Jyrki's '57 was outside today for a brief moment to break in that new camshaft. And to check that all gears go in  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmVkTVU-_zk

Wow, what a job just getting it outside. Sounds good. Do you happen to know what those wheels came off of?

Jyrki I thought they were, but did not know you could get them in a ford bolt pattern. Or did you redrill the hubs?

Dual pattern wheels.

Thanks for the info: be sure to keep us posted on the progress of the wagon. How is the altered race car coming along? Haven't seen posting in a long time.

Slow progress... very slow! Just got new front and rear tyres (old ones were little crispy) and inner tubes . Oil pan modification on it's way, under engine tray done but not attached yet and electrics still undone and frame unpainted. Still plenty of time to July 9th .

It will be interesting to see how the turbo combo works in a race chassis. Keep us posted.

That is some man cave that you guys are operating out of. Engine sound healthy!

You nail it! Real man cave. It's an old wall paper factory which was founded 1912. Factory ended in middle of 70's and after that it has been in use of garages. There is lots of kustom, hot rod and motorcycle hobby shops in building.

Some progress... Hood is straightened and front fenders are cut cross in the middle and raised little bit. That's because fenderwell headers cut out hole don't support fiberglass.  
The artist, Big B is lurking behind car.

I love the old school lace paint, and the roof design. You have one fine ride.

Wow after all these years of hard driving with the old paint this must be a bit scary. Looks so good I'd be worried to run it in the dirt! Yes I have watched the films. Did you find the missing front fender trim? Your car looks really good and will be a real head turner wherever you drive it. Congratulations jyrki. Chuck in NH

All the driving from now on will be straight forward  . And Jyrki's Country Sedan will serve us as a Tow Truck...?

I'll miss the action shots of the wagon but it should be worth it to watch your altered. The wagon is the perfect tow vehicle for it. Chuck

Chuck: I've had all trim parts from three parts cars. It's always just been so big hurry to hit the streets that they never got their place...
