Well it looks kind of like the Bride of Frankenstein right now but,"IT'S ALIVE". LOL Heres a pic(I hope it isn't too small,I've never mastered the attachment thing really ) and a link to a few more for anyone who might be interested in something a little different. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v312/yobaby/Volvo%20Gasser/
different isn't always a good thing... but in this case it is. I love it! Its a little crude... a little rude... but full of attitude! (pssst... HAMB Drags)
Saw a picture of one of those rodded, years ago. Looked kinda' like a bitchin' little pocket 40 Ford sedan. What is it, a 57? ***************** Out of step, & proud of it!!!
"CRUDE" certainly fits.LMAO I forgot to include a pic of the rude aspect though.Here it is. As for mechanics,right now it's a flat top 350 street motor with infestors and alchy with a glide and a 57 Pont. rear with 488's. When I can get it to quit jumping around in high gear I'll add the glow in the dark 387cid motor. I've been trying to think of a name for it and can't settle on anything at the moment. I know I'm gonna regret this but..... Any suggestions?
You know us well... BTW... rude and crude were meant with admiration... not disrespect! I'll put on my thinking diaper and let you know if I fill it...
are'nt Volvos Swedish??? if so i think "Brooding Swede" would be a killer name for a car like that. i know there is a HAMBer with that name but for some reason that name popped into my head when i saw that car. i think it could fit... unless Volvos ARE'NT Swedish afterall. in that case just disregard this comment.
The Vulva. Man I dig that. It looks like it was stored in a barn for 38 years. Just needs some no-name garage lettered on the doors.
I like it, I like it alot. Only thing, lose the whitewalls and put some TINY tires up front (135-75-15), prime it dark grey too, put in some colored plex windows while your at it. A big chrome tube bumper on the back, maybe a more narrowed front axle..... Well, I lied, but it IS cool!
One thought I had was "Scrap Iron" in Swedish "Skrote Jarn" or was it "Skroat Jarn",That would have 'em scratchin' their heads. "Second Hand Rose" Seeing as how most of it is scrounged used stuff. "Low $udget" cause it was relatively inexpensive to build. "The Pile" because it is.LOL I met a German gal at the track and she suggested a German name "Skroat Machinine"(Scrap Machine). I had more but can't recall at the moment.(Early onset alzheimers)
Sure. Now that it's in your head, every time you see the car you're gonna think Vulva and smile to yourself. May as well name it now...
I must say I like it!! It looks like it would be fun to take it out on a saturday night and raise some hell. How about "Rude & Crude" Congrats and nice job!!
I was off googling "pink Swedish vulva" (quite a coincidence) and end up back here at the HAMB. That is a great car, but not the Swedish vulva I looking for...
That thing is cool. It's screamin' for a Herrera & Sons inspired lace job. I agree with hoof, a light blue, with some royal blue lace/stripes.
hey YO BABY, i was wondering where you have been... the volvo idea turned into reality! im with JEEM, colored plexi would be bitchin. you dun good man!
One more vote for the Swedish Meatball. Looks like you don't even need a fuel pump. Gravity feed right into the carbs, like a motorcycle. Cool.
I was wonderin' where the fuck you been... I can't believe you pulled that motor outta your '32 3W to put in this monstrocity... So now what's gonna become of the 3W?...
Hey Mike,How ya doin'? It took a little longer than expected to get on it and like I said it ain't pretty but it is alive. Is the coupe alive yet? I obviously need to work on those photo skills so them carbs will look more like injectors. Does ayone out there know how to say "Meat Ball?(Meatball?)"in Swedish?
It's okay I have more bullets just no space or time to work.LOL As to what's become of the 32 this is gonna freak you out. Maybe pics will best answer your second question.
