Pretty cool, Keith! It was nice to meet you and see your car last week (Pavilions cruise in). Looking forward to seeing the spread--I'm sure it will be well received by the mag's readers.

I am beat!!!! Out all afternoon for the photo shoot, then rush over to the other side of town for a Desert Renegades Pontiac club meeting. Just crawled back in the door!!! Shoot went great!!! Going to have a desert brush/cactus background. Pics were taken in late afternoon with a setting sun on the side of a road west of Phoenix. Also did a bunch of closeup shots in the shade behind a local business. Next, I will be contacted by the Hemmings writer to give additional info on the car for the story. No idea what issue it will be in. As soon as I know, will post the info. Time to go to bed!!!!!!!!!!

I look much better than that on a bear skin rug!!!

Here is a teaser pic sent to me today from the photographer, warts & all!!! This was taken on the side of the highway way west of Phoenix. West of the White Tanks mountains. Probably 40+ miles from the house.
