Volvo 444 and 454 customs, let's see em

Here my heavily customized 220 Nomad Soon to get painted and assembled!

 

Nice to see you on the Journal too, Im Gyllenberg from amazon.forum.bilia

 

Really like the 2 dr wagon version but hard as hell to come by these days.

 

Kvipt, yours looks and awful lot like mine, nice job on the headlights and rounded hood corners. Glad your in Norway

 

Kool to see you as well, gotta dig Kermit! Yep, they are impossible to come by, unless you build one yourself Yeah, they've been given the similar treatment! Hehe! Did you use b-pillars from a sedan as well?

Here's a photoshop of how it's gonna look like when it's finished..

 

Thats AWESOME man. Totally awesome. So glad at least some Europeans get it that our domestics are worthy. Really lookin fwd to this.

I also really like the white convert that GooGooMuck posted, and the beat up chopped white one too. Any more pics or details on those?

 

I got a bunch of pics on the white convertible, just gotta find them

Heres mine, a work in progress





My old stationwagon







Heres a friend of mines Volvo, shes a girl too so that might explain the color





And some random Volvos







Also took some pics of the Wild Tomato this summer

 

Found them!









And some more random Volvos for those who are interested

 

And to finish it off, a nice wagon

 

Oops! Shoebox Ford!

 

my sons 544 with B23 ,140 frontend 240 rearend
that just gave a paint job and is asembling right now
wery much modified but stock apearing

 

Kvipt, Maybe I missed something, I'm not getting the Kermit reference. What I did for the doors was to cut the slanted window track off the rear doors and slice and dice it onto the sedan doors. Then move the C pillars forward to match. Send me a PM and we can compare notes.

 

Nope, that's a Volvo 122 Sedan. Ya gotta look close!!

 

There was a guy building one with a Ecotec to run at Bonneville, did anyone see him there this year ???

 

Sorry, but that's Wayne Jones' famous 1951 Ford, "Little Darlin".

Check it out: http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_...9-51_ford_custom_cars/wayne-jones-1951-ford-/

 

Hehe! The kermit comment was ment to refere to Swedevedette's Volvo 122 he's on a swedish 122 forum you see.. Aha, so that's the way you've done it! I was able to cut the b-pillars with rear fenders from a wrecked sedan, welded it in place and moved the c-pillar to be the b-pillar.

Here is a pic with the sedan pieces tacked on, and before the c-pillar became the b-pillar http://m1268.photobucket.com/albumview/albums/thekvipt/1967 Amazon Nomad/left.jpg.html?o=79&newest=1

 

Thanx dude! it's my first custom, i know it's not american made.. But it's nice to get some practise before you begin to cut into some old Detroit steel and it's cheaper for a 18 year old norwegian kid as well..

 

a lil update on Farnetti's

 

You are correct, sir, my apologies.

 

very cool!

 

My wedding car, Rainbow Chaser. A custom Volvo originally built by Andy Saunders in the U.K
