Well after a rather disappointing weekend for us at the NOPI Nationals, Craig and I scored a big time photo shoot. On Saturday Morning I was approached by a Senior Photographer for Opgezet Magazine from Belgium. They were interested in an article on my car for their magazine. I told them to wait till Sunday so they could see Craig's car and do a dual photo shoot. Well they came back first thing Sunday and the answer was Yes!
On Monday morning, Craig and I got together with 2 photographers and spent the next 4 hours having the times of our lives. We started off by slamming our Cougars to the ground and doing some photos of our cars sitting next to each other. The photographers then moved to my interior followed by craigs engine bay. After some closeups of our baer brakes and 19" rollers, the photographer let us have some fun... starting with my car sitting still and craig driving his by it.... to allowing me to show off my 2 wheel burnout... then craig and I getting chased for our keys on the 2nd and 3rd story balcony of the hotel!
The magazine is an actual publication in Belgium. Their website address is opgezet.be (http://www.opgezet.be) and the photograhpers said our article may be out by SEMA which is early November.
Here is the link to view the Photos and Videos...

That paint job is awesome! Really fits the flow of the WBK. I know the idea of carbon fiber tail covers has been suggested, but honestly, I think it looks great as is. Keep up the good work, Craig!

Damn that was awesome. :D Both cars look HAWT. The color pairing amused me though cuz it reminded me of an orange and a lemon. :)

Right now, no.... I hope to have the car professionally vinyled next year... this year has just been so hectic and with over 25 sponsors, its hard to give them all fair play. The stickers are on the front window till SEMA... I am not driving the car till after SEMA.... When we leave Las Vegas... All stickers will be removed so I can drive the car :)
