Swede Newb signing in... again :)
It seems the forums went south for a while there, good thing theyre back!
Im a noob from sweden, and I am in the planning stages of my first hotrod (or whatever its called, im very bad at terminology)

Thoughts are welcome, and I am looking forward to getting to know all of you
