Re: my first c10 custom
I use live in Mesa arizona and I got to experience back in 1995 120-122* weather it was not nice at all I am not kidding. I had a Black car w/ black limo tint all the way around did not help it that day. I remember on hot summer days the streets being Lonely and Malls being crowded. I don't miss that all.

Re: my first c10 custom
My thermo on the back fence indicated 108°F here in DFW w/our 'mild' 60+% humidity. At least your heat is dry..... (isn't that what they say??) . We're currently @ 82°F/62% humidity.

Re: my first c10 custom
Oh yeah I remember. My electric bill was always $200 to $250 for an apartment. Don't miss that at all. Other than the heat it is a nice place to live. Homes a lot more affordable too.

This is the first week of real sun we have had......it's so bad if i have something sand blasted i have 45 mins before it rusts.....lol. When it's sunny I feel so much more motivated and get things done, when it rains for days i don't even want to open the shop doors.

Re: my first c10 custom
If I was in AZ, I'd have AC in the garage. Not much different than heating one up north here. Not cheap, but worth it. We live for our summers, as brief as they are. Once the temps start climbing into the 50's and 60's in the spring, I don't want to be inside anymore.
I've never been in a pro street style car or truck. How do they handle on the freeway?

Re: my first c10 custom
Dino, you could always relocate up here to the white mountains of northern Az... It only got down to -25 last winter. Those kind of temps are good for my plumbing company but that kind of work sucks after you get a little wet but after 30 years of the Az summers, crawling around in peoples attics, these winters are nothing. Daytime highs are in the low 90's during the summer up here but it's nice in the evenings. What do I have to do to get those stocker hub caps off ya?
