Cali,68,L-79

It's been 1 year since that fateful night but Cali - 1 was started and is weeks from completion and back on the road. Joe's work is flawless and brings a tear to my eye.

I went and saw Cali 1 after Joe had taken the front off. She sure was a mess.
Looking Good Joe!
David, I am sure we could find you somewhere to stay if you did make it over. Show you where the beers kept, all that sort of thing.

Thanks for the compliments guys but the alcalades go to Joe and his shop. Dawg those are Eagle Allot type 77 (17x8 to 17-10) Tires are Dunlop 255/45/ZR17.

The night in question was Sunday May 25th, 2003 when some rich SDSU student (bitch) decided her right to drink and drive was more important than my right to live and almost killed me and Cali-1. I survived after 4 months of chiropractor treatment but alas Cali -1 was a total write off and there went a 5- year long restoration down the tubes. Joe bought her off me and shipped her to Australia where she is being brought back from the dead. The insurance paid for Cali-2 and $$ down for my new house. See pics of wreck on my homepage.

When this mess in Iraq is over and time allows I might travel and end up visiting you and Joe. Would be honored to sit behind the wheel again.
