For Shawna

The date for our wedding was June 17th, 2006. I was trying to come up with something for my fiance, Shawna, for a wedding gift and since I am in the business of building Musclecars I couldn't think of anything else but to build her the car she alway's dreamed about. A 68 Camaro.

It's february, five months before the big day and I locate a 68 RS in the local paper for sale in northern Wisconsin. I bolted up north checked it out and a deal was struck. The next day I picked up the car and then rented a mini storage stall to keep the car out of site. Since this was going to be a surprise for Shawna I simply could not have it at the shop. I worked on the car for the first month in the mini storage basically taking inventory and disassembly before turning to my friend Paul Nowak.Paul works with me at our shop and I told Paul what I was planning to do and he agreed to help out so off the car went to his shop at home. We worked on the car for the next three months at his place and got the car done three days before our wedding day. We got married at the Westgate Sportsman's Club and right after the ceremony I made an announcement for everyone to meet out in the parking lot. Paul and I had brought the car to this location a couple days before and parked it in a building next to the parking lot. Once everyone was outside I handed a keychain to my new Bride that said "To my wife Shawna" and at that very moment, before it even sunk in as to what it was for, Paul fired the car up and parked it right in front of her.  She was so surprised and speechless! This has been the best day of my life!

I want to say thanks to Paul Nowak for all your hard work on this project. You really helped make a dream come true and I can't tell you how much this meant to me. Thanks again!
