OK OK OK I am here.  Been looking but now signed in.  My name is Marten and I am starting to build my dream project.  Actually it is my first time building any hot rods.  I am building a '53 Ford pickup using a 350 Chev motor with just over 400hp.  And make it all handle it has a C4 Corvette suspensions system on it.  Bought it from a guy in the USA.  Not sure how much I can help others in this world as it is all new to me.  I am a self employed carpenter so in the construction and renovation world there I can help for sure.

I am a self employed carpenter.  Doing work in both the commercial and residential sectors.   Residential is all renovations, kitchens, bathrooms and basements are the big 3 there.  I will also do installations of flooring, windows, doors, trim, etc.  My project is a '53 Ford pickup with a Corvette suspensions system and a 400 hp Chevy small block.  That is my dream and now am starting to fulfill it.

Hi fleet 51. You are one of the close ones. If you ever come near Richmond, would like to have you stop by. Beer is always cold. Hot drinks are always hot.
