Trying to impress my future father-in-law |
||
| Driving a little Fiat 600 with a 22 hp engine installed from the factory
it was easy to accept the notion that cars aren't neccessarily done when
sold even if factories claim so. Reworking the head of the 600 made me
realise the importance of seeking information in magazines like "Hot Rod"
and other litterature. These also showed that the guys wrenching US cars seemed to have a lot more fun. |

| In 1967 I found a 1933 Ford Tudor abandonded by the roadside. It appeared the owner and his girlfriend had tried to drive it to the local opening of the movie "Bonnie and Clyde" and during this drive the car expired dramatically with a con rod out the side of the 4 cylinder engine. I managed to search him up, bought the wreck and was introduced to a gang gathering around US car projects in Oslo from time to time talking about Hot Rods. | ||
