Hello guys and gals! Been lurking for some time(hope u dont mind) and decided to put some words on this forum so here I am... My name is Filip and 25 years of life are behind me. Studied mechanical engineering and currently I am between jobs. I come from a small country on mediterranean sea, Croatia, used to be part of former Yugoslavia. If interested u can google it and see what its all about I fell in love with hot rod culture when i first saw American Grafitti in early 90's, that yellow was the coolest car I have ever seen Well, my wish is 30-31 5w model A done traditional way, 50's, early 60's style. Concidering where I come from that will be a long and expensive trip, since parts and hot rods are none existing here, will have to import every nut and bolt and I will probably have a first hot rod in my country. But I will do my best to be that 1st one and hopefully You guys can help me with my future questions, problems etc. Tnx for letting me ramble on and hope to receive some response!
Welcome fellow European We have a lot of model A hotrods here in Sweden , maybe its easyer to import from here for you.
Welcome- Love your country...spent some time in Split back in 97'. Wouldn't trade that trip for anything!
Hi Mate.it can be a worrying ordeal buying parts from over seas so if ya need a guy on the ground to organise parts out in Australia . let me know and ill give ya a hand.
