Trailer brake work is always fun! 😩🙃 We star

Trailer brake work is always fun! 😩🙃 We started too look at the uneven brake power from side to side on the same axle in November and then the winter came!... 🥶🥶🥶 Today was finally the day to continue because we got some sun and pretty decent weather to work outside in, that of course switched to some crazy windy and cold weather as soon as the tire and brake drum was off!.. 🤪😂 BUT the good part, we probably found the real problem with the brakes, there is roller bearing on both brake shoes that attaches to the axle that forces them apart to contact the drum when braking, that roller bearing was not a bearing anymore, it was just a rusty solid piece... 😬 But with a hammer and some big tools we got it apart and now it’s back together again with a lot of copper paste so it hopefully will last for a while now, just got 5 more wheels to do the same work on and then the yearly inspection to see if it’s good or if we need to adjust the brakes to make them work like they should... 😅😂

Last year was not much of a racing season or even a season at all!.. 💣🦇🔫 But some special people and companies did help us out in a special way and therefore I got this picture made for them! 🤗🙏🏻 And of course out on social media’s it’s for all of you out there that supports us in some way by following us, share our stuff, like stuff here on Instagram, on Facebook, website and on our YouTube channel! 🤩 You people are the reason I spend time putting out stuff on the internet, thanks for being a part of our racing circus! 😃

High up which I really don’t like... 🙄😱 Slippery as hell but a really sunny and perfect day for me and Sofi to shovel off the snow on the trailer roof! 😅😁 Felt like Bambi on ice but I did survive it! 🥶🙃

Throw back Thursday, about 20 years back in time!

Throw back Thursday, about 20 years back in time! 👀

Of course I had been to drag strips before but this started my own dragracing career, my first American car, a 1969 Chevy Nova! 😃

It all started back in the summer of 2001 with an old blue 4 door 1969 crappy Chevy Nova. It had a vinyl roof, Powerglide trans with a steering column shifter, small block Chevy, 12-bolt rear axle etc. It was ripped apart pretty quick and new 355 sbc was built, a custom-built TH350, B&M shifter, headers, larger exhaust new wheels and bigger tires etc. 😁 Of course it had to be flat black also! 😎

This car was used as a everyday car during the summer and I started to race on the streets / industrial areas in Stockholm on the legal street races called Blackrace, best part was that they did have real timing equipment so you did get a time slip every pass you made and that was real fun so you could go home and do changes and see next time if your were aiming in the right direction or not! 🤓

Best ET with the Nova was 8,693 sec, 130km/h (81Mph) on 1/8 mile, really slow compared to what I am used to today but it was here it all started! 🤩

I sold the Nova in 2009 to a guy from Denmark... Regret it... Really wish I still got it but I did need a motor to the Chevelle 65 that I was trying to finish at the moment so it had to go!.. 😢 I wonder if she’s still out there somewhere!? 🙄

First trailer working weekend in a long time! 😃

First trailer working weekend in a long time! 😃 This past weekend I spent some time on the trailer for the first time since I don’t know when!? 🤔 Anyway I finally got some aluminum strips in place to cover all the ugly electrical cables on the right side over the trailer side door, and when I was doing that I did install a fresh water and waste water gauge so it will be easier to check when it’s time to fill or drain them! 🤓 Also I did install one more storage box on the side door to keep stuff that you need close when we are out in the pit, one more time thanks to Bengtssons Smide for supporting us and helping us out fabricating a lot of stuff that we need so we can get the last things done and maybe have the trailer pretty much all done during this year! 🤩😍🙏🏻 (Well it will never be “done” but it might be finished at least 🙃🤪) I really like all the details that makes it look good and clean, don’t you!? 😃

After that I did some update on the IKEA bureau, I really don’t think it is supposed to be moved around like we do to be able to load 2 cars in the trailer... So some metal pieces mounted in it will make it stick in one piece now on I hope! 😂
