After being a member here for a while, I finally decided to introduce myself :)
I am 29 and I live in Gothenburg, on Sweden's west coast. My motor interest started with Brit bikes and I bought a '63 Beesa in '96 and turned it into a cafe racer. Then in '99 I caught the hot rod bug on a then very small "Old Style Weekend". I guess the hill climb they run is pretty well known by now.
Anyway, I started building a '28 roadster which is almost finished (will a hot rod ever be finished ;)). Here's how it looks like now:

Very traditional style, I aimed for the mid-late 30's look. That means no '39 teardrop taillights, no Ford V8 and NO Ford juice brakes.... I guess it makes the car quite ordinary but uncommon at the same time.
Have a nice day, Jonas
