Kjelle Gustad (b. 1940), at Enskedefältet in Stockholm, Sweden.
Kjelle grew up close to the Broberg family in Enskede. At young years he spent most of his spare time there, fixing and repairing all kind of cars and vehicles found in the woods.
Together with his class-mate and friend Hans Broberg, Hot Rod magazine and other imported media was read and the inspiration grew stronger.

When the Kasby brothers brought the Dean Moon Dragster from USA, for a Revell sponsored event at Nordiska Kompaniet, Kjell and Hasse decided they should build a similar dragster.
When finished, they took some wild test rides around the streets!

Kjelle was part-owner of a boat type Cutter, together with Arne Lindstrand, Hasse Broberg and Saxin. They spent much time and money repairing and restoring the boat, and in 1969, went on a long trip to the Mediterranean Sea, and further on to Caribbean islands and finally Florida in the USA.
