Long day of shooting.. We had a hired gun come in to shoot a cover for PHR. It's a paint and body issue and we needed an appropriate image.

What they wanted was a bright colored car in a paint shop.. well, I knew of one... so... I volunteered.. lol

The guys at Best Of Show paint were great and put up with 6+ hours of moving this car here and that car there for the shots. Randy Lorentzen shot the car and employed a good $30,000 in camera equipment to get it done. It was cool to watch.

Anyways, spent the morning getting her ready for hte shoot. About the only thing I forgot was to bring the front spoiler. Now I can send the wheels off to get modified for the C5 junk.

Just an overall fun day of cars and talking smack.. :thumbsup:

That can't be a real working body shop... I mean where's all the body filler sanding dust all over the ground and car...and where are all the other cars in various stages that "will only take 5 weeks to complete?" :P

Actually BOS is a really clean shop.. and they only have the cars they are working on. It's why I took my car there in the first place.

That thing is awesome Steve. I'm bringing my car down in the spring so they can play and frolic together. That didn't sound gay did it?
Are you going with no front bumper?

Great shot. So, I'm guessing the car is done? What issue is it going to be in? :unibrow:

Ha! not even.. still need to wire the guages, align, tune, rebuild the front wheels to the right size/offset, do the interior and a host of other minor deals. But she is getting close.

The car, the photography, the setting... awesome, just awesome. :bow:

Thanks.. you know it looks WAY more perfect in the pics than in person. The paint booth shot was just a cool location that Randy picked. I can't wait to see what HIS shots look like.

One shot he did went all Vegas.. there were lights popping off everywhere and he used colored gels on some of the lights.

Woot, indeed. Looks really good Steve. Will make an awesome cover shot, and no doubt will help to move a lot of newsstand issues. It will really "pop"... -Rob

I didn't take it.. Randy did on his friggine 16mp camera :drool:

I'm thinking poster if it's not used in the story.. lol

The big flash bulbs cost $350 for just the bulb.. photography equipment is so crazy priced..

Steve you have it bad! I don't know how you would survive not being in the media business. LOL :lol:

Now, kidding aside... the car has come along ways in a short time. You are the real deal. :bow:
