Over the years, many of you had seen my work in Mustang Illustrated, Mustangs & Fords, and Hemmings Mustang Guide.

I'm now doing fun technical for KIT CAR, here is a link to last month's issue, and the brand new issue show's Cobrask8 in racing trim, and article about putting a Cobra on the track.

Check it out!

Do you get a royalty for every time we click that link? If so I'll click it twice!

Awwwwwww; c'mon Dan - you know we love ya, Big Guy!
EDIT: Besides which, she started it! (And my wife joined forces with her!)

Cool article! Once Catrin's prowling again, I'd like to run a few ideas past you on going LED for her tail lights. There's stuff out there for up to 1970; but (of course) nothing for the 71-2-3 crowd. Obviously, that's gonna require one of your 555-timer sequencers as well; so I'm thinking it will be time to pick your brain vis -a- vis series/parallel, ballast resistors or not, etc.

When will we be seeing pics of a "punkin swap"; complete with using brake drums as slide-hammers to pull the axle shafts? (Again)

First off i would just like to say you STILL have probably one of the most B.A. jobs on the planet. Secondly i will not take responsibility for the thrashing you are receiving, i have been to busy to cause trouble.

Ahh, I've been getting hammered for years here, and I love every minute of it.

And all the years of Magazine work have only been part time. In my real job, I am working with NASA and space simulatirs. Now THAT's cool!

Dan,
Congratulations.
I would love to work in the car hobby field.
I am sure that just like any other job.... there are good days and there are bad days.
But I would think that the good days are really GOOD
