More. Pics, cruising, events.

 

Something old, something new, Something loaned, something blue...

In need of a new project a few cars were inspected.
This '65 Impala was deemed too much work...

Instead Håkan hauled home this little Buick Convertible.

Road Rockets American Car Meeting, Juthbacka

Yours truly turning in to the inspection are at the exhibition part of the meeting.

A very nice deuce Ford roadster from Pietarsaari.

Emma providing some female beauty...

I actually got a 2:nd place in the Rod and custom class!

Pistons Rumble, Vihti

The 250 mile trip to Vihti was done with Sven, along with Jope and Jukka in the Hudson.

Some cars even arrived after us.
This one was a real raw rat rod. It wouldn't had passed any safety inspection...


A cool ole flatty!                                         Not much bondo here. Look at that air cleaner :-)


A cool Buick with a real nice dash and wheel.


This was one nice A coupe!



Nice alternator placement...                                         ...on a Nail head. Hudson body. "Interesting" air cleaner.



Some 30 Rods and Customs in attendance.                                         And a real nice mid sixties Ford 20 m Hard top.



Sven thinks about possible ways to enhance this truck.                                                   A '35 Ford and an A V-8.



Two trucks of different kind.                                         '60 El Camino.



Jukka and Jope are inspecting the Dodge engine.                                         This one's cool! Nice colors too.



Take a look at that worked fire wall.                                         They seem really impressed by the Red Ram Hemi :-)


Near the end of a long day and about 500 miles...

Engine swap

A real scary looking junk yard dog was found for a fair sum...

...And mounted under the Buick valve covers.
Hope this ends the water-in-the-oil problems!
And the endless oil changes. Seven oil changes and about five oil filters since April!
