Pick-n-Pull is a subsidiary of Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc., a global leader in the metals recycling industry that has been in business for over a century.

MARTIN LUNDQVIST'S 1932 FROM SWEDEN  

IS AT SACRAMENTO VINTAGE  

We have Martin Lunquist's 1932 Ford Coupe on display in our lobby for you to enjoy.  Martin and friends are out of Stockholm, Sweden and started their cross country trip on the East Coast.     

Look for Martin's 1932 at the Grand National Roadster Show in January 2015 and at the Sacramento Autorama in February 2015.

Martin did all the work on this 1932 himself with the exception of the paint and chrome. Tomas Landberg did the paint. Martin even designed and casted the wheels!  

He also fabricated all the entire undercarriage except for the rails and front crossmember. Martin cut the holes in the 5" drop front axle with a waterjet.

Body is an original 1932 Ford. He reshaped a 1937 German Adler grille in all directions to fit the stock 1932 grille shell. The dash from a 1937 Lincoln Zephyr was also  

reshaped and...... reshaped to fit the coupe.  

He retained the Lincoln-Zephyr gauges.

Rearend is a Currie 9" with Strange Aluminum center and 11" Buick style drums.

 Back to the wheels....he made the model for the wheel centers and then cast the final product. The outer hoops were provided by Mike Curtis, then Martin welded the hoops and centers together.

Martin also crafted the door handles, casted the license plate frame, water jet cut the tail lamp bezels (they use modified 1950 Pontiac tail lamp lenses) and finished them all to match the wheels. The hood center strip and grille nose bezel also match. 

The very special signature on the drivers side is a copy of Martin's Dads signature. They had started the project about 6-7 years ago and had completed the chassis, when his Dad, experienced a heart attack and passed at the very young age of 61.

SURF CITY GARAGE  PRODUCTS

So where did Surf City Garage detailing products  

come from?

Well, to keep the cars looking great, we tried every car care product around, but I just wasn't satisfied with the quality or performance. So we developed our own complete line of Enthusiast Grade� detailing products -- recognized around the world as the best anyone can buy. Our guarantee: if these aren't the best products you've ever used, give me a call and I'll personally buy them back - is unmatched in the industry.  

That's why, every day, more and more enthusiasts are switching to Surf City Garage Enthusiast Grade� - because nothing else even comes close.
