Make sure not to Miss her Gauge Girl Interview and get an up-close look at her in a few different outfits. For feature vehicles this month we Have Justin Adams and his Supercharged 2012 Camaro RS/SS. This Camaro is so mild looking but packing massive power and so cool we had to grab photos for our readers. The next feature this month is an immaculate 1969 VW convertible owned by Bruce Paul. This full restoration features so many clean modifications such as dual carbs, Msd ignition, etc.. Do not miss this one! To wrap up features this month we arch up with Jay Jancetic and his 2009 Nissan 370z. Jay’s inspiration on this build was to have the highest documented WHP 370’s in the country. Just one look at the work that was put into this Nissan and it is easy to see that this goal was a reality! Show coverage this month we jump all over the great USA. We start in Portland, OR with Ron McKinnis for the 60th Anniversary Portland Road Show on March 18-20, 2016. After looking though this show coverage it is easy to see that Portland has some of the most amazing custom builds in the county. Next show for the January 2017 Issue we travel with Chris Gosda to Milwaukee, WI for the Brewhaus Car Show on July 23, 2016.
