Had the photoshoot with a well known Ford magazine last week for a full feature, wont say too much incase they dont want me too.....made up seeing as we built her from scratch, and was pretty much told to scrap it when we first started the project.

Just goes to show your hard work can pay off!

why cant you say to much after all you own the car? is it an official state secret or a article in a glossy mag?
its good to see something youve done put into print though.

It's really satisfying seeing your car in a magazine and having the feature done/professional pics etc, after you've put all your hard work and money into it!
Fair play mate as already said it was a bit of a nail before and you've turned it into a really nice example now !!

Well done chap, top work.
I'd imagine it'd be pretty nice having a feature, not like they'd ever want my shed garnishing their pages! ha

Mags tend to look for unique things really, so I can see how you might feel offended because in a way it's not giving you the recognition for all the hard work. But they don't mean to, they simply say yes or no and want cars that entice readers to buy the mag.

Fair enough, but you see what makes the pages and cover. If it's anything realistic like that and would entice you to look at it in a group of random cars at a show, then you'll be alright.

Love to feature your car. When you've asked before it wasn't finished, and we can never give a definite yes till it's done. I've expressed an interest in the car several times, so sorry if I've not made it obvious fella!
