A break from beach life

Every day cannot be spent at the beach with the family, most due to Norwegian weather. Then it's good to have some alternative activities for bad weather days. Last weekend I got a tip about a "mid fifties" single cab. So when the rain hit, I had to check it out. It all looked like a mess when I came there, but it turned out to be able to help me with some donor bits. No, not for my zwitter, a new project is on the steps, before the zwitter is even done. But the new project will make the zwitter welding look like kindergarden work. So for now I'm just collecting pieces parallell to finnish off my zwitter, not starting with anything new for a good while. The forest-wreck turned out to be a sealing-wax-red 59. It supplied me with a complete front beam, complete trans and axles, and some small useful pieces. It takes an enthusiast to see the gold...

Some more pictures

Took a couple of shots of the car last night. This time also from the interior. Function before comfort?

Correct wheels Part. 2

How correct are the wheels and stance of the zwitter, claiming to be a mid 50 ies race car? Well, the trendsetting for cars over the years have more or less been influenced by the factory premium racecars. So why do the zwitter has cal-look stance? And where did the cal-look stance come from in the 60 ies? Here are a couple of photos showing Formula 1 and Indy 500 cars in the year of 1952. That's tireporn right there, and they sure have a nice stance too... Me like a lot =) (that BRM burnout is something else or what?) I'm not saying the zwitter is authentic and that there ever was built such a car this early, but then again, why not?
