Every vision begins with a blueprint. Mr. Bob Bartelson, of A Plus Powder Coating in Ohio, brought his vision to reality. His new build 1967 Camaro, which he named “Octane”, will make even the best of car enthusiasts, envious.
This project began on December 2006 and just 6 months later was completed in June 2007.
One local company in Columbiana, Ohio was just one of many contributors to this project. EM-R-TUFF, owned and operated by Mr. Bill Gisler, helped with the protective coating phase by applying Speedliner on the frame and fenders to protect against corrosion and road wear.
“Octane” has been successfully shown in car shows around the country. These are some of the awards won so far:
Year One Experience, Muscle Car TV Best of Show
Good Guys Columbus, Best Ride on BF Goodrich
Super Summit Top 50
Super Chevy, Editors Pick, Camaro Class Winner, Best Camaro, Award of Excellence
Good Guys Slickest 67 Camaro
“Octane” will also be featured in Summit Racing, March/April 2009 edition. Super Chevy has done a photo shoot and we are waiting for the publication date.
EM-R-Tuff is located at 43040 Kelly Park Rd, Columbiana, OH 44408, 330-482-4511 and at bgisler@sbcglobal.net
