Chevy Blazer


This ‘67 Camaro brings the flames, and is one throttle-tickle from bringing the smoke.


Words & photography: Charlie Lewis

Our very own US photographer,
Charlie Lewis, brings us a full-on,
race-built 1967 Chevrolet Camaro
with power to back its looks.
The owner of this immaculate
machine is none other than
David Thompson from TNT
Motorsports in McMinnville,

Oregon. With its race-inspired
build and aggressively mean
raked stance, the custom
airbrushed realistic flames on
top of the black paint job set
the car off perfectly. Paint work
was provided by painter Chris
Marshall. The car was originally
