My Firebird & Brother's Nova made Popular Hot Rodding magazine!!!
Super stoked to have even made the cover of PHR with my 68 Firebird, I got a surprise call in January after meeting Johnny Hunkins at the Goodguys Scottsdale autocross last fall, seems he was coming to Phoenix and wanted to shoot both cars! Robert McGaffin did an awesome job on the photo's, thanks to my friends Eric & Jerad for getting us access to Luke AFB for the shoot.

Cheers Steve, yeah they loved me at customs, I once had to re-pack a suitcase at check-in as it weighed over a hundred pounds (75 limit), I had to removed the 30lb flywheel that was in there. The front bumper also got some looks as it was checked in. Originally Posted by Motorcitydak
