Default March 09 Feature: Todd Akes 69 Camaro

The March 09 Feature of the Month is Todd Akes big block 69 Camaro. It's a bad ass car that quite a few of us got a chance to check it out while in Vegas for SEMA. It has the perfect stance with with slick black paint. It definitely looks right at home under the Vegas lights. I really like the shot with the Vegas Strip in the background - if theres a picture that defines the car's attitude, it would be that one.

Thanks Todd, love the car!

Truely an exceptional 69 Camaro. Nice to see it and hear it in person at SEMA this year. Nothing like the sound of a healthy Rat motor!! Nice work Todd!!

Not only does this car look killer, it has a crisp mean sounding BBC in it. I got a chance to see and hear it at the Lateral G get-together.
