A sad day for the car community

Its always sad when somebody dies.  Well today, one of my hero's, Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins died.  He was 81 years old.  He started racing in the late 1950s, and in 1963 he won little eliminator at the Nationals in a A/FX Chevy II.  In 1964 and 1965 He raced in A/FX and eventually Super Stock Eliminator with his Black Arrow Dodges.  Due to Chrysler officials not wanting to meet his terms in 1966, Jenkins went back to Chevy's, and the rest is history.  Racing Camaros, Vegas, Monzas, and a ton of other well built cars.  His last full season was in 1975, and in 1976 he only raced the first event of the season and then handed driving duties over to Larry Lombardo, who won the season.  After 1983 the Grump' retired from being a team owner, but was still involved in helping teams throughout the years after his retirement.  He will be greatly missed!

How things change

A while back I used to work for the facebook application vDream Racing, and on the app was the 1969 camaro rendering on the left.  I didn't make it, but I had planned to go really into detail on making it better (i made the hood on it in about 15 minutes and it got in lol, it was just trying to match the car).  Anyway, now that vDream is "closed" down, I just had to redo that 1969 Camaro.  I felt so bad for the car in real life, compared to the game.  For starters in regards to things wrong on the original render, its got no passenger side tire, its got 4 bucket seats, and the back two are higher then the front two, and its proportions are just way off.  On the right is how far my redo of it is so far, and I am quite happy with it.  Also the wheels on both cars are the same to show how things have changed so drastically.
