    Hi everybody!

    I have been reading this site for a while and today I decided to register. I'm current owner of this 1962 Merc --> http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=378848

    There's gonna be some changes in look. Throw some Watson style paint job and little hop up for that inline six. But what's important, it should be a daily driver in summer. Winter sucks by the way but then is good time to build up some cool cars.

    And me...I'm Jarno, 30 years old guy, lovely wife and three kids, big house and too small garage, I work in local body shop as a painter. Totally in rockabilly music etc... :D

    Far as I know it didn't start in Finland, allthough we have here very strong rockabilly scene now days. Rockabilly sure is from States... ;)

    It's nice to be a part of the big family!
