The day after Del Mar this year a photographer from France came by to shoot the truck and take a bunch of pics around the shop. I just wish the article was in English. There are some really cool pics.

The article about the shop, I wish magazines did more shop tours, I like seeing shop tours. He got some awesome shots. Look for Mics SlowMotion Wedged Chevelle. SWEET.

Apparently Brycen was a little camara shy, and had to wear his helmet in the 3rd page. :D

Thanks guys, I just hope they said something positive, cuz I have not any clue what any of that says.

Check out the pic of my dog at the top. Pretty funny.

Don't worry Rodger, I took French in high school. The bad news is I got an F and all those brain cells are nowhere to be found. :D Very cool spread and I agree, shop spreads would be a nice addition to some magazines. I bet they wouldn't do it for free though.

The magazine editors that cover more then just the build of there own personal car every single month are usually glad to do it. But sadly your probably more right then most would be willing to agree. There is always a hidden agenda now days.

Street Rod Builder and Super Rod used to put a yearly shop tour magazine out. I think it was called "on the road". Best magazine ever besides Rodders Journal.

Nice pictures. The truck looks great and John's Nova too.

Shop photos and build shots are always the my favorite.


BUT the Chevelle pictures gave me a little woody. Eight photos, very nice.
I guess the secret tail lights and bumper are no longer secret. Its ok, nobody's gonna copy the tail lights or the bumper. The engine set-back is clear as day in the overhead shot. The interior shot with the Red Bull holders is cool.

It's a deep burn.....

Congrats Roger, that's a great spread. I have a French co-worker who could, but it might be a bit much to have him translate the whole thing. Were you looking for anything in particular?

The Chevelle's looking great Mick. The rake on that thing is amazing and those taillights are going to be awesome. Can't wait to see it fully assembled.

It would sure be nice, But man that would take so much time to translate. It is almost more fun to just make stuff up. :D

I can hardly understand him, let alone go to lunch. You should have heard our phone conversation giving directions to the shop when he got lost. OH MY.

Congrats to Rodger and the guys. Looks like a decent write up on all the builds that were going on at that time. (didnt see any French swear words that stuck out LOL)

Curious, do you have a subscription or did somebody call you from France?

Sweet Rodger!

I speak French -- basically he spent 13 pages saying that the dog is better looking than the owner.

Nope, can't convert it when you scan it as a JPG file. You'd have to scan it as a text (.txt) file before I can open it in Abobe Standard (or Word) and convert it. Then we can drop it into the translator:

www.google.com/translate


Sorry.

I can also send it to a friend who speaks french to convert.

Jim -- a few paragraphs down - it has a more accurate description as I see one paragraph stating that either the dog or the owner has a bad ass...

Seriously -- it's so kool that it would (as it should!) make an INTERNATIONAL magazine! Not many can say that!
