damn, thats a cool -54. are you goin to A-bombers old style weekend 30-31 July this year ? Vila i Frid..
Im so sorry for your loss, What an awesome way to honor your brothers life...Great work i bet your brother is proud!
Good job man! Sorry for your loss, if there is any way to make dealing with it easier, you figured out what it is.. Im sure he's stoked and keeping an eye on ya oh, and you might want to think about flipping the plate with his initials over, when your under the car it's gonna be backwards..
Hey JP. Love the Avatar. You do know who it is, don't you? Sorry to hijack. I love the work you guys have done on the 54...and I love the idea behind it even more Pete
R.I.P. E. K., really a wonderful way to keep the brother love going. That baby is ridin low and the bro would be proud. Keep the "diamond" shining! ~Sololobo~
Thanks, It´s been a good way to handle the grief by using our hands to create something that he would have liked. And we can keep the car forever as a memorial! And we can drive it and have fun in it just like he would have done!! Play good music, drink good beer and feel that he still is here with us in someway! I don´t know yet, we were there -08 and it was great. And we want to go there again! But I have 620miles (1000km) to get there, so its really all about time and money! I have already flipped it once because i thougt it was the wrong way. But it depends on wich side (left or right) you look from!
Update! Nothing big have happened, mostly we have built/repaired bodymounts on both the frame and body. They were very rusty and the outer front bodybraces were to low. Sneekpeek on the new interior, next step is to make the backseat to fit again.. /Johan
Update! The car has now been SFRO inspected and to explain what SFRO is: Here in Sweden we have inspection every year on newer cars, cars older than 30 years have inspection every two years. And cars made before 1950 dont have to be inspected. But modified cars dont p*** inspection whithout a SFRO inspection. SFRO is an organisiation that inspects modifiedcars and homebuiltcars. They are experts on this and works with you not against you, the are helpful under the build and you can call and ask "how to" questions! SFRO inspections usally is in two steps, buildinspection and finishinspection. We have now done the build inspection and the chevy p***ed with no remarks! So next step is dis***emble the car for painting, floor, frame, suspensionparts etc.. /Johan
Wow.. LOVE the stovebolt and the color... Dang.. I think the only way you could get that ride any lower is to bury it! Very nice.. great job.
