    I live in Petaluma, not too far from you or Hot August Nights. I doubt my truck will make it there this fall(it has a long way to go, but I will try to be there, and maybe my neighbor will drive his stock 67 vette! Anyhow welcome aboard! Steve.

    Hey man, I'm in Santa Monica.....not that far away. Just curious of you know of affordable media blasting in our neck of the woods? I have a quote from Hot Rods and Custom Stuff but they are in Escondido which isn't very close to me.

    Check with the crew at Hot Rods and Hobbies in Signal Hill or Starlight Garage in Torrance. Gardena also has West Wild Customs. They probably know someone or can do it themselves. Bunch of guys meet every Friday night at "Ricky and Ronnies" in Torrance for dinner. Bob Barnes from "Verns Chrome Plating" often times shows up. He knows everybody. We also meet for coffee, every Saturday morning at Hawthorne and Artesia in Torrance, 7 am. Bob shows up there too.

    Do you know Oak? I bought his old car.

    Ken I'll be in Orange in April, and if the offer is good then, I'd love to see your car. My sister - in -law is getting married on the 26th of April, and lives believe it or not in Orange! Steve.
