Pretty good progress this past weekend working on

Pretty good progress this past weekend working on the Chevelle, truck and trailer! 💪🏻🤩

Me, Krille and Eddie did catch up some time together which was fun! 😍 Then we finished up some unfinished stuff on the truck that I’m not satisfied with, fixed some problems with the drivers seat, made sure that the rear wheel tubs won’t come loose again like they did last year on the way home from Santa Pod, had to repair one broken wheel tub also because of that! 🙃
Then Krille did fix some issues with the tail lights that worked just like they wanted every now and then, he also did install them a bit better…

We got the new generator for the trailer installed, once again a HUGE THANKS to Krille and Edlunds Maskinservice for helping me out with it for this season, MUCH APPRECIATED! 🙏🏻❤️

Also a huge thanks to @kumeriusmekanik for helping me out with some stainless sheets in a hurry so we could fabricate a box to protect the generator from water! 🙏🏻

Then we finally got a roof hatch installed in the trailer bathroom, this is something I’ve been on my way to do since we started to use the trailer! 😅 Both to let air in and out the bathroom when using the shower and also to be able to get out if needed! (Hopefully never)

Dad pretty much finished up the new windshield and side windows for the Chevelle, just need to paint the black border and get some decals in place and then install them on the car again! 🪛👌🏻💎

Peter spent Saturday and Sunday with some more transmission school, learned how to get the transmission and converter drive out of the car, we did go through the Bruno converter drive and the converter, he did service our last Lenco and then got it all back into the car again! 🤩
So, the whole driveline is done and ready to make a pass! 😎

Still just a little issue, we got no crankshaft for the engine! 😅

Stay tuned! ✌🏻

It’s time to work on the racing circus again, it

It’s time to work on the racing circus again, it’s a Chevelle, truck and trailer weekend! 🥳

Not much done in the past 2 weeks or so, only thing made is that me and dad have started on the new windshield and side windows for the Chevelle. 💎👌🏻

Peter went by Wednesday evening for some more transmission school, crash course in how to get the transmission and converter drive out of the car and back into it again! 🔧🔩 Feels great that he wants to learn, feels good for me so I might be able to think less about that part of the car when we are at the track this summer! 🤠

This coming weekend will be something special and I’ve been looking forward to it, Krille and Eddie took the long drive down from Sollefteå up north Sweden yesterday to spend the weekend with me and get stuff done on the trailer and on the truck! 😃 And catching up some time together! 🥰

It’s time to finish up some unfinished stuff from last year on the truck and stuff that I’m not satisfied with, install a new generator for the trailer that Krille and Edlunds Maskinservice helped me out with for this season, MUCH APPRECIATED! 🙏🏻❤️ What a great friend, team member and partner all in the same person! 😍

Then we will do some updates on the trailer that I been in my way to do for many years now! 🤩🤓

Stay tuned! ✌🏻

Feels sad to announce that we won’t be at Dala S

Feels sad to announce that we won’t be at Dala Street Open at Dala Järna Raceway with the Chevelle and support my home track and home motor club SHRA Vansbro - Äppelbo in 2025!.. 🙄😢

I want to, BUT!… It’s always a question about money and getting help. Fundings is a thing that you are able to work for yourself and solve so you can get to the track. But before in the shop getting stuff ready and when you are at the track you also need people around you that can help you out, have the interest to spend their free time working on someone else’s stuff because they think it’s a fun thing to do, then you can’t just take a random dude and put into a circus like this! I need to trust the person and the person needs to fit, I see this as my family. You do not let any random person into your family just like that! 🙃

The last 2 years 2023-2024 was fun at Dala Street Open! 🤩🥳 I might be at the race and help out, too early to say anything right now because when I’m going to a track I want to play with my race car.

I have been lucky to be surrounded by great people for a long time! ❤️🙏🏻 But time changes! (Not the great people tho! 😅) But their interests in wasting time on a race track on someone else’s stuff! 😊

I have announced earlier that this will be a strange season and it might not end up like I want to when it comes to attend races, due to a missing crankshaft, money and team. 😬 But that’s life! 😅

I assume time will tell! 🤠

Facebook memories!

Today it’s already 6

Facebook memories! ❤️

Today it’s already 6 years ago since me and Max finished up the last stuff and headed for Santa Pod Raceway in England for the first time! 🤩 I did knew even before we left Sweden that we would set some records, that was the reason I wanted to make some 1/4 mile racing for the first time in 8 years!... 🤠🤘🏻

I really want to go back, would love to be there again with the Chevelle!.. 🙄

It was fun to meet all the great people at Santa Pod in 2024! But I want to go back with the my car and make some 5.7? passes, I know its possible just need to get back there with the Swedish “House Brick On Wheels From Hell” and prove it and make people surprised again! 😲😯😮😵🤣

What a trip and what a memory! 🤩😎💪🏻😍❤️

Sometime in the future, I hope! 🤩💭

The Drag Racing Life!

The Drag Racing Life! 😅🤣😆🤪

At least it’s fun when you get to the track, you meet all your friends and it’s finally time to start play with your race car outside the shop! 😍🤩🥳

It’s still a lot of hard work left to finish things up, but it’s just work! 💪🏻😎 I have a good feeling about next week, it’s gonna be a great one with a lot of progress! 🤠

@krille_edlund will take the long trip down from Sollefteå to help out! ❤️😍🙏🏻

I’m on the entry list for Speedevents Internatio

I’m on the entry list for Speedevents Internationals, June 12-15 2025! At Tierp Arena! 🤠
TD round 1 in the series and first outing for Sjödin Motorsport / ÅBM Racing in 2025! 😎

Do I know today that I will have received the crankshaft in time? NO! 😅
So we can get our engine back together and make some passes? DONT KNOW! 😬

Do I have a plan and want to be there? YES! 😎🥳
Will I work for it if I get the crankshaft in time? YES! 💪🏻😎

Do I do stuff every day to get closer to finished? YES! 🔧🔩🚙

Is it still a lot of work to do on and around the race car, trailer and truck? YES! 😅
Do we need to organize and prepare a lot of things to make it work for real when we get to the track? YES WE DO! 😅

Thing is, I have a goal! I know what I want! I have a plan! Will it work out like I want? Don’t know, future will tell! 🧐
And if it does not work? Well, shit happens! 🙃

But why wait on something if you know what you wanna do? As a race fan I want to know what happens with teams when I can’t see them at the track! Same thing when it comes to the race tracks and organizers, they want to know also! Try to do something and make dragracing better again, for EVERYONE! 🤩

It’s less than 40 days to race start, time to get stuff done! 👌🏻 No half assing around here! 🤘🏻 Stay focused! 👀🕺🏻
