The editor is Didier Soyeux, he had worked for a long time for a french US&Custom magazine called NITRO, where he completly restored a Camaro some years ago with a lot of good stuff (Brodix, American Racing, ...).
So i think that he knows what he is speaking about.
I will try to find pictures of his yellow Camaro.

Some people think that fitting big wheels on a car makes a Pro-Touring, but it's far away from the truth...


Didier try to create interest in other styles than those we can find here in the old Europe....you can still see Camaros with raised rear, and big tires and graphics ...:rolleyes: like your rednecks.
Overhere, rat rods or 60' style Kustoms ( metalflakes era!!) are very popular amongst the crowd but Pro-Touring and Kruizers ( cars lowered with big wheels ) aren't really known.
This is the first time that a french magazine is so eclectic and i'm very happy to see Pro-Touring inside, i just hope that people here are open minded enough to understand the feeling of these cars and that the poor european PT scene will grow up...:hail:

I think it was in the last issue from the Del Mar coverage. We have like 12 pages in the next issue. I have a copy of the last issue if you want to see your car in the magazine.....HEHE:D
