    Hello everyone!

    My name is Jonas Naessen and I'm 41 years young ;).
    I live in Jamtland, Sweden.

    I've been a car nut ever since my 8 year older brother bought a 1967 Corvette when I was 15 years old. Before that I had just read his Hot Rod and Car Craft Magazines.
    I started to help him out (the best I could :eek:) 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...:D

    At 17, I bought a 1966 Chevy Nova, with a 327 that was running on 6 cylinders :eek:, but it was the best my budget could afford at the time.
    It had quite a lot of room for improvement though...:rolleyes:
    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, for some time, and that was when I really started to get into Hot Rods (even though there was a lot of billet aluminum on the cars at that time...:eek::eek:)
    Now a days I'm totaly into the traditional old school style and the g***er 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 great kids, a fantastic lady, and in my quite limited spare time, I actually enjoy fly fishing!:eek:

    Take care
    Jonas :)
