Bought me a new bike:
And brought home a "new" car, a 1962 Volvo 221 (first year of 220's stationcars) with closed compartment, the closest thing to an Amazon panel van:
At the new warehouse, next to my garage:
Keep 'em kruzin!

A nice sunday...
Woke up to this pretty sight:

Headlights and more space
Bought a set of '30-'31 headlights with stag for the pick-up, but the stag was wrong, and the headlights was converted (via a transformer) to 220 volts- so now I have a new lamp in the garage:
Had a talk with my father in-law last night, and we agreed, that I could rent some more space at their farm, so I can get all my stuff at one place. So within the next year, I should hopefully get all the Volvos and parts up from my garage in the south, have it all in one place and be able get some work done, instead of using my time on the 150 km (ca. 95 miles) trip!
Keep 'em kruzin!

All sorts of meters...
As I was trying to clean up the garage, I stumbled upon my collection of different meters, which was expaned at my birthday with this Volvo 444 gauge cluster:
Still thinking of using the Chevy piece for a gauge cluster, here with some Smiths instruments:
So many to choose from, so little dashboard space! Thank god, I don't have to choose tonight!
Keep 'em kruzin - and stopping!

Birthday in the garage
As I turned another leaf in the yearbook of my life lately, I desided to have a celebration with hot cocoa and layered cake in the garage. So last sunday, I pushed Ole-Henry out the door, put in a couple of tables, and had invited some people- we were 16, and we couldn't have been one more! Here are some pictures:
As usual had my mother in law made me a cake, this year it was a Model A engine:
I especially liked the ceramic sparkplugs!

Small steps
Yesterday I was at the shop agsin, this time I tried to save the door post, that was already nailed to the corner.
That gave me an idea: I might actually be able to make money on the rusty pieces! So one of these days, I'm auctioning off original model A nails and two screw-heads, scavered from the rusty pile of parts, I hope to one day call a pick-up! Not to make more money, than to by new ones for the cab-to-be!
I've had some people asking me about, what the big difference in the parts are, since I can't use the cab corners, which I tried to capture below:
It doesn't align, when the door fits in the door post.
Next week is pick-up free wednesday, since I'm helping the piratez building a buck (a wooden skelleton) for a speedster project for one of their metal shaping classes. A rather different project for me, since I'm a metal guy!!

So it begins...
I've thought a lot over, whether to make the pick-up from the spare sedan parts, I have, or to use the fiber roadster. But my plan was to build a pick-up, so that's what I'll do.
Started out last wednesday with the roof posts (over the doors), and tried to straighten them.
Then the plan is to use the one-piece back of what seems to be a Murray fordor (ford-or, ha ha!), make it fit the tudor doors with beads and upper roundings, and then make the back out of what pieces, I have left over from other bodies.
More to come, as I continue.
Keep 'em kruzin!
