    So-Cal Cuda
    « on: November 11, 2015 - 12:08:12 AM »
    Hi,
    It's been 3 years since I 1st brought her home.
    When I got her she was in pieces and barely a roller.
    I avg apx 30 hours a week working on her,  plus my normal 40 hour job. :o
    If it wasent for this awesome forum I would still be working on her.
    I have apx 1500 miles on her now and its been a total gas driving her  :burnout:
    If interested keep an eye out for my build thread  :icon16:
    Enjoy
