Default Sabs

I know that Sabs is well known for their expertise with wheel repair but I just discovered that they also have a paint and body shop. Does anyone know if their paint and body skills are as good as their wheel repair skills?

There ain't many modified Z over here, I've seen nothing but stock
Everything is up in Houston.

Hmm... JTran meet, sounds cool since the weather cleared up.

right outside houston city limits, i'm attending uti in august so i live a few minutes away from there, close to 1960.

i'm actually about to go back to jtran today, i had UR lightweight pullys and new belts put on friday and then friday night my ac stopped working, the ac belt was shredded to pieces at the bottom of my engine bay so no ac in a blacked out car and my drivers window motor is going out so i have been driving my other car latly.

after i found out that the belt was gone i had to drive it home still so i did a pull from 60-105 when i shifted to fourth going around 80 the slip light came on and the engine bogged down a little bit then took off again, ive never had to turn my vdc light off doing a that fast of a pull! and i wasn't racing just testing out new parts lol

I daily drive with it on, but anything "spirited" and it comes off.

Definitely a must-do when ya go to the track. Would rather have my rear end slip out a lil bit than the throttle get cut.

Traction control can almost get you killed if you hop out in some traffic and a tire slips. Hate when that happens.

i've had the car almost 8 months, its sad when you can remember the date you bought your z and forget why the hell you went to the grocery store

i turn it off when i drive spiritedly but i just would have never thought it would slip doing that high of a pull but i glad to know it can.

i have a mustang and it doesn't have traction control and when it rains i cant keep it from slipping, its an auto and it sometime randomly shifts going around turn and i just lose traction and slid but its never really bad and i never actually lose control of the car.

so where is this cars and coffe?
