anyone need an automotive machinist/engine builder

[Mike Phillips]

I am 60 years old, my wife is retired and I am looking for a position in the performance automotive field in the Caribbean. We visited Aruba on a cruise last year and of all the places we have been, Aruba is by far the best.
I am the current owner of Automotive Machine & Performance in Philpot, KY. USA. We currently machine, port and flow heads, assemble and dyno tune American V-8 engines. I would like to find someone that would need my services and experience for some sort of race team, land or sea.
I would consider selling or moving my entire operation.
I know this is a dream but you can never achieve one without trying.

I know for sure it's needed. Could you move it here? Don't know -
think you'd have to contact an Aruban attorney on that one.

If you need a name PM me or i'm sure someone on the board
might know someone.

I doubt very much whether or not you would be able to get a work permit. The government does not generally give out work permits to foreigners your age, or for that matter, at any age. You would be better off contacting a company that does the paper work for people seeking such permits to see what your chances would be.
