originally from there) and my visit my fathers place (Birth 1939) and have good time with him. That was nice 2days father&son vacation. Good food, hotel, travelling, cruising Saturday evening in Haparanda centrum, car meeting,.... Aulis NB. Today arrived new Harman Collins magneto coil from Huntington Beach CA (Cirello magnetos).
Hello Sunday morning when write this. Last night we arrived back home. 5.30 morning we started from my place. Tarmo, my friend, drive my F-150 pick up and I drive roadster. +300km to Big Wheels car meeting. Morning was nice to drive, not too hot. Later evening it was more hot, but we arrived home before midnight. 100-110km/h (approx. 65mph) was good travelling speed and enjoy roads between lakes and little up and down..... That was important for me that Tarmo helped me and I had chance to enjoy driving hot rod. Normally my hot rod driving is more here in the city area, when pick up stuff from wholesale and carry to our coffee/Ice-cream trailer in market area. Very much cars, maybe too much. We queue 1.5hours to get in.... We have here warm period... too hot for man who lives here in North.... I had one pop up canopy , that helps alot. Now not time to built hot rods. I paid FIA/FHRA drag race lisence and made registeration to Kalajoki drag racing Finnish Championship competition nr.3. Its from 1st to 3rd of August. Kalajoki beach is place where I lived after CA years and also when I was Young. We need to install extra airbags in my pick up rear axle, we need to remove GS buick exhaust tubes, change 28 x 10.5 -15 slicks under car,... and many many things. Crew Chief Oskar and his 14y - 15y old friends are my mechanics there..... "New Generation". TOP 5 trophy. Aulis
Is there anything that you can not do, or attempt to do? Your talent and skill seem endless. You have more patience than anyone that I know. Congratulations. You don't seem to let anything stop you. It may slow you down for a while, but you seem to think and solve your problems.
Thank You Sirs. Nothing special, just interested in try and spend time with cars. Good that have inspiration and "picture"/visio what car will look after built. That helps very much. I still have so much ideas, maybe built more hot rods. Next I want to built custom or my 1955 cameo carrier. OK that car will be more like original with few custom tricks. Custom can be anything from 1940 mercury/ford to early 60´s coupe (caddy, buick.....) We still have very warm weather here. I drive daily this 5w coupe and try to learn her "philosophy". Thank You everybody ! Aulis
