Some of you remember a while back I posted some ideas of my turbo V6 Chevette. For kicks I emailed Car Craft and they liked the idea. They printed a photo and the latest concept design drawing on page 15 of the August issue. It's like a dream come true, -sniff- like since I was 12 I wanted to be featured in a mag, -sniff- Freiburger, I love you man! I really dig the new Car Craft style, so I bought a 2 year sub. Having my ride in there was just icing on the cake. :headbang:

I saw the car, but didn't know it belonged to anyone here. Congrats.

Nice :icon996:

That is funny, after reading that article I came straight here and did a search on Chevette, but you have no photos or sketches posted!!

I originally posted a while back in the "Welcome to our message board" section on December 28, titled "New guy with a twisted idea"

Here are the shots they printed for me. I've decided to take the car a step further than originally planned and tub it to fit 285-30-18's out back. That way I can run a 26x10.50 sticky DOT for track use. I'm thinking that the original plan of 215-40-17's would have a serious lack of traction.

I saw it in the magazine and I remembered that I saw it first on this forum. Good job Ben.
