PROFeSSOR
eARNS TOP MARKS
Roger Burman, owner of Lakeside Rods &
Rides in Rockwell City, Iowa, is a Camaro
buff. His customers, Dave and Karen
Leisinger, are also huge fans. So when
they came to Lakeside with their '71
Camaro SS for a radical build, they had
high expectations. They weren't
disappointed. Burman turned their car
into an award-winning tribute to drag
racing legend and Leisinger family friend,
Warren "The Professor" Johnson.
Dubbed The ProfeSSor, the Camaro has
already taken home a Goodguys Muscle
Machine of the Year award, a Mothers
Shine Award at SeMA, and landed a
finalist spot for Street Machine of the Year
at the Goodguys PPG Nationals.
For The ProfeSSor's finish, Roger Burman
turned to Deltron DBC basecoat and
DCu2002 clear. The silver color (code
909459) is a nod to Porsche's 2010 GP
Silver. The super-bright Blue Aqua Hot
Licks accents recall 1980s styling.
Given its several awards and show-
stopping looks, there can be no doubt that
The ProfeSSor is at the head of the class.
