hi everyone!
my name is Aleksei, me & my friend Dmitry (li****) try to build a customs & hot rods in Moscow, Russia
rod'n'custom culture is not popular in Russia, althought some people called their cars a "hot rod", but they just got a cool word & bad car, other people buy their cars in United States and called themselves a "hot rodder" just because they got a rod
i think its not right because to be a rodder you must understand that culture, feel it..
so we haven't any people, who can built some project, that may be called "true" or just "good" & try to do it ourselves

 

Welcome from Oklahoma, USA. It must be hard to be a hot rodder in your country. Don't be too tough on the ones that can only buy hot rods instead of building them. They may not have the ability to build them. Send us some pictures of your vehicles.

 

Welcome from Virginia, USA.

 

thanks guys for welcome
at now we got a 3 serious projects

1st (we started from) named "гнiда" (gneeda)
body-1937 gaz m1 (russian edition of ford B)
frame-full custom
suicide front end (superbells i-beam with 4" drop)
engine-351 from 1972 ford gran torino

 

2nd named 21sled

body-1961 gaz m21
it havent a frame, so that's why not so easy to notch it, but we did it)
we shave some body elements, but not too much, shave the dashboard, c-notch & build a custom fuel tank

its too raw: the body works is not finished, engine is not installed & its not so low as it must be

 

3rd named "La Bomba el Bombón"

body-1953 gaz m20 "pobeda" (something like a 47 chevy flleetline, but much easier)
its havent frame too, so we build a c-notch & new front spars with 20cm drop

 

welcome from Canada...Cool stuff you have

 

thanks)

 

so, what you think about our works?

 

Looks like you got your **** together. Good luck and welcome from Michigan.

 

Welcome and cool car, the taillights are cool!

 

"I can see Russia from my house".Ha !....Welcome from Alaska

 

thanks, we try to use a many years of US rodders experience, without you, guys, this culture would not exist

thank you, i like this taillights too much, it's from first series of m21, one time i think about shaving, cause after me many people, who build m21, did the same thing (shave the trunk & install this taillights), but in the end i leave it as it is

it's a pity that i can't see Alaska from my, otherwise we could to communicate by light signals)
thanks!
