    If Kurt had one of these cool 2CVs, he would have scored with Suzanne Somers for sure!

    Nice! great work
     

  19. Yup, and Budd built bodies for Dodge and a few others.

    I've always loved the 2CV- cute little car, but my most vivid memory of one is from a family trip to Germany. We were stuck in a jam on the Autobahn which turned out to be a 25+ car pile up. On of the cars in the middle was a 2CV that was crunched from front and back- looked like a skinny triangle... and they couldn't get the doors open to get what was lef of the driver out.

    Cool very nice .It is amazing getting them to sit at the right stance how it changes the look of the car......Question Did you widen the front door......
     
  23. There's a rodded Traction Avant getting around...in Indonesia! I can't find the picture of it, but it looks right! It's good to see this old car sickness spreading over the globe!
     
  24. I'm visioning grafting in an Aerostream trailer for a more refined look.
    This is definitely a euro-style jalopy...very cool.

    Hey, I just found this topic. I'm glad that you like my work. I didn't have time
    to do more photoshops lately. But one of them I build for real.

    Its styled to be like very first 2cv's from 49-50. Wheels are 16x7.00 and
    17x4.50. Top chop is 2-3" and channeling 2". Front axle is moved 12"
    forwards. Its hard to my list of all modifications because almost everything
    is changed, so I also add photo of the original one.
