I must chastise you for being so selfish. You have this really cool car that get magazine cred and you rarely share pics with us. Shame on you!

Congrats Johnny.

Thanks again Tony, Dave, Rich, Adrian, Chris,Sean, Ahmed,Bill and to the others who wished me well. I don't know your name or I forgot

The magazine isn't the cheapest ($6.99)

One of the cooler things was this rolling shot. They had this long pole with suction cups that they attached to the hood. It looks like the car is going fast, but in reality it was going like 3mph.

Great question.... It really is "who ya know"

The first mag was all thanks to EndlessUSA. They had a good relationship with PAS mag and saw my car and decided to shoot it.

The second shoot was because of Junction Produce. I was in VIP CAR and VIP style. That was unreal, had 2 full pages to myself. VIP CAR followed me around Tokyo Auto Salon asking me what i liked.

This shoot was because of Falken tires. I did SEMA for them on the east coast and plenty of photographers were going around and the rest was history.

Make good friends with the right people and you will be on your way.

Congrats my SBM brother! (I guess my car is sort of Spectra Blue still... )

So, you're making more changes? I thought you were unloading the GS to to the "other" project... are you doing both? I can't wait to see the latest incarceration of the GS. These cars are never really 'finished,' but I suspect that soon both of us will get our cars as close to done as they will ever be...

See you at SEMA? I'll PM you with my cell if you done have it. I'll be there Wed/Thurs/Fri
