Car looks great! I haven't got my issue yet though,

Did they shoot it at a Super Chevy event?

Thanks guys. I have been really anxious to see what it was going to look like. A friend got the magazine about a week earlier than me and he shot me a email that it was on the cover. I figured it was the top corner shot. Anyway its a great feeling when I saw the cover shot and probably something I won't be able to duplicate.

The shifter boot was made out of ultraleather by the interior guy and the ring is just cut out of sheet aluminum. I found that hurst sells an aluminum shifter rod which is which is a utility grade part but I like the matte finish.

Sweet car... I think my color scheme will be just the same - but opposite...

Hey Tom very nice car!Can you post some more pics and info about it?

Sorry forgot to answer MM

I showed it at Super Chevy in Dallas and the asst editor of SS Dakota Wentz (24 year old guy) came up to me and explained that he hadn't planned on doing any specific shoots but would be interested if I would help him that evening. Hell ya

All he could find for a background was a gravel road in the parking lot of the Ennis drag strip which I thought would be a strike against me for getting an article.

I know car sits a little low but if you look at SS articles thats what they like. My car has good clearance even with 3" exhaust. If I drag it will be the tail end of the subframe rails. I have 1" lowering blocks on the back and coilovers on the front so it can be raised really easy. Don't know if I'll do it though. It looks too mean.

Side Note: Dakota was to drive the Goodmark camaro from LA to Dallas but the car still has some gremlins. Left it at a ghetto shop somewhere in AZ

Congrats Tom.
I just saw your car for the first time in the "members" section. Now here you are again. That looks like the best pic so far.
