Default introduction

hey guys, first time posting in the western section. just moved to san diego from houston tx.

hoping to bring my LS1/72 Formula and 93 Camaro (v6 to cammed LS swap) out to some meets and meet some cool people. it's crazy how many muscle cars are in this city.

anyway, just wanted to give a short introduction and see where everyone met up in the sd area.
