In May 2004 I was contacted by CAMAROSOURCE.CA and asked to submit some pictures of the KILLER for their upcoming 2005 Camaro Calendar. In June they contacted me and asked..."If I were picked, what month would I want?" I told them April. In September I was contacted by CamaroSource and told that the KILLER had been picked for the 2nd Gen. 2005 calendar!!

And here it is!!

On Thursday June 19th, 2003 I had the words, "The Killer Tomato" put on the back of the rear spoiler. The wonderful folks at "Fast Signs" in Gurnee are responsible for the quality of the work!

On Saturday, September 26th 2004 I took my son on a "burn-out recon".

We found a small manufacturing facility with a virgin parking lot. By the time I was done it wasn't a VIRGIN anymore!!

The first set, (kinda far away)....

We love taking the "Killer" to local car shows and cruise nights. We joined the Illinois Camaro Club and have enjoyed being a part of a club.
