I also hung out with Kevin around the world at a few Olympias, Arnold's and Grand Prixs. He was always a good bloke, good fun and just a little different.

We got on the drink a few times and boy can he drink. I remember after an Arnold prejudging, he was a bit flat so we sat at the hotel bar slamming vodka. He went back to the finals about 20% sharper. Anyone else would have been wiped out.

I still get the occasional email and will try to get him to Oz in 2013 for a legends seminar that I am planning.

Awesome! Any pictures with Kevin??

I thought I would share this with all the fellow fuel-heads.

After 3 years of non stop fabrication, invention, dollars, blood, sweat and tears, the truck was unveiled at FitX this weekend.

It is a 1969 Chev c10. Originally had a tired old 327, stock with no mods at all.

Now a lexus engine with twin turbo, twin superchargers and NOS.

Airbagged, chopped, lengthened, all steel body fabrication, suicide doors, beaten copper throughout, hardwood tray, etc, etc, etc.

I will post more pictures of the engine and interior as I get a chance, in the meantime, here it is.

Who do you mean by the new guys?

Top 3 at Olympia is huge, I am not super impressed by anyone right now, as in new guys. Maybe Beyeke & Rolley.

Yes I do, he is driven beyond belief and has not reached his peak yet.

There is only one person in the sport that could upset his plans if he nails everything on the day, that's ...... Kai Greene!

Schmidt from the back.

**TonyDoherty** · 04-09-2012, 11:24 PM

Side chest

Great pics Tony. Sonny Schmidt was always one of my favorite bodybuilders. By any chance has Derek Boyer ever made his way into one of your gyms?

Yes, many times. I know him well. He usually drops in for a workout when in Melbourne. Here he is onstage with Me and JOJ last year.
