Congratulations!
2 beautiful Z/28s.. :thumbsup:

wow i'll look for it when my issue comes in the mail.

Cool. the yellow one has been my wallpaper at my work computer ever since I saw it. Can't wait to pick up the mag... I'll just pin it next to the 'puter.

Good for you bud :thumbsup:

69 is my favorite year Camaro, but your 70 is one nice looking car

John's an okay guy and all...LOL

Congrats on the upcoming ink:beers:

Now, quit surfing the internet and tell me why I should buy a new Ford Super Duty truck! :D

Yes, if I remember John also has a Red Chevelle right? The three together - yellow orange red, look fantastic in pictures.

John, I know you didn't solicit opinions - but the way the wheels are setup in the above pics is what I'd go with. The daisy shape spokes look best on the '69 imo :thumbsup:

Good luck with the shoot!

Edit: I see your sig now mentions the Chevelle... you're one lucky lucky man!

The grille treatment on the 69 looks great! Congrats on the magazine coverage.

Thanks man:thumbsup: ...I really appreciate the props!

Bruce,just get your butt to Salinas and I'll make you the deal of a lifetime...and I'll cook you up a big fat Rib Eye to boot.:beers:

Talked to the editor this morning...now he says he'll shoot the Chevelle too if he has time.TIME...?I'll have no frickin time to sleep detailing THREE cars!Oh well...we should all have such problems.

Congrats John! Sweet cars for sure! :thumbsup::D

I'm a long time fan of the American Racing 200S style on your '69. Fell in love with them after seeing "Two Lane Blacktop" way back when. I'd say go with the wheels in the current picts for both cars. Congrads on having your cars in the mag. Jim

John , way to go brotha ! Will you sign my mag for me , you a celeb now baby :thumbsup:

I didn't read your comments until now but that was exactly my plan...:yes:

Guys...today was an absolutely grand day with a capitol "G"!:hurray: Henry De Los Santos was very prompt and gracious and has an excellent eye for detail.We spent almost 2 hrs shooting the '69Z and I brought my brother-in-law along and good thing...he and I held the mirror shade which looks like a giant windshield shade but you use it to direct light...to help with the photographs.Henry must have shot 80-85 pics of this car an we were both simply amazed at what we saw in his viewfinder...of course at around $8K for just the main body (Canon,1-2 yrs old),the difference in mine and his are like night & day...oh well,here goes:

Guy works for CHP...you just KNOW he aint renting no Ford.:noway:

'70 Z/28 or '70 SS454?

Didn't have time for both so we flipped a coin and shot the '70Z.I would have preferred to have the 18" AR CL205's from the Chevelle on it but it is what it is and I'm not gonna sweat it.By now it was 12:30 and the sun was beating directly down on us,we had a devil of a time trying to find the right shade.Finally,we ended up in front of Macy's here in Monterey...blocking traffic.

Hey John...thanks for the email!:beers:

WOW we have a real celebrity here now. Congrats, I subscribe to Chevy high perf, so I'll be looking for you in a couple months.

Are these mags out yet?

yes his 69 was on the cover of last months chevy high perf

Sweet shots & smokin rides!

You had mentioned earlier about wheel selections... you ran them tight imo! I was going to chime in but lost the thread till toady. The butterflies look better on 70's era than 60's era imo. I have the same ones on my 68 camaro (for now!), but seeing the other wheels on your 69 has me hooked.

congrats John :thumbsup: well deserved

congrats John :thumbsup: well deserved

Thanks guys...again.:thumbsup:

Needless to say,the response been overwhelming...people really seem to like that little yellow Camaro.:yes:

Here's what I've done wheel-wise with my cars.I ordered a pair of AR 200S's in 17x9.5 (5.5" b/s) w/Nitto N555 285/40 rubber.They will probably go on my '70 Z/28 but to start,I put them on my SS454:
