I was up at the Fun Ford Weekend a few months ago when one of the editors saw my Mustang and asked me if I wanted to be in PHM. We ended up doing the photo shoot in Escondido a month ago which I was told was going to be in the April issue of PHM.

What really kills me is that I almost didn't go to FFW, Dustin (10secgoal) pretty much talk me into it. Now he says that I OWE him big for making me go

I really excited, I have always wanted to be in a magazine but never thought it would happen to me.

Your right, I'll order the steak, you can get the lobster. We'll dine and dash and leave him to pick it up.
Hells yes we'll get a free plug, as long as they don't photo shop the stuff out. Or take it out of the tech info at the end of the article. BUt they emailed and said they photo shopped the DP out. So on the low, head-on pics, I guess it'll be gone. He painted it silver to make it stand out.

you talking about the downpipe? no offense toward your work, but when looking at the front end, it does stick out. just an observational opinion

That's why we painted it silver. It didn't stick out enough when it was black. You do what you can with the room you have.
