Hi Guys frank from the Netherlands here, aswel i see there is more dutchys On my yearly SoCal pelgrimage i like to find nice cars and take them home to restore. I finished ( do you ever) my 64 elky it looks time period but does pack some muscle. ( all relative) The goal was 60's look with high profile tires and wood/leather details. The project im on now is a 1949 pontiac 2 door streamliner im building it towards a deralict theme, but with stuff available in Europe. So i picked a 400HP supercharged jag as donor ( they are dirt cheap here) This year im leaning toward a nice rod that does not need much as i have enopugh projects. but something good has to come along! anyhow i have been lurking and figured lets sing up! Dont need much now but ill update on 49 soon.
