My Cadillac 1949 Sedanette

Sweet!, Finally after 4 years of waiting , I got my bitch back in my garage.
She has been resting in a haybarn for a while until I found a third garage space for it. and I did 2 weeks ago. So last friday my mom and dad took her for a spin down to Gothenburg for me. I had this car as my daily driver for 4-5 years, now she needs some attention.
Damn I love this car.
We got our 10 years anniversary this year! Hurray for me.

1936 Harley VL 4 speed transmission

How many of you have ever seen a 4 speed tranny for VL??
found 2 of them in a friends basement a while ago.
He said only 80-100 of these option trannys were ever built.
I believe they a very rare.

The right is a normal 3 speed and to left a 4 speed. Its the mother of the tranny we are used with today.

1932 Ford alumium oil pan

A couple of months ago I bought a original 1932 aluminum oilpan in sad shape.
As allways when you find something old and used item it need tender and love.
It had plenty of old repairs and the welder must have taken crack before he started because he could not know what the hell he was doing.
Everywhere it was welded it was cracked.

So we started to cut out the badest area and weld the edges to mix the old material with better. then cut a new piece of plate to fill the hole and weld it.

The starter cover was orignally made of steel but was gone when I got it.
So I took a flathead 45 Harley piston I had left from my old Harley and lathed all internal out so it would fit over the bendix gear and then weld it.


Now the big work starts to grind everything down and get it smooth so I can polish it!

Legend

Bill Hines.
I dont think this man needs a presentation.
I met him for the first and maybe the only time at Viva Las Vegas in 2006.
He is 89 years old and still working seven days a week building kustom cars.
I dont think I even be alive at age 89.

You rock Hines!

Royal Garage

Who of you doesnt want to have a view like this in your garage?
I would not mind at all..

A 1932 Ford 5 window coupe and a 1939 flathead Harley.
These vehicles belongs to Håkan Erixon here in Sweden.
A well know dude both as a member of A-Bombers mc/car club and
photographer/writer for Swedish Gasoline magazine.


I hope to see you ride your flathead up Devils Peak this year
instead of your deuce!

Heavy drinkers

Fuckin hell, I think these guys like their Jack daniels.

Chopper fender NOS

How often do you go to a swap meet and find your self a NOS Triumph ribbed fender?
I did today, and it didnt cost shitloads of money. Very sucessfull swap today. I actually bought two ribbed Triump rear fenders! Happy happy!
Now I got one fender for my chopper project and one for my super charged VL/knucklehead!

Roadster friday!

Fuck yeah!

The roadster is back on the road. had some small problems from last years season, but today everything was fixed so I have been out driving it the hole day, super sweet!

Damn I like my car.

blue sky , ice cream, chicks everywhere and my hotrod.

Today , life is good.

Gearhead heaven

When was the last time you entered a shop like this, filled with parts you really need instead of toys and candy you find today.

Fjus Harley 45 chopper

This guy is beyond reality sometimes. He can be a total retard and the next minute amazingly serious and a very good mechanic.
Is he a superhero or just a weirdo?
When Fjus does not wear his phantom suit he rides a harley 45 chopper, built from parts he found in his dads barn.
During the summer he use it as his daily driver, way much better then his Volvo!
keep on rocking bro!

My chopper project

2 days ago on my birthday I got a crome oil tank for my chopper from Fjus.
Thanks man!
And a week ago I found a really nice Triumph rear fender I need to get cromed.
Today I made a little mock up of some parts in my garage.
Found a 1946 knuckle engine block under a work bench and some cylinders and heads from a panhead in my shelf. Now I need to find a set of patina up sweeps and cromed type dixe muffler for panhead.
Later a 1952 EL panhead will fit the frame. Dont know yet what kind of saddle I want, but I will figure that out soon.

Right now it just hangs on the wall, waiting until Ill find the rest of the parts.
I hope I can start build it this winter.

I am still Looking for:
Old cromed oem kicker cover
old cromed hummer tank
old cromed oil pump
old crome clutch arm

Where were you in 1952?

This 1952 Ford belongs to my garage pal Johan. Its still has most of its original paint it got when it left the Ford factory in Detroit.
Johan is a guy who likes to restore old bicycles on his weekends. moustly bikes from the 30´s and 40´s.
The plan is to get this old customline Ford back on the street. It just need some small adjustment before we can make it run as smooth as a flathead can go.

Banjos are for hillbillys

My good friend Pål Torp in Norway got himself a very nice 29/32 roadster and soon it will be out on the street. But the fuel line is not what you wanna see on a traditional period correct hotrod. Banjo fittings are not correct my friend!

Last week I made him a new fuel line made of copper and brass. sent it by mail to Norway. Yesterday I got these last two pics on my cellphone from Pål. No words needed.

Ford 1932 tudor build in Denmark

Sometimes I miss this old bastard , built this car 4 years ago. And now it just sits in parts in a barn, maybe I should put it back together?
This car war actually built in Denmark in 1932. The european body is a little different then the american, its wider and got suicide doors and got deeper cowl. The europeans must have been bigger then americans in the 30´s!
The dash does have dual glowboxes. One on each side of the dash cluster.
I liked the car almoust better then the american.
Maybe it will be running next year..

Flattie on the salt

I also wanna run full trottle at the salt.

Juniors panhead

When the hell do we see your panhead flying down the road?
Its about time you got it running. Come on man, Ill race ya. I need to get my panhead road ready as well.
