Peder Landberg from Djursholm north of Stockholm, Sweden, a school teacher, needed something to do during the long summer vacation.
He started to build using a fibreglass T23 replica reinforced and with a door on the right side.
From start he used a frame from an A-Ford but thought it was rather weak, so he build a new using 400x80x3 mm steel tubing.

The Hot Rod is equipped with a chrome I-beam front end with Jaguar disc brakes.

The engine is a 312 ci Y-block from Ford with an 11" Zoom clutch and a Toploader gearbox. The rear end is a 12-bolt Chevy with 3.31 ratio.

The car was approved thanks to it could be registered as a truck!

Peder used he car a lot during summer time on vacation camping trips and golfing.

It also got a role in the movie film Ägget är löst as a toy car for the main character played by Gösta_Ekman

Peder moved to Skåne and brought the car with him. He still (2022) owns the car and is a frequent visitor at meetings!

It is now painted red and the engine has been swapped to a smallblock Chevy.
