Event Coverage PICS: A-Bombers Old Style Weekend 2011, Sweden

Looks like a great time lots of Caddys.

 

Drove 14 hours straight to get home.Stopped for gas only. It rained for at least 12 of those hours. I enjoyed every minute of it. Proves that a model A coupe works fine for long trips .

 

thanks....

 

Model A is definitively built for long trips, however 14 hours is impressive Glad it went well.

 

I can't wait for next year. This event IS something else.
Has to be experienced.
Me and CuznBrucie went on the virgin trip down there in my roadster this year. The grin on my face is still stuck.

My friend Martin Flink aka "FlatheadRoadster" on here has some more pics on his cool blog.
Worth checking out for you into old style cars and bikes.

Wow! Amazing pics and quality of cars. I think I just added something to my bucket list!

 

This is by far the best looking chopped 51 mercury!!!! That roof flows so good!! TinWolf RULES!!!!

 

The swedes really have it together with their rides and the whole custom/hotrod scene. Got to visit this Valhalla of customs!

 

Wow!!! These guys know what time it is !!!! Stance,Stainless around the windows!!!!!! I want to go bad! These pictures are very impressive,great Customs,HotRods and original classics.I cant believe how many customs had the correct stance.I dont do many shows but this one looks amazing and I wish it was a whole lot closer.

These guys have been rocking it like this for like 20 yrs. TinWolf chopped this in the spring of 1993. Ive known about this car since 1998. Always been blown away with the guys on the other side of the pond. They keep it real! LOL!!! Ive talked with a lot of guys from over there and they say that the car mags they got were old one and thought thats how cars where built.So they built them like that. They KICK ASS over there!!

 

F@#KIN A RIGHT!!!! I want to go to that show.

 

It wouls be sick as hell to go and take our cars. Travel across Europe in customs. What a dream!!

 

Does anyone know the big and little tire size on this Banger??
This is exactly what I need to run!

 

Looks like a great show with a fantastic atmosphere.

 

Wow!...........nice cars.........I dont think there was one tacky car in the bunch .....outstanding!

 

Wonderful thread. I just hope I get to attend one day. This coupe is still my all time favorite. Gary

 

Great pics.
Thanks.

Can anyone tell me anything about the blower on this model A.
Air pump?

 

My ol' '46 panel truck got a new paintjob..Kool. Has been the same since i built in around 2001!!

 

Love all of the traditional builds!

 

just a pic from last year,it ran very smooth and quiet

 

It's my friend "Esso" here on the HAMB that owns that cool banger. Try and send him a PM and ask.

 

Ilook forward to coverage of this event every year! These F'ers just get it.

 

I reckon it should be high on the agenda for a club run out Deano, start saving.

Thanks to everyone for posting some superb photos, world class event without a doubt.One day I'll get there, one day!

 

Now I know where I'll be building my first hot rod.

This is just amazing

 

I love it when the pics of this show come out every year..

 

Some of the best cars in the world! Awesome pics!!! I cant wait to go to this show some year.

 

Fantastic show!

 

Ha ha... don't believe everything you hear... Old mags only? No import of
magazines since 1953? Yeah right!

On behalf of the A-Bombers we thank you for your kind words and also thank
the great photographers that helps us to see how it looked like on the weekend.
We miss watching so many cool cars and bikes when the event is on. We are
only 4 people organising the event and have been the same since 1996. So our
hands are full. I'm glad I got both my cars running for this years event. Only a
couple of weeks earlier my Merc had no engine and the roadster engine was in
parts. Virgin trip with the roadster and the new 296 cui engine.

 

I always look forward to this show thread and this year is cool as ever. Damn folks, take a look and some cues here on buildin some classic rods and cutoms. However I must point out that the way bad ass #999 roadster seems to be equipped with a high zoot sunglass holder! Thanx for the excellent coverage, Radio King, sorry you were not able to get the sweet coupe to the event. ~sololobo~
