MidniteOctane.com – The site is finally up! First off I’d like to thank Scott Gulbranson for all of his help in making this web page possible. If you need a web page done I’d highly recommend talking to Scott first. Secondly, please make sure to check back occasionally to see updates to the site. I’ll be adding renderings to the gallery, some info on the media page and the about section will be updated as well. Octane Gear will be something I plan on having by this summer. Please check back for updates. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at MidniteOctane@gmail.com. Thanks, John

My 5th Gen Design in Popular Hot Rodding Magazine – Make sure to check out my 5th gen design concept in the March 2006 issue of PHR. Steven Rupp contacted me about using the rendering in an upcoming article that would discuss the 2006 Camaro Concept that GM was getting ready to show. After seeing pics leaked about the new GM concept the rumors were that my concept came very close to what GM had ready and waiting for the unveiling at the Detroit Auto Show. Please also note that the URL has been misspelled in the article; please update it on your favorites list to www.midniteoctane.com.

Mark Stielow and Midnite Octane – I can’t reveal too much info at this time but I was fortunate enough to be able to work with Mark on his latest project. Check back for more at a later date.

g-Shirts for Lateral-g.net – You need to check out the g-shirts designed for Lateral-g by John McBride at Midnite Octane. You can see the shirt design on the Octane Gear page>>

Marquez Design Interiors – SEMA was another great show this year! I was fortunate to get the opportunity to work with the guys at Marquez Design on their new interior for 1st generation Camaros. One of the things that I really like about working with Pascual and the guys is that their attention to detail, style, fit and finish is second to none. They were already well on their way with their design and development with the interior. I worked closely with Pascual in just ironing out the details and completing a finished design rendering for SEMA 2005. I look forward to working with Marquez Design again on future projects. For more, check out the gallery>>

Lateral Dynamics – Another SEMA project of mine was helping Mark develop a logo for Lateral Dynamics before SEMA. The logo turned out great and really represents what these guys are all about. See the logo here>>

• Jake Parrott’s 1968 Camaro Street Fighter – Currently I am helping Jake with his Pro-Touring ’68 Camaro. An aggressive competition look is the direction it has taken on and functionality is key. It just so happens that functional purpose built PT car can also look great and look different than anything on the street. The challenge is working with different types of paint and material finishes. Steve Chryssos has also been helping out with a few ideas on this build and has been the catalyst for really pushing the envelope on developing this ride into something brutally unique. Be sure to check back to see more on Jakes ride.

• Tom Razzano’s Pro-Touring 1968 Camaro Convertible – Tom Razzano approached me at SEMA about working with him on his Camaro Convertible. We’ve discussed a few paint scheme ideas and basically the overall look of the car. This will be another killer PT Camaro so stay tuned for more info on it.
