Hello I've been on here for some time now so I guess it's time to introduce myself. I'm a 29 year old and I live in Sweden where I works as a technical consultant at that company that makes verey safe (and boring) cars. I'm mostly into 40's-styled hot rods. Dry lakes styled bare boned cars really does it for me, but I'm starting to really enjoy 60-styled rods as well. Early drag racing styled cars and g***ers are right down my alley too. As for customs I mostly enjoy the earlier styled ones, like the Hirohata and Matranga Mercs. So obviously my taste is pretty broad. I got three hot rod projects (well actually four but one of them is in gl*** so I can't count that). The first is a 31 Model A coupe. This one will be a 40's styled hi-boy with a flat eight. The second is a 27 Model T roadster. The plan is to build it as a dry lakes car with streamlined nose and a bellypan. This one will ha a souped up Model b 4-banger. The third is a 30 Model A Tudor that has been converted to a Pickup. This will be in 60's style and running a Buick Nailhead with manual trans. Torq thrust with white wall slicks in the rear and chrome revers up front is tha plan. The coupe is ***ambled but the T27 and the pickup is just in a pile of parts so I got som work to do. Regards, Magnus
I have no current pics of the coupe but this is what it looked like newyears eve 2004. The T27 pic is from the day I got it home... Kind of bare I have no pics of the pickup. //Magnus
Aloha neighbour! Sweet rides.. Looking forward to see some more pics in the progress.. Sounds like your Pickup will be really mean. Like it! Btw, didn`t you have a mean VW a while ago? Maybe im thinking of someone else , but Welcome!
Welcome Bro', y'all from that part of the world amaze me. How you can even find parts and such is awesome, albeit easier now with the internet. Anyhow, Got a tremendous amount of respect for our hot rod bro's from that part of the world. DW
