Maybe it's a pirate car

Ok so a small amount of progress... Since i'm going to repaint the car in a few years anyway I thought i'd try my hand at adding some "spots" for numbers. The paint on this car is so bad the masking tape pulls it off when you remove it... frustrating but nothing horrible. http://i1257.phot...

I thought they might be seperate flyoff handbrakes, one for left turns, one for right... Neat project. Looks like it cam out nicer than it would have been new. So do you actually own your namesake? I used to have the Swedish version, that thing was built like a tank! I keep me eyes open for a Fin v...

Very cool. Are there a lot of them still around? Only 20-30 here in the US, I was the only one who totaly restored one, not just painted it like many do! They are still very popular in europe for off road stuff but they get a bigger engine and tires most of the time for that. The flathead 4 only ma...

http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii510/pzkfw1944/Image013-2.jpg OK here we go! I've always wanted a vintage race car so thats where this 93f is headed... The rules 1. No drilling 2. No cutting 3. No alterations that can't be reversed (painting on the already repainted body ok!) 4. Nothing done t...

Those two levers are for the transfer case, high/low and 2wd/neutral/4wd.

My favorite feature of the vehicle was the big gas powered blow torch you used to preheat the block in winter to start... those russians were some crazy dudes!

I've had a few requests to post some pics of a vehicle I restored mentioned during my intro, here she is: http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii510/pzkfw1944/IMG_5603.jpg http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii510/pzkfw1944/IMG_5590.jpg http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii510/pzkfw1944/IMG_5620.jpg...

Looking for that nifty oil can bracket that clips a can of oil to the underside of the hood support... PM me if you have a lead!

Yup it was the one Tom had for sale. He had done the mechanical nasty bits and rust repair so it was perfect. The seats are ooogly but not a major issue. I had just finished an eight year frame of resto of a military truck so this seemed like a nice, small, mellow project.

I was watching that one on ebay. If i'd been closer I would have bid. I ended up with this little guy that has a freshly rebuilt engine but one ugly redone interior! It'll be a good rolling cosmetic resto...

Nope this is the blue one that was in Iowa... i'll get a pic up later today.

Hello! I recently picked up a 1960 Saab 93f and am in the process of educating myself in all ways Saab :yay: Neat little car with lots of fun knobs and levers! I've always had a soft spot for funky vehicles... all we really see at car shows around here are 60's-70's muscle cars painted red, green, b...
