I am digging the new layout of the Cars of the Month..  Click on the 68 - "Feature Car" and take a look..  I think this would give people a better understanding of peoples' rides plus I personally like hearing the stories that go along with the rides..  Keep it up guys!!  I like it!!

That is real nice! I always thought a section like that would be a nice addition to this great site. I don't know if it is because of room to print, but in future Feature Car of the Month I would like to see how long the current owner has owned their car and how they came about getting that car. Maybe even an inset picture of how it looked upon purchase.

considering how hard it is for them to get submissions, I think that may be wishful thinking....

[Steve Shauger]

I've sent couple of cars with pics and write ups but never heard back. Not sure but the submission process hasn't worked for me. I've posted most of mine of Yenko.net. Who ever is in charge let me know the submission protocol and I'll submit again.

Thanks,

I sent pics last year and this year both too, plus a write up about my car. maybe they didn`t get through ?

Steve and Eldon, this is just a test at this point. It's all new. This does take some time to put together, but I am thinking it is probably worth it. We were not doing this in the past, so if you submitted something earlier I am sorry that it was not used. The car for October has already been chosen. If you submit something again, I will try to make sure your car is used.

I work with Steve K. on this. He generally collects the pics that I post each month (Kurt did the posting of the pics previously). I will see if Steve can post his contact info on how to do this again.

As to WHAT we want, this is going to evolve a bit. Generally I want
1. About 5 pics.
2. Some history of the car and what it was originally - if possible.
3. Condition of the car now.
4. Any future plans.

Right now it will just be one car per month, but depending on how this evolves, there could be more than one.

I don't want to make the guidelines too rigid, but there will have to be a general format.

I have nothing against show cars, but my preference would be for cars that get selected to be ones that are driven regularly. High end, high dollar cars usually end up as feature cars in magazines. But this is open to all first generation Camaros.

I have been thinking about doing something else with original unrestored cars, but have to get more input on that. That would be something more involved than these write ups that go with the monthly pics.  Maybe even a new section where people can post their own pics and write up. Stay tuned.

Thats a nice write up. Car looks good and would have been stunning in the original colors.

I didn't know that 1967 had 3 months of September ............... learn something every day!    Nice idea all the same.

This is something I would be interested in.  I have already started a thread in the Preservation Section over on SYC.  Only reason I havent posted it here is due to I wasnt sure how it would be received since we dont have a build thread section or in your case an unrestored section..  I say do it.  I know there will be several that would be great candidates for something like that.

Funny. Should have been "week" not month. I fixed it.  Thanks.

I know, was just joking............

I agree that someday it needs to go back to original colors.

One other interesting thing is the body number of this car. NOR 12345

Hey guys,

I tried to put together something like this a while back, and I did not seem to get a lot of responses about it.  I would certainly like to try it again if we can get enough  interest.  I suppose we could try it like Bryon did, and select one of the three home page pics every month to be the feature car.  I really like that idea. 

Let's give it a whirl.  If I can get three guys to send me the info and pics as outlined above by Bryon, I will put it together, and submit it to Bryon so he can do his magic and make a presentation and make it look awesome. 

So, send in those pics AND YOUR WRITE UP.  Tell us anything interesting about the car you think we would want to know.  The who, what, where, when and why is a good place to start.  How you found it, what you went thru to get it, how you fixed it up if you had to do that, and so on.  Your car does NOT have to be a show car...it only has to be your car.  CRG is about all of us.  Now, if you do have a trailer queen or a show car, well of course send it on in...we LOVE ALL FIRST GEN CAMAROS...the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Send em to me at:

sdkar@bellsouth.net

Thanks,
Steve
