Event Coverage Old Skool has landed - The Helsinki Spring Show -09

I'm proud to share these very recent photos of this weekend's Finland American Car Show. Here are some of my favourites to begin with, more later!!!

The Buick is amazing, very fresh custom! 41-Chevy came from Tomi kangas' Heath Garage, dig the candy red. Teemu did good work with the ex-Hamber Model A Coupe. Jari's (DeS on HAMB) chopped Kaiser is tits!! Another Heath Garage car was the Studebaker in surfing theme. Amazing Chevy Pickups from Hersti Autoshop. The salt lake camera car diodrama from the Finnish Street Rod Association was the coolest ever. Bikes were amazing too! And talking 'bout tits...
