Default Calling all magazine worthy Camaros in SoCal...

So you have a cool car? Cool enough for ink? Well then, post it the hell up.

I am currently scouting cars for the new (and improved, which won't be hard to do since it blows right now) Camaro Performers magazine.

It has a new editor (not me) and will be drastically better now. I am helping him out with stories and with finding cars.

So what do you guys have?

Thanks!

I'm putting my charcoal metallic 35th anniversary stripes on in a couple of days, engine covers and painting the engine bay soon. All before the 10th Here's a few pics as she sits now (last two suck, sorry). 335 Michelin Pilot Sports in the rear, PPG 3 stage paint, no orange peel, 385rwhp 384rwtq, Arizen leather seats. People on here can vouch for my Camaro I've got pics of the process of pulling the engine/tranny too if you'd like them. Let me know what you think, I would looove to get in a magazine!

*EDIT* I just got my stripes and engine bay painted; looks BAD ***! New pics at the end!

Not like his car, it's tires are about 6-7inches off the ground right now for repairs. And my SS has a 1.5" drop on the 17x9.5/11's.

Where did you get those Arizen leather seats, and how much were they?

This one was taken before the hood and turn signals but was a good pic:



Also before the above mentioned mods but a good shot of the foglights:

Emblem on seats

Random pics of exterior:








The rear seats, roll bar and leather inserts aren't seen in thess pics but they are in the car and now that I bought a new camera I can get new pics...

Getting the hood painted and ebony inserts (including seatbelts, carpet, trim panels and console) are next (within a month) on the list...

After all that is done I am getting a MS4 w/CNC ported LS6 cylinder heads and a 3600 Vigilante to finish her off !

Also, I have a friend who is a professional photographer if you want us to just send pics for an article. Let me know if you're interested...
