  2. Congratulations, Squirrel, I may have to go to the newsstand.
     
  3. Abone is preaching the gospel, if you stop and think what squirrel does with that car, he damn well deserves to be on the cover of a magazine. :cool:

    Very cool!
    3 time Drag Week veteran here, so I know how much is involved in doing that event. It'll put you through hell, but (hopefully) you come out smiling :)

    He is like Madonna or Elvis… doesn’t need a second name. Just mention squirrel and most gear-heads will nod and smile.

    All jokes aside, congrats Jim on the magazine cover - well deserved.

    Cheers,
    Harv

    @squirrel, if I send you a copy of the mag and a self addressed stamped envelope, will you autograph it? Or, maybe I'll just hang out at Lloydfest in hopes you show up. ;)

    I think I mentioned this before, the only way a vehicle I own would be on the cover of a magazine, is if I parked on it.

    Nice Jim!!!

    Nice Jim! Is your sidekick in the passenger seat asleep or calling out directions to you from his cell nav?

    he's usually looking at a map, and the directions to follow the assigned route. He doesn't use a phone to navigate...this is a traditional car, you know....so we get lost often

    Congrats on the Hot Rod Mag feature.

    It looks like Jim's car is SO friggin' fast...that the body can't keep up with the chassis;):D

    The HAMB is full of famous hot rodders!! Congrats Jim. I got to be inside our Canadian Hot Rods magazine back when I was building my coupe. The famous Christmas edition with Mr. Norwell's art gracing the cover. Kinda of a boyhood dream to have anything in any car mag...

    It's nice to see a home built no frills car not only perform so well on the street and at the track but, also get a little recognition in major magazine. Congratulations, well done!
     
  30. Any chances for autographed copies if we mail em to him?
