Default Camaro Performers Magazine feature!!

Well, I wanted to say a big thanks to Nick Licata and Chris Shelton for the feature in Camaro Performers magazine. It's been a dream of mine to have a car featured in a magazine like this.

Nick made it happen, and I want to thank him for that. To all that don't know it's not easy to get a photoshoot done on a car when you are north of the border and not in the Southern US or East coast.

Chris was a true professional and I think you can see in his photos and his write-up. Real funny, great guy to hang out and chat with (and work with!) and I really appreciate him making the trip up here to do the shoot and scout locations.

I just didn't have the time to head south for a magazine shoot especially with my recent business move.

It is a true honor to grace the pages with such great cars and builds like many members of this site and others. Pretty proud for my first build mostly done in my garage with help from many good friends.

Anyways, here are some photos and make sure to buy this issue!!

Ryan I just wanted to tell you that I love your car! I haven't looked at it and the pictures you have up and the youtube videos many many times. Your car is so perfect! Your car is a true inspiration to the 69' that I am building. It may never get done or be anywhere as nice as yours turned out but I can dream. Congratulations!!!! I can't wait to buy the issue.

Absolutely beautiful car Ryan.

Your car caught my attention as soon as I got my latest issue of CP. The color is so deep and is perfect.

Thanks everybody, it never would have happened without all the help from this site.

The hours on end spent researching the swap, and I am so glad I did it.

And just another thanks to Nick and Chris for putting this together!

Every picture made my mouth drop more and more until I saw the FRC....

Now tell me people (because I know this is not the only case) why you would want a very very nice fully restored CAMARO and then when you pop the hood for people, you get to see CORVETTE written really big? The covers do look nice under the hood and gives a more clean apperance but atleast get ones with camaro written on there or blank ones or something. I know its ur car, do what you want, and its obviously loved by many, including myself, because who doesnt want to have a beautiful 1st gen but it just seems tacky to have corvette written under the hood of an amazing camaro?

Or is it just to say you have a corvette engine under there?
