It's time to vote for the 2027 wall calendar. Choose your favorite 8 photos. Remember, you only get one chance to vote, so pick your 8 carefully. So you might be asking, if there are going to be 12 winners + 1 cover, why only vote for 8? The answer is to avoid too many ties. With only 17 photos...

A huge thanks to everyone that submitted photos this year! Here is a link to preview them: https://californiaspecial.com/calendar2027.html I will start the voting thread tomorrow. If you submitted a photo, but don't see it, contact me ASAP.

Yes, I got both your photos. Steve, I replied to you Sept 1st. Doug, I replied to you yesterday afternoon.

I just got back in town late yesterday, and I emailed everyone back who submitted a photo. We have more than 12 this year (yea!) so I'll start a voting thread tomorrow.

Sounds good. Thanks!

Just a reminder on this everyone. We currently only have 2 photos!

Hard to believe, but it's already time to start submitting photos for the next CS.com wall calendar! So here's the official call for entries. Please submit your photo no later than Sun Oct 18, 2026. We'll all vote on the photos and the top 12 will be used. They'll be on sale in time to get...

Congrats! Hard to tell the value of those items when they don't get sold very often.

I also haven't had one fall off in probably 30 years. And my Bronco sits outside all through AZ summers of 120+ deg days. I just use the Permatex kit at the local parts store. And yes, cleaning both surfaces is key. Use a razor blade to be sure all the old adhesive is off the glass, then just...

I also had it in my mind that the stripe kits were pre-trimmed to match the angle of the wheel openings. But I just pulled out my Graphic Express kit (which I should be installing soon) and all the edges are square. As Ruppstang says, they will be easy enough to cut. I've attached a scan of...

Reviving this really old thread to post my results with ordering LED tail lights from superbrightleds.com Per another thread, I ordered 6 of the red (so 3 2-packs) bulbs to replace the factory 1157's. I also ordered a flasher to replace the stock one under the dash, but turns out I didn't need...

Here are some photos that might help: https://californiaspecial.com/forums/threads/lucas-fog-lights-assembly-reference-photos.14959/

I don't like the thick Mechanix type gloves for most tasks. They're too bulky. But I always use cut resistant gloves when cleaning up parts on my grinder/wire wheel. I have a pair hanging right there. I use cheap latex gloves if I'm handling anything greasy. The Harbor Freight or Amazon ones...

Thanks. That was my question as well. The link you provided defaults to amber (not your fault. That's just how their web site is set up) and I knew amber wasn't the right color.

Correct. Arizona does not require front plates. So he has a rear AZ plate, and then a front CA plate for some reason. I believe technically that's legal since we don't require a front plate here, but seems confusing for law enforcement.
