Hi, my name is Kelly, I'm 37 and live in munich/germany. I've been checking out the H.A.M.B. for quite a while and thought I should go ahead and register. I like the knowledge on this board when it comes to customs and rods! I'm in old cars since I was 16, my first "real" car was a 55 Buick hdtp at the age of 18 (you can't drive legal earlier in germany... ). Since a few years now I own a 49' Lincoln Coupe (my personal RealThing) and I'll turn it step by step into a leadsled. At this time he already runs on airbags, have a tuck'n roll interieur, a rebuild engine, a new tranny, bubble skirts, some little shavings and so on.... but of course it's not ready now. A 59' Plymouth Fury is also in the house - it's the car of my wife. My latest car is a 1960 Ford f100 which I bought in my US - trip this october in pomona. Now in germany, the Ford will become a lightblue-metalflake paint job on the top and the wheels, a serious drop and a rollpan in the rear. It will be my daily during the summer month. If you want, have a look on my website www.49sled.com A few pics...
That Lincoln is beautiful and that '59 "ROCK" is way cool thanks for the pictures. I sold my '60 F100 last December, miss it allot! Also I was stationed in K-Town, Germany when I was in the Army way back in '66. Welcome
killer lincoln... hard to find over here, so i suppose they would kill over there for it... beautiful sled.....
Checking the forum after quite a while I ran into your intro and all I have to say is: was about time to join the HAMB Kelly. Great to see you here too (not that we dont meet each other daily in the office anyway...hehe) Welcome aboard
He guys - thanks a lot for your welcome! @johnnyboy:yep, the lincoln is extremly rare here in europe. I bought mine from a little museum in germany. I know three or four others ('49-'51) over here - but only from pics. A 51 coupe is somewhere in austria (museum), a 49 sedan is located in switzerland (cheaters car club) and there is a 50 convertible (!) cruising around in belgium or so.... @Silhouettes 57:you was stationed in K-Town in 66?! I have a few friends there - it's a nice little city! @LDNFAST: I see the roaddevils - link in your posting. Do you have any contact with your european chapter? There are some guys around here in germany.
