Engine Update:
Our engine is finished and was dynoed by the builder, Campbell Automotive of Edmonton. The results and more about the engine will follow shortly.
Supporter Update: Walker Radiator Works – we’ll be using a Walker Z-Series 1932 radiator.
You may be aware that we coined a phrase “Rodding Has No Borders” – both provincial 
and international. Well, we’re definitely going abroad with this project car.
The car is a 1961, originally fitted with an inline four cylinder model B16 engine and 4-speed gearbox. It also featured a Dana 27 conventional solid rear axle, trailing arms, coil springs and, up front, independent suspension with coils.
As we move along, we’ll keep you posted on our direction for the car. For now, we’re posting some background information on Volvo cars and the the PV (Personvagnar) 444/544 models.

“Deuce Guy” Larry Zilinsky contacted me a while back to tell me about a project he was working on. Larry said:
I thought I’d send some pics of the ’40 Ford pickup I’m doing now. The story is that in the 50′s when I was growing up, my Dad (in the pic) had a business called Parkcrest Heating. So when I decided to build a ’40 Ford pickup rat rod, I thought I’d do it as a reincarnation / barn find /shop truck, complete with Tremclad rust flat black paint polished through – patina’d with SBC, 4 speed, whites, etc. Just a great driver & fun truck! My Dad was in tears when he saw what I was doing! Makes a guy feel good!”
Larry, thanks for sharing. More photos HERE >>
