Hot Rod & Rock Show 2014!

 This very cool Willys '41 came from Sweden. Detail work and craftsmanship was impressive.

 

 This nice pick-up was hand lettered during the show.

 

 Cool looking station wagon from Finland.

 

 This flat silver beauty was also from Sweden.

 

 Kimmo Janhunen was caught from John D'Agostino's booth (light green Caddy at background) and wanted to get same picture with Anu Pekonen.

 

 Markku Rio asked Anu to pose with his real cool "Sweet 666" MAN for few pictures.

Custom Legend John D'Agostino wanted to be photographed with Anu and his show winning Custom Built '40 Cadillac named "Sophia". It was big privilege for Anu to pose with the Legend. Thank you Mr. A'Gostino from this great picture and nice chat.

Polished CAT 3406B Turbo!

 New look of Engine from driver's side.

 

 Polished out Turbo installed.

 

 Turbo compressor housing did polish out real nice and looks super cool with chromed oil lines.

 

 Here can be seen chromed turbo cross-over pipe from turbo to intake manifold and polished aluminum housing which mounts to aftercooler.

 

Overall looks of the engine did approve a lot. We are very happy to the final looks.

 

 

All parts which were sent out for chroming are now installed back as well as the aluminum parts witch were polished. Coolest detail on new looks of the engine is polished out turbo compressor housing. It took quite some effort to get it smooth and all polished, but sure was worth of all the sweat involved. We like a lot how chromed and polished parts look with candy red color used on the engine.

 

Moore updates will fallow!

 

 

Nyt on kaikki kromautetut osat sekä kiillotetut alumiiniosat saatu takaisin pakalleen moottoriin. Ehdottamasti coolein osa on kiillotettu turbon painepesä, joka vaati melkoisesti työtä, mutta oli vaivan arvoinen. Kromatut ja kiillotetut osat luovat upean koknaisuuden candy punaisen moottorin kanssa. Lopputulokseen on pakko olla tyytyväinen!

New Chromed and Stainless parts!

5th Wheel handle was made out from stainless steel by my real good friend Mika Sistonen. I polished out the handle and got the spring chromed. Outcome is amazing!

 

I got new handles for Battery/Step box which I got chromed out and mounted with polished out stainless hardware.

 My CAT 3406B got its share from polished and chromed out parts. Some of the parts I polished out are Air compressor intake manifold, Aftercooler top plate and Turbo Compressor Housing. Power steering oil dipstick and many other parts got chromed.  Thanks for my good friend Larry Olsen from providing me chromed Advance Timing Unit Cone Cover, Fuel Pump Side Plate and Fuel Filter Can.

 

Air Ride Leveling valve arm and connecting rod got made out from stainless and polished out including mounting hardware. Thanks to Mika Sistonen from stainless work!

 

 

As I promised I have kept working on and customizing my W900A EXHD at side of the Screamin' Jimmy project. Above you can see some of the new features I have done for next show season and there's still more to come!

Screamin' Jimmy update!

Here's small update from past week for Screamin' Jimmy. Got one fuel tank polished out and two more to go. As you can see paint on the truck is also shiny now (except back of sleeper in the pic). Took me whole day to buff out the old faded paint, but it was worth the effort since truck looks amazing now (sorry that the picture does not do justice to the truck). I have ordered new outlines for graphics on the sides and should have them during this week. Few items have been ordered from US and should arrive in week or so.

 

Keep posted for more updates soon!!!

Wheel polishing and Geting Parts Chromed out!

 

 

 First front wheel polished out real nice!

 

 One rear wheel done three more to go.

 

 I was impressed how nicely wheels polished out with pretty less work.

 

Here you see few of the items I'm getting chromed for my W900A EXHD.

 

 

 

I'm still waiting to hear from the shipping company related to the damage they did at the port while unloading the General from the ship. During the wait I have started to polishing out the wheels on the General and here you see how nicely first ones came out. I still have few of them to go.

 

Also I have been working on with some of my W900A EXHD parts to get chromed. I have done all the prep work for chroming my own and sent parts out last week. Can't wait to get them back all shiny and be mounted back to the Kenworth.

 



GMC General at home 20!

 

Just short up-date for now. Screamin' Jimmy -project has been picked up from the port of Kotka. As you can see from the pics we had a little drama with the pick up. General got damaged to the front RH side while unloading from the ship by the shipping company. Among with other damages the radiator got bend and started leaking so bad we had to get wrecker to get it home from the port. At the moment we are working on with shipping company about the damage case. Hope we'll get it solved ASAP and we can get General -project forward on high gear.

 

Special thanks to Hinausautot Purhonen Ky from excellent service!!!

 

Joo....

 

Eli pikainen päivitys Screamin' Jimmy -projektin tiimoilta. Auto haettiin satamasta helmikuun 7 päivä lievän draaman saattelemana. Auto vaurioitui keulastaan laivasta purkauksen yhteydessä laivayhtiön toimesta. Keula koki yllättävän laajat vauriot vaikka ne eivät kuvissa näy. Muun muassa syyläri taipui ja alkoi vuotaa sen verta pahoin ettei autoa voitu siirtää satamasta omin voimin. Poiminta tehtiin hinausauton turvin. Nyt meneillään on vaurion korvausten selvittely laivayhtiön kanssa. Toivotaan, että asia saadaan nopeasti päätökseen ja projekti käyntiin isolla vaihteella!

 

Erityiskiitos oikein hyvästä ja asiantuntevasta palvelusta Hinausautot Purhonen Ky:lle!!!
