    Very impressive, you do beautiful work! I see a lot of great cars coming from your country.
    Please pay no attention to the crude comment posted about my land though, there are a LOT of great craftsman here as well.
    Keep up the good work.

    Great job on the roadster pick up! And your english spelling I am sure is way better than my swedish! ;) As soon as I saw the small scoop I knew you had to know Lazze, he is a great teacher I have known him for a few years now, a real nice guy.

    I hope to be starting my hand built roadster pick up very soon. I need to do a full shop remodel so I can fit all my equipment and still have room for my chassis table so I can work.

    Also I dig bagged vehicles even if it is not "traditional", keep up the great work!

    air suspension if i'm not mistaken, like a reverse of a rear setup with bag over trailing arm

    Ahh, thanks. See, told you it was a dumb question! :)

    Since the pivot points of those bars and the bones are not concentric, is there any concern of suspension bind with this setup? Or is the travel too small for this to be an issue?

    again not speaking for the OP but i'd think travel would be too small for any bind or really any type of air setup in the front... the bag inflation would increase ride height so much for a rod with a solid axle. That's why i've only ever seen em in the rear but hey to each his own!

    The shackle eliminates the bind from having different arcs.

    So here is the air bag construction.
    I know most people here don´t like the ide' of using bags (and I´m not a big fan mysellf) but the thing is that Cadillac hade bags as an option 1959 so you can´t call is a "modern thing".

    Like you can se on the picture the bag is "standing" on a 1 3/4" x 1/4" thick pipe with shackle in the front (so the axle can move up and down)
    And in the back I used a soft bearing to avoid tensions.

    The smallest bags I could find was FBI's Slam.
    They measure 5" in diameter.

    Did you make these panels or were they purchased? If purchased, can you point me in the right direction. Thanks!

    Hi Urban.
    I like the neat roll you put in the top of the dash to work with the Hallock screen.I'll have to do something similar myself.
    Keep the updates coming,
    Mark.

    Rear axle[​IMG]

    The rear axle.
    What can I say... '56 ford, dusty as hell haha.
    Pete and Jake shocks, Air Lift bags (lifts like 8"!!!)
    The breake lines was a bitch.
    The funny thing is that I just figured out how to do them in the front haha:D

    As soon as I get home (next friday) I´m going to take picture of them.
    The only thing I can say is that the wishbone is part of the construction :rolleyes:

    Hi 510madmav<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_4929200", true); </SCRIPT>
    It's from http://www.brookvilleroadster.com/
    Most stuff I bought from them have been realy good, but if you might need a bead roller for some parts.

    Nice picture by the way haha.

    Good luck

    The headlight/shock mount is from a 48-52 ford F1 truck, it would have been easier to make complete new ones insted of rebuilding the old ones.

    I found a taillight... finnaly!
    It´s a 40th Vincent motorcycle taillight, wish it wasn´t aftermarket but right now I'm starting to panic a little bit, it's only 3 weeks left untill the show and I still don't have all the parts.

    [​IMG]

    Time to paint the steering wheel.
    Like I wrote earlier, the mid pice is '56 ford and the "ring" is europeen ford taunus welded together.

    [​IMG]

    After I grinded down the bondo I rattle-can sprayed it with a filler and wet-sanded it

    [​IMG]

    I'm allways supriced how glossy it gets even if it's just a garage pain job.
    Some day I hope I could have my own spray booth.

    The thing I like about HAMB is that people here build there own stuff, it proves that you dont need a lot of money to build a top notch Hot Rod or Kustom.

    [​IMG]

    Yeah, that's the perfect place for the HAMB alliance tag.
     
  30. Nice build!
    Really looking forward to more of the updates!
    Gotta love all the details you are making for it. Will surely be keeping an eye for it during the upcoming season here in Sweden!
    Keep up the good work.


    PS: Don't want to sound like a besserwisser but I'm sure that the middle part of the steering wheel you are using is from a 49 Ford Shoebox. Nevertheless, fantastic work!
