Anyone seen the 91 Z in CHP? That is a beautiful car, I just recieved my issue and I'm like wow. If anyone wants I'll take pictures of the article and post them. The amount of money he put out to do this is amazing.

 

yeah post em up, wanna see this.

 

Wow, lots of money, huh? Pictures! I want to see what money can buy

 

It's KandiedZ's car isn't it? He's on the board. look for the post on his lower ride.

 

Is this it?

 

i guess it is. but the hood is the stock one with the blisters in the magazine, instead of the SS hood he has on there now. I'll take pictures in a few minutes and post them up. Damn i knew he spent a lot of money but i didnt think that much! lol I have a new idol

 

Hurry up! lol
I won't get to see my mag until I get home. (=4:30pm)

 

heres the first 2 pages

 

and heres the last 2

 

WOW congrats to Kandied!! those pics are a little old, his car looks a ton better now... but it was still amazing then!

 

Nice job with yet another magazine article Kandied..........

I'm starting the whole show car this fall, and i'm just hoping to get into one magazine and here you are with numerous publications of your car..........:hail:

 

wow...even before i got to see it!!



thanks so much for the kind words guys, yes those pictures were taken back in september....i posted pictures of the photo shoot on here but i did not say what they were from. i'm sure most will remember this shot.

 

i hinted to it in that lowered thread with this shot...

 

they took the photos in september but i really had no idea when they were going to print it. took quite some time that's for sure but as to the looks of it it was well worth the wait. has anyone read it yet? all they did was take photos and i had a 20 page mod sheet to fill out so i have no idea what they could have wrote about as i never talked to anyone so i'm interested to see what it says.

thanks again everyone!!

 

As always..... :hail: :hail:

 

Cool!

 

just a question kandied...

how did you go about gettin yourself in a mag (well a few)

what were the steps you took?

iroc2nv

 

congrats dude!

 

I always thought your car was sweet..now that I see some specs and good pics....I have even more respect for that ride of yours!Damn sweet car Jeff!

 

Jeff,

What kind of rims are they? They look great!

Bill

 

AWESOME!!!

...I hope to get featured someday!!! I know my stock preferences may keep it from getting noticed, but I'm sure some of you saw the "Tuned Port Infection" spread in GMHTP a few years ago.

Heck, ya never know!

Congrats Kandied!

 

thanks guys....

to be honest it was and is alot of hardwork pushing a car through all the b.s for these things. i started talks with chp back in 01 after my first write up in camaro worlds september 01 issue and you see how long it took. the only advice i have to anyone looking to do the same is to honestly ask yourself if you would purchase the same magazine with the same car if it weren't your own. with that out of the way make sure you have a few good photos and enough things with the car to make others want to read it. put it all together and email it to one of the editors.........they get thousands of emails a week from people like us all wanting to do the same thing. it's pretty much a kiss *** and sell yourself routine. do it right and you just might see your car in print. however there's always those select few who happen to be in the right place at the right time. winning large shows help too.



for the wheels. boze stinger model www.bozeforged.com 18x8 and 18x10.

thanks for the kind words everyone!!

 

what month (year) is that from?

I love that car! its looks sooo clean!!
maybe mine will one too!

 

Sept '04

 

not in my Sept '04

 

Sounds like you got the screwgy. You should've paid more j/k

So, I don't see it in Sept `04 either.

 

0mg Kandied 0wnZ m3....

 

Im at work right now, but whats on your cover?

Mine has an engine(who would have guessed) and its talking about engine combos(again, unbeliveable ) and I remember it having a blue background

 

i just bought the mag, I love the secotion, But the pics dont do your car justice, ive seen better pics on the webiste, the pics look dark or something. Or maybe its just the paint playing tricks. But the car looks great now you just gotta get it into another mag with the air ride and the new hood.

 

i'm trying.....little hard to argue when the editors have this issue on their desks now. they don't want to believe it's a completely different car now.

as far as the issue it's the september 2004 chevy high performance issue. it is in there so if you don't see it you must have the wrong issue. it has a blue cover with an engine on the front. my car is on page 8 of the contents as well.

 

Very cool!
It's always awesome to see a beautiful, clean thirdgen grace the pages of a popular magazine. I'm going to buy my issue now!
The only thing is that I can see those wheels becoming a whole lot more popular now, which kinda sucks for the sake of originality. Those are by far my favorite wheels, I just hope people don't start putting them on everything under the sun.
Good job man.

 

thanks alot! you know that's crazy that you mentioned that....

i called up my budy at boze alloys who helped me with everything during the process to let them know the print was out and he had already knew about it. had 4 people calling with f-bodies asking about the wheels they saw on a 91 camaro in chevy high performance.

just crazy how fast things work like that....

 

Hey Kandied Can you send Better Pics of your article? I cant read the one that 87CIZ posted up. Its too small and blury.

 

That's how magazine's work, hence the reason why sponsors are easier to get once the car's in a magazine.......I know myself, never imagine a LS1 in my car, but the December 2003 Issue with Roy's Vert was the final straw.

Magazine's have some serious influence on the car scene, I'm sure you had groups of people rushing to chrome their stock 91-92 wheels.......

You still have the SS hood and air ride over that article though......

 

Congrats ! That is great

 

thanks guys...

yeah alot has changed since that aritcle that's for sure.

 

Your car looks great,I agree the paint looks darker in the mag than in real life(I saw it at Cobo)...Congrats on getting the car in the mag,That would be a dream come true
anyone notice the Silver RS vert in "readers rides" towards the back of the mag?
Its pretty damn sweet too
Later
Steve

 

Jeff

I went on the Boze web site but I'm not sure which wheel they are. Which model are they?

 

 

oops.

Didn't see it. Sorry.

Thanks though.

 

do u get a free subscription for life now

 

lol....yeah right. i was not consulted on the article, i was not sent even one copy and if i wanted to purchase copies from the magazine it was $8 a piece plus shipping.



so i just bought out all the corner stores....$4 that way.

 

September 04??? They are a couple months ahead.

 

magazines are a typcially always a few months ahead in print and up to a year or more in actual setup. by the time something is getting into a magazine it's been out or done for a year or more in most cases.

 

$8 a copy!!!???

There $4.95 at the grocery store!!!!!!!!!

 

I went to go pick it up but they didn't have the new issue out yet Oh well, I will check back in a few days. Congrats!

I sent mine in about a month ago, for their Young Guns section. Hopefully it makes it in there!

 

i wouldn't see why not if your pictures are clear, you have a nice car.

thanks everyone!

 

Just got my issue in the mail today, that's awesome your in it! I am showing all my friends, lol. keep up the good work.

I am flyin out to NE this weekedn to pick up a black 91 Z with an L98 and I will be following RT 80 all the way to Ohio for a family get togetther and then back to MD. But I just saw in the mag that Jeff is in Detroit and I will be sorta passing by threre. it would be awesome to see the car in person.

 

thanks, i appreciate the support.

 

I just got the magazine, and the article came out great!! Nice job Kandied. I also like how they used your car for the "feature" in the index of the magazine. Not many 3rd gens are capable of pulling that off
