My introduction...

So! Yeah... insomnia...

I'm Matt, moving to Daytona Beach from Orlando. Grew up in central FL (lakemary, altamonte springs).
I own/operate a landscaping business that covers all of volusia county and some northern seminole area...
I have been a Ford lover since my dad said he hated them.. erred yeah.
I attended KSU in Kansas and got a BA in business communication and a minor in physics. Awesome waste of money... while there I built my first beast...83 f350 dually bbf. Rebuilt the motor stock with low compression pistons, port and polish, high rise wieand intake, holley 800cfm carb and a 125 zex fogger... I used it to pull a five head horse.trailer... winters it pulled cars in snow.

Now! I drive a 87 f150 I6 300. Granny 4spd pulls my 5000lb trailer daily. Have done repairs. Explain when I'm not exuasted.

Matt
