Danish Auto Club

When we were in Denmark and went to the Auto show and swap meet I picked up these.

Not sure but they could be from the 40,s they are the medallion's from the Royal Danish Auto Club.
They would have been mounted on a grill or bumper. NICE!
They look like they have spent a few years and miles out on the road.
Might put them on the Hot Rod.

Does not look like I will be driving the Hot Rod for awhile! Stuck in the garage! Cement was cracked big time so putting in Pavers.

Will all be nice and pretty for Christmas.

It will look good.

Big job!

Finished soon!

Christmas gift to myselfDone at last!

Danish Holiday

Nice 37 Ford Fire truck.

This 37 is a roadster/Cabriolet. At one time it was raced? Now has a nice 59A with two carbs a set of Canadian aluminum heads and what looked like cast headers but not Fentons?

Now this is nice and different!

German Ford,how about the door hinges? no squeak!

39 two door was nice

Always thought Lambos were just fast cars,while it seems they also make slow ones!

ROMO

Here are a couple of cars at ROMO  in Denmark last month.

Type in ROMO SPEED FESTIVAL or try ROMO MOTOR FESTIVAL and take a look. Just like TROG but a better beach!

And here is the man who with help from three others,Puts on ROMO!

Two guys named Thomas.
Thomas Russell and The Dynamic Dane Thomas Bredahl!

50 Chev 1/2 ton

Saw this parked on the side of the road in Vancouver.
The owner was doing gardening. I hopped out and was taking the photo. He walked up and we talked for awhile. I mentioned how I liked the 49 Plymouth bumpers and he said it was a Chev?
No I said those are 49 Plymouth bumpers. OH  is that what they are he said. I suppose he bought the truck,It was very nice! Good looking truck.

English cars

We went to an English car show at Government House.

The red car is a Morris 8.

First car I owned! Not this one but the same. I bought it from the original owner an elderly Lady in Cordova Bay,She said it came out on the last ship from England before the war!

Being the fool that I am or was, I drove it hard but sold it to a fellow who restored it,some time about 1968. It was very nice,even when I finished with it!

Our Wives like the MG salooooon!

A beautiful Merc.

Had a visit from Al today.

He has had this Merc for years,definitely the nicest  I have ever seen!

Took a close up of the park lights,different from the 46 car lights,probably only for the Merc trucks.

Look at the fender trim! usually these are beat to death.

Here is how mine looks. A bit different!

Plugin holes

So Today I decided to fill the FORD holes.

I took my Whitney punch and used some of the scrap from the fender  that I put in the fuel filler cover and punched 8 slugs,7/16  and welded them in the holes.

A little grinding and some hammer work and a skim of bondo and Presto!

 Done!

Next Day

 So. Now they get a rub with 600 wet. And we will see how they look. Might need a second coat.

Fenders

Working on these fenders,Good metal!

Just finished the primer and wet sanding with 320 grit.

Next will be the lacquer. Black! Managed to get a gallon so will lay it on nice and thick. My fenders on the car are Black Lacquer and have seen about 35 years so it holds up well.

I have had these for years and decided to finish them off and will install this winter, would like to use original tail lite brackets "stands" and the early 28 AR style lights.

I will add the finished look in a few days.

TVR sports car

Here is todays project. We delivered some cars and trucks to Port Angeles.

I drove a 1987 TVR an English sports car.

One of the wedge look period that was late 70's to late 80"s.

There were about 1100 made in the period 1979-1988.

It  Has different options from V6  to V8.

This car was fast! I had to remove my shoes so that my feet would not interfere with the pedals!

Once I was in it then all was well and it ran great!

Sanding

 Have the long board out and am sanding all the fenders,needs a skim of bondo in a couple of places but just a skim.
Then I will spray one more Hi Build then turn the truck around and put it back in the Garage in September and remove the front fenders so I can clean up the engine area. The wire loom will be tided up then and I will start doing engine accessories.
I have been busy with small jobs on the Chev and the Hot Rod but am now back on the truck!
