Our first feature vehicle this month is Gail Taylor’s 1997 Honda Accord, photographer Toby Mosholder met up up with Gail at Spring Fling in Panama City Florida. Gale seriously grabbed Toby’s attention for this feature with big wheels, killer paint, flawless interior and air suspension. Make sure to check this feature out.

Next on the feature list this month, we climb inside staff photographer Brad Walkers camera for the photo shoot of Josh Jewells 1999 4x4 S10. Josh is the owner of his own shop, Sparky’s Hardcore Customs, so when everyone said that a 4x4 truck could not be hammered to the ground and still function it gave him the motivation to make it happen. From just one look at the photos, you will see that he accomplished this goal. Nice job on the truck Josh… Your skilled craftsmanship has the entire truck community talking about your truck all over the country.

To wrap up features this month, we jump into the way back machine with staff photographer Smalls, to his first feature he ever shot. Now, at first look most of you are going to say I remember that truck from years ago. If you do; you are exactly right. Owner Brent Lovern built this beast in the mid 90’s. We just ran this feature because we thought it would be a good look into how far our sport has come in the last 10 years, and for us old school enthusiast, it is a great trip down memory lane.

For show coverage, we travel to the west coast with staff photographer Jason Peckovitch, he attended the NOPI show in Arizona on the weekend of March 17^th and 18^th 2007. There is just one thing to say about NOPI shows… F*cking Awesome. At every one of their events there are always totally radical cars, drag racing, drifting, live entertainment and smoking hot ladies. For info on all their event’s visit www.nopi.com

For the next show, we stop off in Morristown, TN on the weekend of April 6-7, 2007, with staff photographers Smalls and Toby Mosholder for Lay’d Out At The Park. This show has grown leaps and bounds year after year, even with a few inches of snow on Saturday morning, the 2007 show was not different. www.laydoutatthepark.net

If you are a 4x4 truck enthusiast, then this next show is for you. The crew over at Family Events has specialized in producing the 4-Wheel Jamborees for the past 26 years and these events are tremendous. Thousands of Trucks, spectators and vendors make these 4x4 events, must attend events. Make sure to check our coverage out from photographer Toby Mosholder of the 22^nd annual Lima, OH 4x4 Jamboree. It is a for sure not to miss. For info on the entire series and next year’s Lima, OH event visit www.familyevents.com

To wrap up our coverage, we spend the day with staff photographer Brad Walker at the Unleashed Modern Custom Truck and Car Show in London, Kentucky on May 19-20, 2007. With just one look at this coverage it is easy to see, this show is a must attend for 2008. Stay up on all the info by visiting www.unleashedshow.com
