Customs Attitudor's Chevy 'Queen of Diamonds' gets some publicity

The editor of V8-Mag called me couple months ago and wanted to make a story of my car. Today it came out. I'm very happy with the result. The cover pic was such a surprise though... Good article with nice pictures. V8-Magazine is the best and oldest mag for car people in Finland. "Ruuturouva" means Queen of Diamonds.

Congrats! It's a cool, clean car. Got the mag yesterday and tumbled through it, this one got my full attention! The nice, flowing chop was designed and done by Janne Kutja, right? The color suits the car perfectly.

 

Congrats!
That kind of articles keep me going with my subscription,i guess thats the only reason.
Too bad that magazines quality gets lower every year.What we need in here is a good quality hot rod & kustom mag...

 

Congratulations...
Very nice feature on a very nice Custom.

 

Kaptain Kustom: Thank you. Yes the chop job was designed and executed by Janne Kutja. I really like how the lines flow now! Janne did good work.

Finnrodder: Thanks. I agree. Though it was nice to see that they are able to write a good story when they get some help...

Rikster: Thank you! I appreciate!!
