25 boxes full of parts later, a newly painted body, and a call to the states.
And there is was, his 1959 Ford Convertible! In 2004, Young and with his dream scattered across 25 big boxes he set a goal to put the car back together over three Swedish winters. For a 20 year old with his prize possession lurking in his garage. Three long years went by, something that must have felt like an ice age frozen over the garage and keeping his 59 from cruising the streets top down. Blood sweat and tears went into his baby. However that newly painted body just had one wave too many for his standards. Out with the sander, and a depressing blow to his build had him at rock bottom.
Under that “shiny” exterior laid two inches of bondo in some places. Discussed with the craftsmanship he stripped the entire body down and started off from scratch. A calendar hanging from a nail in the garage haunted over the Ford. 6 calendars later that curse was finally lifted. He could finally put the key in the ignition and go for that magic drive in clean jeans. Daddy Curt Jansson had his double folded license (Old swedish licenses were so big they had to fold
them) and has been out racing since the mid 50’s. He’s seen ever play in the book. Up until he stumbled apon the biggest land yacht out on the market. After an impulse buy he had the heaviest car he’s ever owned. A car originally for big shot executive’s that hasn’t been started
