Stimulating your economy!!!!

[xpsled]

Hey guys im coming to the U.S. in Aug/Sep and will be spending some time in LA, San Fran and Vegas. While im there i want to buy a heap of parts for my 65 Falcon ie. Air Ride Shockwaves, big brakes, floater kit, who knows maybe even a pro charger if i win in Vegas!!!!
I also want to buy a heap of hand tools, power tools and metal fabrication tools.
I dont want to land at LAX and be wasting time trying to figure out where to go, so some local knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Any ideas whatsoever would be great, that way i can do my research before i leave!!!
Last but not least any car shows on between 27 Aug and 7 Sept in the LA, San Fran or Vegas area that would be worth visiting???
Thanks for your help!!!!!
