lol.. no

It was shot in such a way that (to negate reflections like you see in my shot inside the magazine) this caused the paint to look a bit "flat". They tried to adjust the color to look more like my copperish color and missed. Since the pic is more about the message than my particular car they let it go since it fulfilled the need for a bright first gen coming out of a booth.

If you look at the TABLE OF CONTENTS page you will see the small pic of the cover. The color of the car in that pic is actually closer to my color. In fairness to them it is a hard color to get right. I know how to set my camera for it, so my shots tend to come out more correct. I shot the lead spread for the PAINT story and the color is much closer. When in lots of light it looks more like the color in the LS2 install story.

If you look at this pic: http://www.lifeinwidescreen.com/siihp/pennypaint.jpg

that I took and then compare it to the cover you can see what I meant by the color being off. Then again I have a bunch of reflections in my shot.

Steve,
The car looks great (even if the color is off a bit).
I look forward to reading all of the articles starring "Penny".

I received my copy of PHR today. Your are right, it's not that bad. Still some one, some where screwed up.

I have always enjoyed the artistic photography of your puplication. It seems you guys have taken your magazine up a notch in the past couple of years. I was surprised thats all.

Bye the way, excellent work on LS2 transplant article. You are starting to make me believe a novice like myself could go to town on this type of build.

The LS2 install is easy Rodger.. do it.. come on.. you know you want to

I encourage anyone that liked the LS2 install stories (or any other stories) to write the editor and let him know. If not the drag-race cam-install guys will be the only voices heard on magazine direction...
