Default Now I know why I live in CA...

...because the weather is so freakin' sweet. The rest of the fam complains about crappy weather where they live, and I just send them pics I take showing warm days and blue skies. Speaking of which, some are below of my non-LSX BBC Chevelle.

Thanks for the kind words. The color is so hard to show off on film or digital media without the right light. We took a huge gamble mixing HOK paint up to get the color you see...these do a pretty good job showing the depth.

Thanks, although the purists would refer to it as a 'restification'. The big brakes came after the car was finished and I had trouble stopping the car on the original 1-piston front disc/rear drum brakes it had. It gets to 100 mph real fast, now it stops as well as my C6 does, and almost handles as well.
