I made the cover of a magazine!
Was contacted by Vette Vues and asked if they could do a story on OVRKL. Long story short, they didn't just do an article on the car, they put it on the cover of the July 2013 issue.
I'm pretty excited about this and wanted to share with all you guys.
I also, for the very first time ever, put together a list of all of my mods for this article. I always resisted because I didn't want to make it easy to add up the prices.... I bet I forgot a few, but that should cover most of it!
I'm happy to say that there are a lot of forum vendors listed on my parts list!!!
On to my pics of the article. Can't wait to get this baby framed!
Bummed they didn't get a picture of my new interior in the article. More pics in the link in the sig or posted in other spots here on CF!

I threw out the names when they asked for information. I was surprised that most of them stuck! Kind of nice to give a little extra back to some great vendors. Most all of my experiences purchasing stuff have gone so well over the years. I know I forgot some, but I tried to get those folks that did the real custom work.

Congratulations! Quite a feather in your cap!!
But, boy did they screw up BIG time! Featuring a C5 on the COVER that has BSMs!! My gawd, it's gotta be the end of the world coming.

Congrats Chris! They did your efforts justice with that awesome, multi-page layout.
