1957 Chezamo

Thanks Jurgen, I can’t speak for Olle, but for me the time it takes to build a project car varies greatly. I tend to have many builds going at once. Usually, they are in completely different stages of completion. One almost done, one about half way done and one just starting (I am sure most builders operate in this manner).

I spend about 3 to 3 ½ hours most every night building. I have my TV and stereo in my workroom, so I am very comfortable just building cars and listening to news, my DVD collection, history shows or Discovery Channel shows.

Lets see, if it takes about 4 months to complete a project, and I spend 1 ½ hours a night working on that car, I will work on it about 25 days in any month, so that works out to about 150 hours per car, give or take a few hours…that is just under three 40 hour work weeks of time…but of course there are exceptions to every rule.

I guess I am lucky, in that I don’t usually suffer from “Builders Blockâ€â€¦.I seem to be able to find my next project without a problem, so I can move right on to the next build. Right now I am finishing up a build, and getting close to completing another one. These two are really (I hope) going to be unique. I can’t wait to finish them and show you guy’s…they will be pretty sharp looking. One is completely different, for me, anyway, and the other is a brother to the 56 and 57 shown here to complete the series.

Hej Olle, what did you do with the leftover narrow halves?? A rod highboy?? Or.... Bonneville streamliner maybe...??

'Later, Hasse

Can't remember what I did with them... I got rid of mostly everything when I moved to the US, and I believe Claes B-F and Björn S. ended up with most of what I had. They should both be able to put it to good use though.
