hi gobi,
wow what a way kool car, just thhe right material for a serious ol'skool styled custom....not forgettin' the bike, again great bobber material as i'm also heavily into these aswell !

do you get to any of the german hotrod / kustom meets that i've seen in custom car, ol'skool rods etc.

i usually attend the uk's premier trad rod & kustom event, The HotRod Hayride, plenty of kool music going on, not forgettin' the burlesque entertainment !

i'll send you some photos of my last project , a trad styled '48 Plymouth Club Coupe, when i've resized them for sending, file size is large at present 1

keep in touch,

regards,

Ah, now I found the pics! Wow, you own all these cars? Holy shit!!
I have visited a few meetings here in Germany this year - this hole hot rod stuff is becomming quite popular now - sometimes more popular as I like...
I have a blog about building the car, it's just in german, but a lot of Photos:

Nothing like this about the motorbike, but if you take a look how the look original, you can imagine, what I have done:

unfortunately i don't own any of them now, sold on to finance new projects and the last one sold to help me move home because of a new job that forced me to relocate to my present location.

That bike is way too ephing cool! Not to get to personal but do those sell for big $$ over there? My hot rods will prob. be the disregarded MG's of my father-in-law. That car looks so much like a toy, ha!, I had to look close at the pic to get the sense of reality.

That's very cool! I really like the motorcycle. I was super into motorcycles for a while. I still have a few around, but I used to have dozens. Nothing as nice as yours though. (you can see pictures here: http://bikepics.com/members/fixedschwinn/) I realized I wasn't that good at keeping them running, which made it less fun. Now I'm into bicycles. Those I can usually keep running and have a lot of fun building and riding.

Had to join so I could chime in! Way cool EMW, My granmothers boyfriend had a B MW simular to that. Thanks for adding the before shot, really shows your mods, the result is well done. What make is the car?
Neat bicycle too, I really like the side hack bike, I could use one of those for postal trips.
No picture at the moment but my project is a '36 Ford 5 window, oh and I have a couple bicycles and a few motorcycles. I think we all have the same disease, stuffitus.
