Photo shoot

We did the photo shoot at three locations -- it took just over seven hours to do the inside, underside, top and bottom. Every square inch of the car was shot.

I grabbed these pictures with the iPhone while the shoot was going on.

What a cool day, it was a blast. Yes -- the car got VERY dust at the quarry

Very nice indeed. What's going on under the hood and what year. TPI set up looks like it is not there anymore.

(public forum) I absolutely hate the hood lol, and the subaru SVX spoiler has me confused, I assume its some sort of callaway product? But if you like it thats all that matters. Rest of the car looks awesome, would like to hear more about the engine!

Sharp car but I agree on the hood. The cowl part needs blending into the hood in my opinion. But again that's my opinion which isn't the important one. If you like it that way then that's all that matters.

A unique and very custom look. You obviously have put a lot of thought and hard work into re-designing your car. Congrats!

I assume it's a Calloway or at least has some their body panels on it.

Interesting none-the-less. Thanks for sharing.

Not a Callaway body kit.

Its called Stalker, made by ACI, hence the license plate.

ACI also replicated the GM GTO body kit that came out in 1988. Its probably my favorite of all of the pure ground effects kits.

Thanks guys! The photo shoot was a blast, now I'm filling in the paperwork for the article. It will be early spring before it is in the magazine.

It took several weeks to get the car ready. Every time I cleaned one spot, I would find another in need of attention. I try to keep it ready for car shows, but this was taking it to another level. I would say easily the car has ten coats of wax.

During the shoot a guy stopped by and asked me if I would sell the car. Nope.

Custom color -- it is a BASF base/clear midnight blue metallic.

Looks great. I thought it was a little darker.

Navy Blue is on the short list for my next Vette.
