Congrats,Bob,on the cover of November PHR!! Great job!!

Right on Bob!! I want an autographed copy when you show up at Happy Days Thur!!

bob,

congrats. i cant wait to get my copy. i checked you home page and viewed your camaro at the pescadero photo shoot. i love the way your camaro sits on those tires and rims. hey, did you ever figure out the snaps for the boot?

angel

Thanks fellas. I am as happy as a jackass eatin' briars as my dad used to say. Angelo I have not done anything else with my boot yet. I am waiting until I see DJD's setup at the cruiz in.

bob

ps here is a low res scan of the cover Scott on pro-touring.com was kind enough to make for me while I wait for my copy of the mag.

congrats Bob, graemlins/thumbsup.gif
now when does Scot get printed?
:D

Congrats Bob, it's well deserved! I'm glad you decided to hang onto the car, at least for now.

Take care.

Way to go BOB, Seems like a lot of the members around here are getting their cars in print. Again Congrats.

Did you have a lot of work done to that car at speed merchant? If so I remember seeing it a few times rolling/rumbling down the street, nice car made some of the guys at my old job drool.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I am really pleased. I could not have managed a project like that without the help of the people on this and other boards. It has been a real pleasure and I hope that I can help someone along now toward their dream car.

bob

ps.......joe yes I did have the work done at Speed Merchant and put a lot of miles on those roads around Race and Lincoln. Where do you work there. I must have driven by.

That's very cool Bob. There's just something about red 1st gens with black stripes that gets my blood pumping. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Did you take your by-the-seaside pics the same day?

Same day.....using his setups.......it was great

bob

Wish i could get the rest of the photos he took......they looked amazing

Congrats Bob - very nice cover shot! They got the whole car in graemlins/thumbsup.gif
Is your's a manual or power top?

Sure wish the Austrailian was still on Lincoln - Clod made great food!

Funny you should ask vintage it is a power top but the motor is not working any more. I need to take it off and disconnect the hydraulics so I can move it manually.

bob

It didn't look like the Header Panel area was folded all the way down under the boot - like air in a power top type of thingy.

Looking through the top viewfinder on the large format cameras is a real treat. Kevin has several that I want as well for my own collection of obsession photos.

Have any of the photo mount studios called yet?

All film. Fuji Velvia I believe it was called. The photo mounters have already called. In fact that is how I found out I got the cover. I ordered the full monty. I am going to give it to my 12 year old who just loves this car and was there for the shoot.

thanks guys

bob

Bob, congrats! graemlins/hurray.gif That is one sweet machine...I've got to go out and get me a copy of Hotrodding. I love the shoreline setting too...Mike :D

Wow!!!!
A big congrats Bob.

I can't wait to hang a copy of this issue in my garage.

John

You norcal guys can come out and see Bob's car in person at the Happy Days Diner this evening. The diner is on Camden just off Bascom in San Jose...

Dennis,

I will probably get there around 4:30.

bob

I'll try to save you a parking spot...

Congratulations Bob! What a thrill.

Bob,

My most sincere congratulations to you. Your car and your efforts have made it to national prominence. Holy S**t!!! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Congrats Bob! For me, that would be the top, the pinacle. LOL I think. graemlins/thumbsup.gif
Well, maybe that & the race car dragging the bumper on the cover of National Dragster. LOL :D

Bob and I got together after work last night at a local cruise in and though I've seen his car before he's made a lot of cool changes since then. It's an awesome example of the things we all look for, Looks and classic styling, performance and a distinct throaty rumble that commands folks to stop and look to see what just fired up without being obnoxious... graemlins/beers.gif

Congrats!

That's a really nice photo of a really nice car!

JD

Well thanks a lot everyone. Dennis it was nice to see you again. Your car is absolutely perfect. It was a pleasure meeting your friends and I hope we can meet there again sometime when we can both stay longer.

bob

btw.......dennis....there is a thread in the performance section on the American Thunder system. Many are under the impression that it is too loud and obnoxious. Drop by there give them your impression of how mine sounded if you don't mind.

bob,

do we get to see you on tv soon with the video valet girls on popular hot rodding tv? now that would be way cool.

angel

looked inside my mailbox today and there it was, Bob's camaro. very cool. bob, what filter did they use? as i was looking at one of the photos, the one from the rear, it gave your camaro a sort of bronze look. i like that color.
