Oh, how cute... another resto whatever car. See those things cluttering up So Cal quite a bit. Rolling accessory displays with more gadgets than Pep Boys. Surprised the owner didn't adorn his windshield wipers with bling. Wait... nevermind. In his haste to weigh down his car, he forgot to install the wipers.

D'OH!

I thought it was pretty clean looking ... nice paint job, looked like it was tastefully done.. obviously a lot of effort was put into it... I figured you guys would appreciate it ???

Sorry, Mark... your photography is all good, and someone DID put a lot of effort into that car. I'm just gonna leave it at that. So... how about this killer weather, yes?

 ;D

Weather has been great :)  ... smoked a nice cigar on the drive home today, with the top down on the fruit-mobile.. took some photos.. it was a good day.. except for the whole "having to work" thing that took up too much of the day...

I'm all about differing tastes. I just assumed that this was a Cal Look site. Not low performance resto/stock/over-accessory one. My apologies.

HAHA!! Yeah, that having to work thing does pay for our family, homes, and cars. So there is SOME good to it.

nice photo Mark, but that car is kind of the antithesis of the cars discussed here....
your typical Cal Look car doesn't run that style paint, or the roof rack, or whitewalls, eyebrows.... etc.

but nice thinking of us..... got any pics of Cisek's Chevelle?

Not my flavor either, but it's in Off Topic, so it's fair game, right??

Gotcha.. as far as the Chevelle - as far as I know, he's still got it in a storage unit somewhere in the East Bay.. untouched since after it was painted back in the early 90's .. he got married, had a couple kids, etc.. and the Chevelle took back burner.. WAAAAYY back burner.. for all I know, the mice have completely eaten the interior and wiring.. hahaha

if you talk to John, tell him I said hello. You can tell him I'm still waiting for the chance to race (and beat) him too.  :D
