    Those taillights make the back look super clean. That front end treatment is one of the nicest i've ever seen!

    Whoaw... I've allways liked Pekkas car the way it was mildly customized with the fabolous paint job... but now it has really turned out like a killer kustom that could have been taken straight from the cover of a late 50's rod & custom magazine. I love the way the packard taillights fullfills the rear fender lines. Hope to see your car around the upcoming summer.

    Klaus my man! Good to hear from you! Betcha I'm gonna haul that piece of lead over to A-Bombs, unless I collide it during the spring activites as I did last year... Send my love to Cindy!

    And by the way superflye, them rear lites comes from Kaiser, thanks Mano from those!

    Drove the car back home from Kartsas garage and wasn't I shaken from exitement! Next step is a bored 292, auto, bags etc. Loads of stuff to do before next spring. Thanks Kartsa.

    I have never had the fortune too meet any of those Finlandian kuztomizers in person ( unless I was tooo drunk to remember ?? ) , But they sure impress me BIG TIME!!! They sure know their shit :) ... This great art-work by Janne is ( hopefully ? ) telling us what this neat Pontiac will look like in the near future
    :)
    ( Btw .. The owner is a well known pinstriper over here in Europe , and that Pontiac was among the finest BEFORE he decided it needed a total make over ... When those guys are finished with it , it will probably be THE finest among kuztoms built with the `55-`62 erea in mind .... IMHO , that is )

    This car is proof that a car does not have to be chopped in order to make a great custom.

    Thanks for the nice words and especially Janne for the grand pic. You reckon I have to repaint the car? No scallops? Was it chopped in your pic?... Anyway, this baby is a no ride for this summer, front clip is just on its way but too much to do with dozens of other things. We'll finnish it up next winter with Ari Sinkkonen. Here's a pic of its present state...
