damn you guys remember more about the sickboy kit then I do. Those were probably added at one of its incarnations. Don't forget germ was our fashion model
Tman I'm not quite sure if you've noticed, but take a look at some of the cars being built across the pond. Check out Empire32's Webpage for some incredible examples. I'm always amazed what the guys overseas pull off considering the lack of tin and widespread literature. Maybe it makes them more selective? That said I still give major kudos to those without "readily" available tin, regardless if its cookie-cutter or not. I'm sure the stares and oogles at stoplights are fifty times what they are here, and that makes it that much enjoyable. -Dane
Yeah Daign, I know what they are doing over there. But to put it into perspective add up all the cars in Europe THEN add up all the hotrods!!! Those guys are tops in my book but the fact is hotrods are uncommon in daily life in most places whether it is Europe or the US.
Hehe... Thanks for kool photoshops!! Love the stance you have given it there.. Actually It was lowered,w\skirts before the "rockarbillyscenestercuffs`ncomb" paint.. Me living here in norway,really dont gives any escuse to do such terrific thing as painting my car in primer,before the summer season..! I totally agree,shiney paint are the way to go,but the car is for sale,so i dont know if its worth the amount of work for me.. We`ll see,if it wont sell,its some runningboards to be made,and maybe some new paint to be mixed..
Tman. Thanks for stepping forward for us little guys, but some things need to be said. In Norway (and Sweden) we really have a lot of old american cars. At least pr. person living here. For some particular models there are more cars alive her than in the states (I know that applies to the 55-56 Crown Victorias) But unlike Sweden, Norway has very few kustoms and rods. Comparing with France (Empire) is unfair to the french. Those guys have laws, number of cars and a lot of other stuff against them. I had a long road trip in France this summer and saw about as many old american cars (or old cars at all) as I see on a regular saturday night in my tiny hometown on the entire trip. As for the car itself; its not my thing.
