1953 Lincoln

Besides the Barracuda, this car is our main project. Its a 53 lincoln with the original 317 v8 in it. Lincoln was the first Ford brand who introduced the all new ohv v8 engine, baked with a 4 speed automatic. Even on todays standard it is still impressiv to drive. Well its not a racer but you can flow easy in todays traffic or even can drive 90 miles an hour for long distance rides. The most difficult part on this car is to get it streetlegal in switzerland. But hey, we work on it and one day a customer will cruise through the Swiss  alps and enjoy his HANDMADE ride. And this is what it's all about!

voodoopoo

Did you ever mention how much time in a life you spend uppon your ugly bastard plastic fantastic Toiletteseat?  Man or think about even the worst case if you ate something you shouldn't, or couple of beers too much ? Then you go down on your knees to face the fact that you have a nice car, a nice bike, 13 guitars and so on,  but now, in this sad moment,  you are sitting here and puking over this ugly piece of plastic. For me, this ain't work and i have a perfect solution for it:-) Voodoopoo Toiletterings :-) Take a look here.

Bike Craze

Well its a kind of strange, everyone is building bikes at the moment and of course everyone started to do this 25 years ago if not even 100 years ago. It was the same with hotrods, flatblack cars and so on and on and on. Anyway even I woke up one morning and thought, I join. I was driving races in my youth and this bikes learned me a lot. So after i had for 10 years or a couple more nothing to do with bikes, I start at a point where the whole wrenching shit started, with a bike I liked in the early 90s, late 80s a 900 boldor. An ugly brick of iron, but i have some plans with :-)
This was the pic after I bought her and unwrenched all the stuff you never need like flashers and so on
t
Then I made a new seat for her, removed the ugly handlebars, put some nice open aircleaners on her and this is how se looks at the moment.




Welcome to HANDMADE!
2012 what a number, still remember what I imagined under the year 2000 as a kid. Year 2000 when I was an adult which is 28years old. Well another 12 years are passed and I am still a kid. I build my cars by hand.  As a kid everyone told me that can't be done, you can't build a car out of rotten parts, you can't do this, you can't do that. I still wonder why peoples still tell kids such a crap. You can do anything, as long you really want it and you are willed to pay the price it will cost. You are ready to spend the time to learn it, ready to spend nights in a cold garage intime you friends sitting in a bar and getting a couple of beers and a girl later. Thats all, you have to belive, it can be done, thats really all.
Here is handmade.blogspot.com. Stuff I doing in my shop after my regular job which I do to earn the money I need to do a living.
