gotheframe’s 1967 Volvo Amazon

[jonaskvale77]

Wow this is awesome. I love the way it looks, especially with that color!

The Amazon is now off the blocks on its own wheels for the first time in 5 months.
Ride height


Aired out


Pics are from a video so not best quality and the first one looks off level but its in the process of airing out. Test drove it, needs a couple things worked out like exhaust, brakes, and alignment. So excite!

This is so beautiful. I love the skinny wheels on those steelies

Thanks! A lot more thought went into it than I convey here.

Made a lot of progress.

Ran into an issue with the smoothies fitting once the car was dropped so I had to make the repainted oem steelies work even though the widths are different. Running the 4.5"widths in back and placing the 4"widths in front. Then the remaining 4.5" wheel will go back in the trunk for a spare.
The Vredestein Sprint Classics came in - 155/80. Super skinny. Didn't want to run this circumference since its 7/8" taller than the tires on the Smoothies but I like the classic tire on the steelies.



Since these are oem wheels I have a variety of centers to chose from. I've ran smoothies for a while and wanted something different so I picked up some center caps for the steelies from VP Autoparts.


Also got the front suspension buttoned up.


This is how the car sits right now.


Next up, notching the rear seat floor to accommodate the drive shaft and figuring out the exhaust.

I have Autostrada Modena in my browser history. Not done a pshop tho.

Maybe some Snowflake....

Which one’s?

I would love some 17" ExtremeOffset smoothies with a bug smooth chrome hub cover on this

Would like to see a pic of the setup with “bug covers”.

Some 17 or 18" banded steelies with Volvo moon caps would suit this so well IMO.

There’s a wagon owner that split stock steelies and converted to 3pc. They’re glorious.

Got to figure out what I want to do with wheels. Any suggestions?

Got the rear axle back in (woo hoo!)

Ran into some issues with the wheel spares I had. I have (2) 4"widths and (3) 4.5" widths. Weird.

But here's a picture tucking 15" wheels in the rear, which would never happen because the frame would be on the ground.

Waiting for the rearend to be rebuilt to move forward on air suspension so got the front seat webbing replaced.
