Re: October COTM **Voting**
It's an honor to have been nominated! Thanks guys!
Most know about my car here, but I'll post some of my pix. My car is really not all that exotic, but as the pictures show, it gets used for it's intended purpose.

Re: October COTM **Voting**
I pressure washed mine, then hit is all with a scotchbright pad in fine grit, and wiped with wax grease remover. I then used tin foil to wrap lines and stuff. Used the Eastwood Extreme Chassis black. I used the Eastwood detailing paints for the heat shields and fuel tank etc. Very easy to apply and has been durable enough for my limited driving.

As the COTM editor, I have no powers to change the voting anymore than any other member by posting great pics of their cars. Its all member based and I can't edit the votes. All the nominations are beautiful camaros, and I happen to have one too... it would be a bit not fair to be excluded because I take the time out of my day to set this up every month for OUR community, because I help.

My apologies, it appeared there were other cars being submitted, I've removed mine.
For me, I've always loved the way BADNBLK looked. It's SUCH a unique looking touch to have the turquoise highlights in the ground effects. :-)
