Show Coverage Finlandese - Less Girls - Well, some...

We had a nice show up here again. My wife told me not to take so many girl photos, Carb-Otto agreed.
So here you go:



Jone Kaasinen deputed with his fresh Pickup. The best hot rod in the show in my opinion.








Very nice Lakes' style Roadster from Sweden. Tomi Kangas' "Stuart Little" Model T on the back.









Another surprising newness for me. Chopped Packard -53 in a fighter theme. 1100 hand-painted rivets...







TiNi doing his magic.





Pekka Wizzzard scrolling lines on a 64-Chevelle Lowrider.





Arctic Pinheads had a huge lounge full artists and paintings and stuff. Some more amazing art in totally different forms...







Talking 'bout art, this one was some kind of preacher I guess. Made of steel... No idea about its history but looked old. Interesting decoration at least...

 

More pickups.

Y-Block powered Model A with many nice details.




Super cool F-1 in suede gold and slammed to the ground. Bagged trailer behind...





34-Roadster and 31-Coupe




I've seen several chopped Shoeboxes and this time it was done perfect.




Oops...

 

OK, one more for Preacher Eric, but that's it.

Rogge's Pan Bobber




So many cool bikes. Maybe I should join the Jockey Journal...
Anyways, here's the current world championship #1 holder in motorcycle building, The Hulster 8 Valve. It was an honour to see this bike in person. Just amazing ideas and craftmanship!





Smooth Merc.

 

I was gonna write..."too bad about the girls"...when one suddenly pops up at the end of post no 2 so how many girl pics did you end up taking !?
Thanks for sharing ! and yes the Jone Kaasinen pick up, its spot on. The Packard is also very cool even though I would have choosen another paint ... but thats' just me. Any more pics ... of cars.. and girls !?

Sixties' style does it always for me. Never too much green flake.







Weird leather-covered Phaeton. Stance and such was OK but why the leather... Just why?




This Roadster was just finished before the previous show by Hersti Autoshop. The happy owner is going to take it to each show over the year. He looks so happy each time I have seen him driving the car. Just go for it dude!

 

Something for Keith:





I mean:

 

After the show I had a chance to visit Mr. Moore's new shop and garage opening party even though they had almost closed already. Thanks Sarita and Mika. The thing had been a huge success during the day. Mr. Moore told me how their house was totally full of people when a whole new busload of people suddenly arrived. Haha, I can imagine the feeling, some more coffee maybe...

That's all folks. Hope you enjoyed watching the pics.

Maybe too many...

 

There's a funny story behind this cute smile... I was adjusting my camera and watched her every now and then just to find out where to get the best picture. She said: " Oh I'm so sorry, you want to take a photo only of the bike?!" She started to leave. I answered: "No. Only of You."

 

The riveted panel paint on that 53 was dope

Get a rope!

 

"Best in Show" right there! Thanks for the pics!

 

I cannot imagine many jobs other than a tatooist where your having a crap day then this babe walks in and says "sorry to be a nuisance but can you do a number on my boobs".I bet he was well put out
My foreman pulls that one on me all the time

 

Great pictures, THanks! You guys have some cool stuff.

 

More oops is fine with me ... acidentally post a few more!
Did you get any shots of that green 64-5-6 chev truck in the back ground of the riveted car?

 

Nice shots... you guys really know how to "Finnish" cars, huh?
BWaaahaaaa... haaa... nevermind.

 

Some cool shit over there, the bomber paint on the Packard is disgusting tho.

 

excellent pics , im parcial to the green as well..

 

Love the chop on the "rivetted" Packard.

Scared shitless of the chick with the tatooed hooters.

 

The leather covered rod is built by a professional interior guy, just to show his knowledge. Not beautiful, but it serves its purpose

 

any more pics of the truck? cool show

 

Cool..........

By request...

 

Yeah, if Rob Halford had a hot rod- I know what it would look like!

 

Just to let you know, we don't really use that kind of language here on HAMB.

I think the proportions are perfect being a four-door Packard. Painting was done very well. Yeah yeah, I would have done something "more traditional", more "kustom kulture" and bomber theme screams rat rod, but what the hell, I still think it's cool.

 

thanks for the truck shots!

 

This looks like a Confederate Soldier offering you a plate of burritos.

Anywho, thanks for the pictures. Looks like there were quite a few nice cars. I especially like that maroon coupe in the background of the hood ornament picture. Way cool.

 

Same show, more pictures, even less girls...

Thanks Hemmo, very nice photos from you!

Yeah, less girls, more hot rods!
Gotta say, Jone's pick-up has great stance! Best in show, IMO.
Other Finnish HAMBers; has someone taken even more pics?

 

Hey, I know those guys...My Rebel Wire Distributor for Finland...
