Man, I'm so stoked, I got the mail today and there's my car on the cover of Camaro Performers. On top of that, the feature is 8 pages long including the centerfold pullout poster deal. Thanks Nick and Steve!! It's so much more than I was hoping for.

I don't have a scanner, so I took some crappy pics of the article so I could post it. The photographs that Rob McGaffin took are incredible. Amazing work. The photographs have to be seen in the magazine to be appreciated. The article is fun, and even mentions my son, Zack. Great writing, Steve. Thank you so much.

Oh, and the mailman is getting fired. lol

Scott you have so deserved these accolades. The car is amazing. I remember when you first started this site and how I dreamed about your car since I had just sold one similar to yours at the time. It has been great to see your site AND your car grow over the years. I too bought the 69 I have now when my youngest was born in 99. So I now what you mean by part of the family. Again, congrat's on the cover/feature I'm sure there are more to come. :hail:

Very nice car, it's always rewarding to see your own car in print.

The best part is walking through the grocery store, and seeing your car on the shelf.

This is well deserved and along time coming. Look forward to reading the article. Way cool with a mention of Zach also. I know what Zach is taking to school for sharing! :thumbsup:

Hey, just because Scott posted the story DOESN'T mean you guys don't have to buy it on the newstand!!! lol

If our Pro-Touring type issues do well then it's easier for us to do them in the future. :yes:


Congrats on the Ink Scott.. the car is killer and when combined with Robert's photography it was a no brainer for long feature.

Enjoy the moment, as a bonus your moment lasts a bit longer since this issue stays on the stand longer (and is handed out at SEMA)

It was fun working on it and I'm glad you were surprised, it was hard keeping the secret. :)

Steve, where will they be handing them out? Gotto get one. How about the G PARTY??? That way we can get Scotts Autograph. I went to the local Advance store and Giant, nothing on the shelf. I signed up but I don't think I'll get the issue.

Let me see if I can score some for the party..

A few hundred will be handed out at the Source Interlink booth in the hot rod hall...

They may not be on the newstands yet.. subscribers get them first.

Scott,
It was an easy decision for your car to be on the cover. And who wouldn't want a red '69 as a poster for their garage? Seriously!
Robert, as usual, came through with some killer photography.

See you in Vegas,

Wow Scott,

I couldn't tell you how excited I was when I got the magazine.

Your incredible car was on the cover.

I actually took it with me to McDonalds Night with the Kids so I could show someone / anyone and tell them that I new you.

Man awesome job on the car, Steve awesome job on the article & Robert Awesome pictures.

ps - what also makes this special is the camarorsx.com rendering is in the mag on page 19. So when it get's framed i'll have an awesome cover to look at.

It sucks when we find one and it's nowhere near us or a freelancer. I would get one to do build stories on but smog laws in CA makes it hard to do (invest the $$ in).

Hey, just because Scott posted the story DOESN'T mean you guys don't have to buy it on the newstand!!! lol

If our Pro-Touring type issues do well then it's easier for us to do them in the future. :yes:


If it helps your argument any, you have a new subscriber specifically because of the pro-touring issues. I've always picked up a copy here or there, but I'll fully support a mag that runs stories I'm interested in. PHR seems to skirt the issue with a few stories here or there. When I saw that I signed up. Now that you can subscribe to CP, I'm on board as well.
