The new swede

[J-Gilmoore]

Hi
the prommissed land called sweden, thats where i lay my rubber.
trying too build some cool rides now and then. The budget is often somewhere down the clogs,(sorry for my bad english).
Beacause of that the cars isn´t allways from america. Like my girls volvo 121 in the pics. Allso got a -55 Packard but its waitin for its time.
My own ride is an old citroen b11 whit volvo engine and gear, cheap as hell.looks a bit like -33 ford but still not.The style is like this. Firestone whites,dark grey primer whit copper pearl scallops and some pinstriping.
I don´t allways build whit the "right"stuff like 97 strombergs or 39 teardrops or whatever, i take what i could get and makes it "right".

Välkommen!

Nice Amazon! Would you consider it being the first Scandinavian "muscle" car? It even looks a little (grille etc) like the first American muscle car '55 C-300 ;)

Youre right AngRi, the amazon and the 300 has a lot in common, The Volvo concern must have taken some ideas from chrysler when the first amazon came in -57.
I have by the way mounted the front bumper on the amazon now, lookes a little "heavyer" now.Will also paint a set of 14"mustang steelies in same purple as the car. Pics will come soon.
