    Childhood dream of having my car in a magazine

    Growing up I spent countless hours reading car magazines and dreaming of the day I could have a car worthy of a magazine. The magazines have eluded me thus far, despite several TV appearances on Street Outlaws, Chasing Classic Cars with Wayne Carrini, Bad Ink on A&E TV, and a Special Olympics commercial.

    This year has brought my goals though with both the cover of a calendar AND a magazine cover and feature article. I know magazines are a dying breed but it is a huge thrill for me to have this exposure for the car. Vegas Auto Mag if you want to see the whole magazine online.

    Congrats on fulfilling your dream. Your car turned out great. I still remember going to the school library when I was 7 years old and flipping through all the car mags. 50 years later still enjoying them for both production and custom cars.

    That's awesome - congratulations. Building and driving your own car is certainly a reward in and of itself, but the recognition FFR owners receive - especially something like this - is the icing on the cake.
    Later,
