At
the first look this month
you will notice that we stepped
outside our usual realm of cover
feature vehicles. Normally our
cover vehicles are bad-ass full
custom vehicles, but when the
opportunity came to shoot two
of the most aspired Corvette’s
in the world: The 1999
Corvette C5-R, # 5 of 20 and
the C5-R tribute car a 2004
Z06 LeMan’s Edition.
Staff photographer Toby Mosholder
could not resist bringing this
home for everyone to check out.
This is the first time in Gauge
history that we have featured
a totally stock vehicle and
a total race car. There is a
great story behind all this
madness; make sure to take a
few minutes and read the article
so you can fully understand
the story behind these very
rare and priceless corvettes.
While
at the NOPI show in
Phoenix, AZ, staff
photographer Jason Peckovitch
had the pleasure of photographing
Jerry Ingrahm and his awesome
2002 Nissan Altima.
An additional highlight to this
feature is the beautiful Kelly
Christ. She's not afraid of
the camera! Make sure to keep
an eye out for her on the cover
of an upcoming issue of Gauge.
For
the next feature, we travel
to Tennessee and catch up with
staff photographer Brad Walker.
Brad had the honor of meeting
with Brandon Brooks and capturing
his immaculate 1968
Datsun Pickup. Not
very often do you see an old
school as cool as this one,
make sure you check this radical
feature out.
On
the weekend of March 11-12,
2006 staff photographer Smalls
took the trip from Atlanta to
LA for a little vacation and
to photograph the Forbidden
Fantasy 06 show at
the Lake Perris Fairgrounds.
Just one look at the coverage
and it goes to prove that there
is nothing like a true hardcore
southern California event. For
all the info on next years event
please visit http://fffshow04.tripod.com
When
someone mentions that they are
attending a NOPI
event you can bet they are going
to have the time of their life.
NOPI produces
some of the hottet events in
the nation, hands down.
Live entertainment, hundreds
of show cars and the best bikini
contest around; all of this
is what staff photographer Jason
Peckovitch experienced on the
weekend of March 18-19, 2006
at the NOPI Arizona
event. Make sure to check this
exclusive coverage, for more
info on the entire NOPI
series visit www.nopinationals.com
Next
up on the list of shows this
month is the world famous
Spring Fling Show held in Panama
City. Over the past
years Spring Fling has become
the mini-trucker spring break
trip of the year. The show is
absolutely non stop and the
night life is like no other.
Make sure to stay up to date
on the 2007 event at www.springflingcarshow.com
To
wrap up this months coverage
we check in with staff photographer
Toby Mosholder in his home town
of Dayton, OH for the Dayton
Autorama. Make sure
to put this winter show on your
2007 calendar. http://www.daytonautorama.com
Toby
doesn't let us off the hooks
that easily though, as he hits
us with another tech article.
This month he shows us how
to install the TR Manufacturing
8 piece C-notch on
his 1992 Chevy C-1500. If you
are considering installing a
big 8 piece C-notch in your
truck, this article is for you.
For
our May pinup, artist
Don Pace really
went the extra mile with his
version of how to jack up a
hot rod. Make sure to right
click and save this one for
your personal collection.
