July 2022 COTM "Mod Squad" **Nomination Thread**

This is a Nomination Thread for cars that will compete for this month's Car of the Month honor. The most popularly nominated cars will be compiled into a Voting Thread within a couple weeks.

You can either nominate somebody else's car, or second a nomination (but not both). Cars must have a second nomination in order to make it to the Voting Thread.

Nomination Guidelines
  • Nominations must be of high quality, finished state, and in working order. No unrealistic, overly processed images. Please accompany the nomination with,
    • a single large, high quality photo
    • name of TGO member (with proper caps and spaces)
    • year, make, and model of car
  • Do not nominate your own car. Your car must be nominated by another TGO member. Cars must have a second nomination in order to continue to the Voting Thread.
  • Likewise, do not ask another family member or friend to join TGO for the purpose of nominating your car. Do not use multiple member accounts to nominate your own car.
  • Do not nominate more than one car.
  • If you are nominated, please DO go out and take an abundance of good quality photos of your car (multiple angles, interior, engine) and make them publicly accessible (for example via a photo album in your public profile, or some sort of hyperlink to your photo album).


*** This month's category ***

MOD SQUAD -- Any very high quality heavily modified 82-92 Camaro or Firebird... We have had some nice winners over the past years with great mods, but lets this month give a dedicated focus to the "MOD SQUAD" as there are some fabulous examples out there with thirdgen.org members who have done over the top upgrades and haven't yet been a COTM winner!

Re: July 2022 COTM "Mod Squad" **Nomination Thread**

to get the ball rolling i nominate soloc4 and his incredible 1984 Z28 with not only a great LS swap but full Corvette C4 suspension front and back! Plus it seems like he likes to not only admire his work but also put it to the test!

I'd like to nominate jtmiller92. He has the cleanest 1992 Chevrolet Camaro RS I've ever seen! It's heavily modded and sounds amazing!

As we still only have two nominees for this month and a lot of really great thirdgens with incredible mods I am going to use my "COTM editor powers" to also nominate customblackbird and his incredible 1987 Formula

I appreciate the honor of the nomination, unfortunately I must withdraw since my car is not yet ready for COTM. It currently is blown apart in preparation for paint and has no interior other than a seat and the dash. I hope to have it completed within the next year, so until then I do not feel that this car is ready for such recognition. I would like to note that JTMiller92's car is what I envision mine to look like when it is completed.

I will second customblackbird's car. Great options this month so far; I enjoy the modified 3rd gens the most (obviously)
