Awesome. Thanks guys. I'm getting more and more excited about the trip. Juantejeda, the link is great. More for the list!

So its gone quick and in a few days i'll be L.A. bound. Really, I cant wait. I have a few bucks to spend at Pomona swap, looking for 1970's muscle. I would love some opinions from anyone that has bought cars from Pomona. Or any other places in LA to pick up classics.
Then we are onto San Fran, down to
San Diego and then out to Vegas for SEMA,
If anyone knows any good rod shows that have come up, I would appreciate the heads up.

Hi Stu, I recently returned from the same trip, so if you like give me a buzz on 0438921081 and I can give you some tips.

By the way Jaun is right, we did TJ and I was most uncomfortable the entire time, and was even body searched coming back into the US, not a great experience for and Aussie...I asked why they picked me, told it was random but they added my black moustache and olive skin didnt help!!!

Growing up in New Mexico I visited Jaurez many years ago. As the other guys said I'd stay out of Mexico. The crime is mostly drug and cartel related crime, and is directed at the law enforcement, political figures, and of course other gangs. You rarely hear of tourist having trouble - still, it's a mess and nothing really worth while to see and do. A friend and his wife vacationed down in the Baja area a year ago - they drove. On the way back they were forced off the road by a vehicle and 3 armed guys. They took their phones, wallet and purse. The thugs basically sat about ten miles outside of a small town and waited for their other friend in the town to call them and describe a lone vehicle to heist.

Also in Burbank: Hollywood Hot Rod ( Troy Ladd ) and next door: Old Crow where they build it as in the Good ´ol Days. I have been to Troy before, and he is a super nice guy who build realy great cars.
