LUV's Cali Blazer
OK, you've thrown around the same pics for awhile now, time to start makin' some progress. j/k, just sifting through all the extra parts you got took over a month. :p I'm jealous.
One of the cleanest blazers I've seen to date! Yep, I've had the pleasure/fortune to see this one in person, NICE RIDE Craig! Oh yeah, happy b-day. |
