I thought that may have been him but there was something that made me second guess that at the time.
Congrats!! |

When did they contact you to have the photos taken and get your story? I'm wondering because your car is doing a burnout... is the C4 rear really ready to see the road or did they first get it in the magazine now?

I'm wondering because your car is doing a burnout... is the C4 rear really ready to see the road or did they first get it in the magazine now? The burnout is on the old solid axle. The photoshoot was done in October, before I started cutting the car up. Jim McIlvane the photographer saw the car in a restaurant parking lot during the power tour last summer. He left his card on my window and the rest is history. When the author contacted me I told him I was doing the swap, that is why it is included. I sent him pictures of the car under way so he knew I wasn't bluffing. |

Since they know progress is being made, they are likely going to want a follow up story when it is complete and dialed in. Score!!! lol
Speaking of the swap, how long do you think it will be before it's drivable? |

2-3 weeks before it is mechanically sound is the plan at this point. I want to get it mechanically sound, and rebuild the T5 in my Trans Am before I move in 5-6 weeks.
