WILLY STEEL

My name is Jonas Naessen, 41 years young. I live in Jamtland, Sweden.

I've been a car nut ever since my older brother bought a 1967 Corvette when I was 15 years old. I started to help him out (the best I could) when he was working on the car. After he and I fitted a 454 LS7 Chevy big block under the hood I was addicted to speed and power...

At 17 I bought a 1966 Chevy Nova with a 327 running on 6 cylinders but it was the best my budget could afford at the time.
It had quite a lot of room for improvement though...
It finally ended up as a street racer with a 530 hp 350 cui, TH400 and Chrysler 8 3/4" rearend.

When I was 22 I went to California and started to work for Boyd Coddington and that was when I really started to love Hot Rods (even though there was a lot of billet aluminum on the cars at that time...)
Now a days I prefer the old school style and the gasser look.

Today I have a 1915 Ford T Roadster (which I have had since 1990, time sure does fly...), a 1933 Ford Roadster and a 1933 Ford 3w Coupe.

I also have a bunch of project cars.

Otherwise I have 3 kids, a lady, and in the quite limited spare time, I actually enjoy fly fishing!
