Page 7 THE MAGAZINE ROOM IT S CRUNCH TIME! If you are reading this and your vehicle is not ready for SEMA, we thank you. But get your ass back in the garage or shop and get that thing done! We only have about 30 days left to the big extravaganza. I ve been to several shops, read many blogs and viewed a lot of builds on Facebook and Twitter and I m not sure if everyone is going to make it. Some of them are still waiting on parts, one is still not sure what color they are going to go with. So for those of you that are not building something, get your work clothes on and help a brother out. This month I would like to thank Nick Means for another great cover and Gauge Girl shoot with hottie Roxy. A couple of the staff thinks she s the hottest thing since sliced bread, but I think they are partial to redheads if you know what I mean. Now I don t want to bring everyone down but Forever Young our lead feature, was dedicated to his son that was less than a year old when he passed from some crazy condition that he had. No one knew about it until it was too late. The Lion on the car represents being a Leo; the angels each stand for something important to the Father. Earlier in the night before they laid Tyson down to sleep they were at a Minnesota Twins game. This is why the baseball diamond is on the trunk. If you look in the clouds in the top right you can see Tyson in the clouds or as they say Their Angel in the outfield . Just thought I d share this information about this Monte, it was a little confusing the first time I saw this ride. But a beautiful ride it is. The rest of this month s issue is full of great features from Texas and South Carolina. Shows range from ViAir show and shine in Cali, 4X4 Jamboree in Ohio and Beatersville in Kentucky where rockabilly is still alive. So kick back and grab a brew and enjoy this month s pages from cover to cover. Until next month, keep on them rides, double check your SEMA reservations and keep visiting those strip clubs.
