Sondre Kvipt's 1934 Ford
From Kustomrama
1934 Ford Pickup owned by Sondre Kvipt of the Coupe Devils Car Club in Norway. The car was built out of the remains of an old 1934 Ford Sedan in Sweden. The original steel Sedan body was shortened down, chopped, and fit on a 1980 Mazda chassis. The first version of the car featured fiberglass fenders and a wooden bed. Hood and hoodsides were handmade. A later owner fit the car with a homemade bed.
The car was sold to Norway in 2002. Einar Jacobsen bought the car at the Wheels Nat`s Norr in Umeå 2002.[2] In 2005 Einar died, and his wife sold the car to Sondre Kvipt of Oslo, Norway.
When Sondre bought the car in 2005 it had been given a street rod treatment featuring billet wheels and a bright orange color. The car was pinstriped by Pekka "Wizzard" Mannermaa, and featured a black rolled and pleated interior. With help from Kjetil Kvipt and Olav Kvipt the car was sanded down and repainted in a flat brown color. The billet wheels were replaced by steelies from a 1941 Chevrolet Coupe, and the original bumpers were removed. The wheels were sandblasted and painted glossy black before they were fit with blackside Firestone biases from Cooker Tires. When Sondre got the car it featured four 1959 Cadillac taillights, Sondre replaced these with two 1955 Pontiac taillights fit with shortened down 1959 Cadillac taillights in the center. The car was finished just in time for the 2005 A-Bombers Old Style Weekend in Uddevalla, Sweden.
By the end of the 2006 season the Swedish pinstriper Von Sven painted a Cyclone Racing Equipment logo on the doors of the car. This was done at the 2006 A-Bombers Old Style Weekend in Uddevalla, Sweden.
During the winter of 2008 Sondre fit the car with headlights from a 1936 Ford, and one week before the 2009 A-Bombers Old Style Weekend Kjetil Kvipt fabricated a rolled pan for the car out of sheet steel. The new rolled pan was fit with 1941 Chevrolet taillights and a sunken license plate.
