I have been working on cars for about 22 years & seriously for the last 11 years. I have been fortunate to have had several articles on some of the cars that I've built in the past & current. The first car that I did a complete frame up was my 70 Camaro R/S, it was featured in Car Craft in Nov. 1998 issue. The next car was my 1967 Camaro, that car was a big jump up from my 70. The car had complete front to back Corvette suspension, & LS1, T56. The car was also featured in Car Craft 2005 March issue. I wanted to build something a little bigger for more room for my family, but I also had to top my other builds. I chose to build 1966 Chevelle, but it had to handle exceptionally well, have great power, & have classic looks with comforts. The Chevelle that you see is that car, it performs & drives better than I had hoped for. I am very grateful to all the support of my sponsors listed below in the specs, without them this car would not even be close to being finished. I would also like to thank my wife Tobie for being so supportive of me & my visions. I have started a small business called D & Z Customs LLC. by Randy Johnson.
