THIS MONTH'S COVER: Keri Bland-Dickerson dropped by CAR.S. in Van Nuys, California, to lend a helping hand as work wrapped up on her boyfriend's '69 RS Camaro. That's C.A.R.S. owner Jack Garabedian in the foreground.  His shop is best known for outstanding work on Ferraris and Porsches, but he still gets involved in '60s musclecars. Scotty Killeen set up the camera and barked out the instructions as the shutter snapped. Jim Resnick shot the Corvette inset.
