Couldn't resist. Now I just have to wait for my issue.

Congrats Joe, I'm actually surprised it took so long...If I had a magazine you could have the cover every month. Call me "81 biased" lol.

Congrats to you!!! Now when you go to Books A Million, buy them out. My wife and I did when my car was in there and I am now wishing I would have went back and picked up more issues.

I can't wait for my issue to arrive so I can read more about your car.

How awesome, your car deserves it!

Although I must admit when I saw the topic I thought this was about someone who found a special 82 CE car cover!

78Vette-SA:

Yours is another one of the stand-out cars that I truly appreciate. The level of thought, engineering and deftly applied $$ the car represents is terrific. I can only imagine how much fun that Bad Boy is to throw around, when the environment allows and hot to cruise when out for a ride. Wow. Just the visual of it sitting there evokes grace and brute power. Sexy.

Congrats on the cover; guess I need to get to the news-stand and look to get me a copy!

Thanks for the kind words! I am real anxious to see the write-up. I did have an opportunity to help tweak it several months ago but it will be interesting to see it in the layout.

As per a previous post it will also be displayed as one of the Chip's Choice cars this year (All Vette Rods including 1CoolC2's LS7 67 and Rich Lagasses incredible 63 Split Personality!). Now I just have to keep it on the road and in one piece between now and then.

Thanks again...

If any LS1 Vette deserves a cover feature it's yours. I may be down in the NYC area this summer and I'll have to try to plan a trip up to your shop to see that bad boy in person.

Thanks Rick. And anyone passing by is always welcome. Note though that I closed the shop months ago due to some health issues. Since then went back into the Corp IT world. But Joe's Garage is always open for friends and fun.

The craftsmanship on that car is absolutely top notch. It deserves the high honors it gets. And kudos to you for daring to go where most people restoring a car DONT

It is a level of comitment to your car that stands out

Can't wait to receive my issue. That is without a doubt on of the nicest rubber bumper C3's I've ever seen. Actually it's one of the nicest C3's period, chrome or rubber.

Thanks again - MUCH - to all!

I hope to get some 1/4mile times and perhaps even a Dyno run in to see what's really going on. It's been a long winter and now I'm going to drive it.

I've seen your car in person (Paramus show I believe) and it is well deserving a cover story.....congrats

BTW, did Bill Erdman do the photo shoot?
