New guy from Finland
Hey all!
Been watching other stuff for a while and now its time to sep up: Name is Juhani and I'm a boostaholic I'm 36, live in Finland, Europe, I'm a welder, a machinist and a carpenter for a living. Been buildind cars, engines past 20 years.. Love them all: huffers, turbos but not so much centrifugal. Havent built PT car yet but my next will be. I have candidate already: '70 Dodge SuperBee, gonna stuff brand new gen3 Viper engine in w/turbos. But all that is still ahead. I have the engine already. Body is outside in snowbank waiting me to get other cars out of the door. Building now '70 camaro with blown bb stroker and '65 Stang ragtop restoration in my own hand build 1100sqft garage. Hope you all will understand me english and love to be a member. I'm just blown away by all the talent in here.:hail: Let's all bend and weld some metal. :thumbsup: From cold and snowy Finland, Juhani |
Welcome and looking forward to the Bee build.

Hey Juhani, WELCOME to the site!! I am part Finnish on my Dad's side of the family, so I'm always quick to welcome a fellow suomalainen!
Do you have any pictures of the Camaro or any of the other cars that you can post? Scott |
Kiitos paljon! Cherish your roots. It's valuable thing. Finnish people always find another Fin where ever around globe. And we are small country, 5.5M people.
