Hello all,

My name is Eric Jankowski and I recently entered my 1972 Malibu in Optima Batteries Full Ride Competition. I am one of five finalists for the top prize of a $50k vehicle upgrade, as well as an unveiling at SEMA, and appearance on Dream Car Garage on Speed TV. I am humbly asking for support from this community to help me take home the prize.

Now, I fully realize that it is entirely selfish for me to make this request, but please allow me to give you a little background. I've been a muscle car (and Chevy) guy my whole life. My dad started the obsession by taking me to car shows and drag races and telling me stories about all the cool cars he had when he was a young man. I've wanted a Chevelle since before I could even drive. I earned a commission and entered the service right out of college. I was stationed in Germany for 3 years, then Iraq for one LONG year, and am now back stateside. I am an active member of Team Chevelle and have always planned on taking the car the Pro-Touring route. I've never posted here because I am still in the crawl stages of the resto-mod process.

I've done some snooping on the internet and it seems like the only other finalist with any momentum is the Dodge Neon. So if you would like to support my campaign, please check out www.optimafullride.com Thanks so much for your time.

Eric
