Steve,
Nice article on your 72 in HPP this month. I glanced over it when I stopped for breakfast on my way back to work from The GM proving grounds in Milford. Congrats.

I went out hunting for the magazine this morning and found them at Barnes&Noble. A very happy day! Just in time for my wife's birthday. She will be so surprised when I give her an autographed copy as her birthday present. Stay tuned for further updates!

Yup, Mr D photographed the car at the Performance Years Show in PA last May. He and one of his editorial guys Chris, wrote it up with a little assistance from me and my archive of photos and never-ending supply of useless trivia.

Congratulations. I just got my issue of HPP and realized the article was about your car when reading about your kids reproducing the chaulk marks on the firewall.

Just gave your feature article a quick glance Steve - I had NO idea that you were a tech editor for a car mag at one time!

How about coming clean - details please!

Mine showed up yesterday - will get a chance to read it tonight as well. Like Lloyd, I had no idea of your journalistic background Steve, though it should come as no surprise given the length and detail of your thread!
