 What’s
up everyone! Year after year the
summer show season seems to always
wine down too soon. A different
state every weekend definitely keeps
you in a constant traveling mode and
makes you wonder which side of the
world you’re actually on at
that moment. The month of August drags
by and everyone is listing off their
last few shows of the year that they
plan on attending. Even though the
recovery time is needed from the summer
heat and late night weekends in random
campgrounds or hotels, sometimes you
just can’t get enough
of this awesome lifestyle!
On the cover this month
we bring you John and Sandy
Petro's 1956 Chevy
Roadster Pick up. This one
of a kind roadster’s immaculate
build up was featured by the
TLC Channels program “Rides”.
The episode captured every move from
Scott’s Hotrod’s
out of Ventura, CA. I was
able to catch up with the crew over
at Scott’s Hotrod’s after
they were presented with the Best
of Show Truck award at ITB
in Indianapolis, IN this past month.
The mind blowing metal work alone
is just a taste of the true craftsmanship
that was put into this project, be
sure not to miss out on the attention
to detail in John’s clean Cover
Feature. For more information on Scotts
Hot Rod’s ‘N Customs visit

We added our own attention to detail
with the seductive style of September
Gauge Girl Nikki Bishop.
Nikki has attended some of the hottest
events in the mid west this past year
making appearances in bikini contests
and working to pursue a career in
modeling and acting. Be
sure not to miss Nikki’s sexy
cover debut.
