What’s
up everyone! The sparks of August have slowly
faded, but the drug up concrete
still lingers in our minds and
frame rails. There is nothing sweeter than
being greeted nights before an event with
a complimentary 20 ft shower of
glowing metal sparks floating down
the roadway. If that mind-blowing description
doesn’t get your blood pumping,
then we’ve got the fix you’ve
been looking for!
Gracing
the cover this month is Ryan Krockson
representing Positive Force,
with his 2001 Honda Civic.
Ryan’s creation titled “Playschool”
was brought on during the build up of this
jaw dropping Civic for its use of colors
and the simple fact of a “Little Kids
Dream”. See how Ryan turned this
“Little Kids Dream” into a “Big
Boys Reality!
To
bring a brighter glow onto Ryan’s
Civic we add the beautiful September
Gauge Girl Elizabeth Callahan.
See how Elizabeth seduces the camera
in her sexy Gauge Girl layout.

This
past month on the weekend of August 15-17
we made our homecoming appearance in Indy
for the ever popular ITB (Import
& Truck Bash) sponsored by
Falken Tire.
Year after year this event hosted
by Latest Craze, has brought
in some of the hottest vehicles from coast
to coast. The event was held at the Indianapolis
Raceway Park, and celebrated its

breaking excitement. To stay on top

We
were able to complete the lifestyle circle
with our stunning line up of feature
vehicles for you this month. We
kick off with Chris Smith and
his clean ass 1997 Explorer.
Over the years Chris’s hard work and
dedication has prevailed.
Dallas Runner and I hooked
up at the ITB show in Canfield
to find the perfect setting for his 1961
Chevy Impala. Catch up with Dallas
if you’re looking for a way to dress
up your Impala lowrider to roll in style!
I was able to meet Michael Derrick
and his 1995 Nissan Hard body
at the Slammin’ & Jammin’
show in Lebanon, TN. Michael representing
Acrophobia, gracefully
scraped his way through to the pages of
Gauge with his exceptional ride.
Lastly, but definitely not least, Doug
Oubre with his 1997 Ford
F-150 stunned the crowd at Scrapin’
the Coast in Gulfport, MS when
he rolled in this flawless masterpiece.
