Was looking through the new issue of PHR and notices one of our own Brian in ink, Looks good, how far are you along now??

And he's advertising on the back wall, cool, Check it out!

Enjoy the boots, I wear Timberlands here at work can't beat em.

I might have to send a pic of my 68 in, as Trapin sez "68s rule" Steve

Congrats Brian and thanks for the plug! I got my copy last week at the airport and it was all I could do to not leak the story all weekend.


I may have to get me a pair of those boots too. I've never found a pair I really liked.

Thanks guys. Ya, Steve and I threw a surprise or two in there(Larry and Marks ink). I will have to wait until next month to see it because of work. Damn this being away from home crap.

It is not much further along than that. I have it back down to the shell so I can do some sheet metal work and start the 3 link.

What is this about boots? I am in the dark there.

It is exciting to get some ink and I hope the car will be nice enough for more when I am done with it. Thanks Steve.

Your welcome, I had to post it up, some of us smaller guys don't get that much attention, us poor 68 owners,LOL

Don't worry either am I, gas is going down, got a couple side jobs this weekend, pay off some crap, save some money, vicious cycle,

Because Steve picked your car you win a pair of Timberland boots, check the mag,

Hey, you sent in a kick ass shot and won... you deserve the prize.. which in this case was a pair of Timberland Boots. You need to email me your size and address :)

We are scrounging up prizes for each month.. sometimes it's wax, sometimes boots.. might even be a diecast. You never know.

Hometown (to me) is what PHR is all about.. the readers and the "average joes" trying to build a hot rod and actually drive it. I have pushed hard for this section and it keeps getting more space and it also keeps moving towards the front of the magazine.

Also, I have pushed to write longer write-ups on each car instead of two sentences. Most cars have a cool story attached to them and I like writing them. Sorta like "mini features".

Congrats Brian on the ink, the win and for taking the time to send me such a nice shot.

Brian....I forgot to say congrats. I can't wait to see the car completed, should be killer. And another '68 that we '68 owners can be proud of.

To me...thats what a car magazine should be all about. I know a lot of people like the tech articles or the event coverage stories...but as far as I'm concerned, the best part of car magazines is the actual car features themselves. And I love the fact that you are doing what you're doing over there Steve, to push for more "reader's rides" based stories.

Hell...Hometown is the first section I read. Those are my people.:Alchy:

You guys keep saying 68', but it is a 67. Since I cannot see the story I can only guess that it says it is a 68 in there. I will have to check to see what I sent Steve on the year I told him what it was.

I don't remember what I put.. no wind-wings in the pic means I could have screwed up. I will look later today.

I will toss a couple extra issues in with the boots :)

Ahh yes...'67. Hence the "67" in your username. You'd think I would have picked up on that by now. LOL!!!!
