    Hello!

    was a while since last update :/ has been sick all week, but i got some stuff done and got the chance to buy some fun stuff :)

    the front window o repaird and in place, found a kool box to have on the rear bumber.

    i also bought me a body to the other frame. it was in bad shape but a good price. chopped 6" and lowered over the frame.

    so have a look at the pics now:)

    I'm also look ing for a front window frame for '29, chopped or not.
    left upper corner and down, and over left passenger window.
    the body is in bad shape there.

    just send me a PM if u got it or knows where to buy :)

    hey hamber's!

    sorry for not posting any updates lately.
    I totaly forgot it, but i didn't stop working on the car.

    as i told u before i bought a new body to build a second rod.
    it was in bad shape(look at the pics).

    so i started to repair it and also rework all things somebody had done before:D
    I have repaired both doors, the cowl, firewall and the piece over the front window.

    yesterday i started with the panels over the drivers door. I bought an old in good shape, but it was for a 30/31. see how it went in the pictures.
    I know you can buy new metal parts but i think it's pretty expensive and a lot more fun to craft it myself. if it turns out like crap then i will buy it :D

    nuff talking over to the pics :)

    start with some pics on the running car :)

    the doors was in a bad shape, so i replaced almost every thing.

  14. You have great skills for a 20yo! I was on my third rod at 20, but I was a butcher.... I knew nothing, except how to stick weld. :eek:
    I have been to Sweden, it's a lovely place. My step-son and his young family live in Alvsjo. Their house, and the houses around them, look like the picture out of a fairytale book.
