Nice work. always nice when the discs get painted.
Are the hoses going to the master cylinder proper brake fluid rated ones?

That thing just looks right... the early '80s are a highly underrated period of Cal-Look style these days. Someday I wanna get out to O.C. again and see this thing in person.

My car is what it is, maybe not Cal Look per the books, but it's more than most.

Come on down any time and I'll give you a ride.
I have a bunch more pics that I wanted to post but last time I tried was when The Lounge was having the problem with uploads.

This is the way we rolled into Bug-In 31 leading 40 Cal-Looks into the show. Me leading as DKK President with Bill as my VP.
I m forever grateful to Rusell for allowing us to recreate this memory at Bug-In 43.

In August I decided to retrace the route from the story I told Keith and he included in his 2nd book on Cal-Look. This is where the entrance to OCIR went under the Santa Ana Freeway. Last time this car was here was in October 1983.
