Actually new to Southern California too. Originally from Illinois, moved out here for work and found out I wasn't going to be as busy with the job as I planned. I haven't touched a custom in 5 years and I'm ready to dive back in. Just picked up a 50 Styleline this week. Bags, gl***, and 4 1/14" white walls are on the way as we speak. Time to get greasy. I'm stoked to get back in the garage and I look forward meeting some like minded people and contributing to this forum. Ryan
