The Commemorative Air Force is looking for help on Saturday mornings

CAF Air Group One and Tuskegee Airmen members take a moment to reflect, in front of the B-17 "Sentimental Journey" during one of its previous stops at Gillespie Field.

If you are in San Diego on Saturday mornings, in Santee or El Cajon... and can stop by Gillespie Field

Air Group One is looking for men and women of all ages who would like to join us in our mission to preserve military aviation history and to honor those who served. We also have a cadet program for those who are under 18 years of age. For more information, stop by our hangar on any Saturday morning and meet the gang!

Exit the 67 on Bradley, head West, make a right on Magnolia, then a left on Airport Rd, then a right on 1860 Joe Crosson Rd Suite B, Stop in at the museum and ask about on what you can do to help.

Hot Rod City ( in El Cajon) went out of business a couple years ago

This is in the showroom, of the now "East County Collision center". How a full race saturn ends up there, minus the drivetrain... no idea. Hot Rod City was a cool place to look around in, full dealership feel to 30's and 40's customs for sale, think of a Good Guys car show where it's all for sale.

Has a car show on Thursday nights

Cruisin' Italiano Style Cruise Night, 5 to 8 p.m., Thursdays, Pernicano's Restaurant, 1588 E. Main St. (at Broadway), El Cajon. Open to pre-1973 classics and hot rods; music and trophies will be included. Information: (619) 338-5225 or (619) 444-4546.

The only place you'll need to take your car for electrical problems

619-444-7850, tell them the yellow 69 R/T sent you. They may not remember,
'cause once they fix it, it doesn't need to come back. I was there 10 years ago for my Super Bee, and 5 years ago for my R/T

317 North 2nd Ave, El Cahon.
East side of the road, just in the middle of Walgreens, McDonalds, and the car wash.

A Hemi Bee roams the roads of San Diego.

Hemi from Summit racing and Indy Cylinder Heads, circa 1998. Crate Motor, and then some.

Look out.

610 HP, 640 Ft / Lbs, Demon Carb, Indy Heads and single plane intake, trunk mounted battery, some extra traction control on the axle, huge exhaust, H pipe, power steering, power brakes, Griffin radiator, a 6 speed Viper trans with 2 over drive gears, fiberglass bumpers, 440 6 pk fiberglass hood in a Road Runner / AAR Cuda rear spring configuration with front hood pins.

This may be the best darn thing to do with a tired old Bee. I know, I had one.

Originally a 383 Bee with a 4 speed. Now even 440 or Hemi correct with the rear side window stainless trim removed. I recall that the 383 bees had the stainless along the bottom of the windows, but the 440 6 pk and Hemi bees didn't, the easy tell, if you were looking for some subtle relatively unmolested item that would give away what it was originally.

WM23H9A251072 just for the curious.
