    Now it will take around 2 weeks before we can do someting with it again. Cause Mr Tourch (Kimmen) is leaving for work in Norway for 12 days.

    Hope u can wait untill then? It's like 2-3 hours job before its flip-able....:-/

    well at least we got the upside down pictures! looks as if your gonna have to lift the rear a bit, youll have too much of a backwards rake
     

  10. The rear end is just laying on the frame at those pics. It will go up a couple of inches and the other tires is about 5-6 inches wider.
     

  11. And why is that so?

    realy want to see that old ford to run,butt whitout monye?
    need a motor?
     

  13. We already have a 350 with an old hi riser intake and a Predator carb and a 3 speed that will be mounted in it as soon as we flip it over...:)
     
  14. If im not wrong we have meet a couple of times during CKOS event. In the year 2000 me and my friends went to Hallstahammar in my grey 1950 /51 Chevy convertible. We also meet at CKOS årsmöte at SMF Västerås and also with Håkan Andersson...
     
  15. Well keep plugging away at it, winter has just started, we got plenty of time to wait.
     

  16. Sounds great. As soon as something happens there will be pics at Hamb first...:-}

    from winder, ga

    i dig the gasser look and the cheap build wish i could find something like that around here in the U S its slim pickens around here so many old cars gone to the crusher
     
  21. Something cool got to be there somewhere? Try and ask around and maybe something small and cool will turn up. Why not lock after old Ramblers, Nashes or Hudsons? Or maybe some old Austin?? Got to be someting out there!!

    Why not build on some of your pickups? The Dodge was kind of a cool model!!
     
  22. Kimmen did the last welding on the Escort rearend and flipped it right again. Looks to be a little low in the rear right now (like Taildragger) but we will try to fix that tomorrow. Cant expect so much when we built it upside down....:)

    Here is a peak. What u think so far??

    Hey Dave,
    About the stop sign, that kind of stop signs were exchange back in the 60s to a other kind of signs, so thats not a sign in use no more:)
