Rodder's Roundtable / glow-in-the-dark..... paint
March 18, 2005, 12:01:08 PM
The glow looks like the stuff we used for evacuation lines in the factory. It lasts for years and years. Smells absolutely horrible tho. It was a powder that you mixed with some sort of...paintish thing. It's about 200$/Liter +powder 50$/liter (amount you need for 1 liter)

Well it seems i will go ahead with this project after all. Got the prize down to the original level and found a Mopar dealer 250km from my home!!!
The good thing is i have been offered to take two cars instead of one! This wil cost about 1000$ more but im thinking it is worth it

As everybody says if someone really want's your car it's gone. But the tazer/electrecution ideas are good.
Ive been breaking into cars just to prove it can be done (with owners consent) A Volvo V70 -04 takes about 15 seconds to get off the driveway. No visible damage to the car.
Best way would be the horse fence i think. It sure as hell would make me take another car.
By the way, if you lock your keys into a car be sure that the police is not in the vicinity when you open it.....i had loads of trouble explaining the incident.

Yeah, he said around 20k swedish and then when i told him i was interested it jumped to 35k. Ive heard lots of good things about him so im not gonna complain about him yet. But im holding off on this car a while. Have an El Camino in my sight atm, hopefully ill be the owner in June/July :-)

North 100km from UmeƄ. But this project has been delayed. The guy that was getting it to sweden started making up loads of strange "fees" so i cancelled the deal and right now im holding off a little.

February 20, 2005, 06:01:59 AMQuotewhy don't you be different and keep it all mopar? You can make some serious horse power with mopar motors, anyone can drop in a sbc into something but it takes a hard core rodder to keep it all MOPAR.A
QuoteMopar drive train would be cool but I guess you have all you can do just getting a pedestrian SBC there in Sveedin.
Just got off the phone with an old friend...he is driving bracket dragracing with a mopar....he said he would do horrible things to me if i dropped a CSB into that thing :p . He can probably help me get parts and knowledge for a mopar drivetrain. And yes it would be a lot cooler to mke it all Mopar.
Thanks for that link he had loads of stuff. What i am most curious over is what rearaxle to use and if i can rebuild the suspension into a 4 link system. Since i need to pay about 2$/$ when importing from the US im on a fairly tight budget and parts scavenging in Sweden is kinda hard.
QuoteBTW: my first ride and the one responsible for my initiation into wrenchcraft was a `59 PV544 Volvo.
Rebuilding the floor and rear fenders on my 1970 Volvo 142 atm, got it from my grandpa when he passed away so im the second owner. This car has never failed to start a long as iv had it. -40 C no engineheater...choke, turn key, brabrom. It'l run on 2-3 cylinders the first 5-10 minutes but eventally it'l come around and run like a dream

Oooops! I got a hold of a car a Plymouth Coupe -41...got the car for free and just need to pay the transport, taxes etc etc to get it into old cold Sweden (~$2800). Buying it in sweden would cost me 10000 dollars minimum probably more. I have little or no info about the car...well i have two pictures...
That's it the plan is to make it into a real low profile rod. No scoop or sidepipes just some mild bodywork and a bucketload of horsepowers. The engine of choice will be a CSB 350. Since the car will arrive in June/July ill be building the engine and some other things while waiting.
Now for the question: where can i find info on this car ?....it's my first build and my first V8 at 24 years of age ive only worked with old volvos and Opels....Any tips for information is appriciated.

February 11, 2005, 06:48:43 PMQuoteAre there many of those machines in Sweden?
You know that's the only one ive seen. And i live in the part of sweden where we live snowmobiles so i think that's the only "serious" one.
