SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting that. I'm subsriber but the new issues hasn't got to me yet. At least I have somthing to look at for now.

Kabwe · 07-30-2008, 02:51 PM

See you had me feeling bad I was gonna offer mine if were not a subscriber. After all its your truck on the cover and your welcome man. I thought you would like to see the cover

Did you get a plug in for the great web site and all your friends here??

prostreeter58 · 07-30-2008, 07:23 PM

That is just too cool.........................well deserved!!!

Tri5Nerd · 07-30-2008, 07:48 PM

Cal, If anyone deserves it, it's you... I see a few more on this forum that deserves to be on magazine covers also but I won't name names.

Kim57 · 07-31-2008, 12:22 AM

Congrats Cal. The truck looks great, I can't wait until its on the news stand so I can pick one up.

CAL 58 GMC · 07-31-2008, 01:16 AM

Thanks everyone! When I was in my teens I would earn a few bucks mowing the neighbor’s lawn then head down to the store a buy a Hot Rod magazine and would dream someday of owning, building and having a car in a magazine. Well know I can say my dream came true. Thanks again to all of you who gave me encouragement when I was building my truck and believe me, there were times when I would be so burned out and didn't feel like getting out in my garage and work on the truck, but posting on this thread and someone would responded “hey nice job” or “looking good”, that’s the stuff that kept me going. So too all of you that are in the middle of your builds or still in the planning stage I hope my build can be an encouragement and as Joe Dirt said “Keep on Keeping on”!!

Kid · 07-31-2008, 01:08 PM

Congrats Cal, your truck IS front cover material, & to be on the cover of the best mag available is killer!

Hhan's 57 · 07-31-2008, 08:38 PM

Way cool Cal!! I can't wait to pick one up at the news stand.

Sinisterspeed · 07-31-2008, 08:57 PM

Wow, congrats CAL. I know it will sound like a broken record already but it's well deserved. I made it into a mag with my last car I built but never made it to the cover and of course not on such a huge mag either. Again, Congrats. Make sure you get at least 5-10 copies you will wish you did in 10 or 15 years when you want to pull it out and show someone. I have no more copies of mine. I wish I could still get one but it was along time ago.

mas09ts · 08-01-2008, 12:33 AM

Man that things just awesome, love the color.

solidaxel · 08-01-2008, 10:57 AM

Congrats Cal, you have a tough act to follow!!

GATORBUILT '59 · 08-01-2008, 01:12 PM

Congrats!!!!

**mr48chev** · 08-01-2008, 01:32 PM

Congrats on the truck making the cover. When I saw it, I said "hey I know that truck."

It's a very well done article and I don't think the editor hacked up what you wrote at all or much if any.

That's going to push the rest of us a lot harder to keep up now.

northerngmc · 08-02-2008, 07:30 PM

Well done, congrats to you and a great truck.....

dwcsr · 08-03-2008, 01:04 AM

From the very first pictures you posted everyone thought you would end up on at least one cover.

Daniel U · 08-03-2008, 02:34 AM

It's all been said over and over, but it bears repeating:"Congratulations!"

CAL 58 GMC · 08-03-2008, 03:49 PM

Thanks everyone for the overwhelming response!!! I really was wondering if it was ever going to make it in let alone the cover since the photos were taken last March. I finally got my copy in the mail and took it camping with me over the weekend and I’m proud to say I looked it over all weekend..lol.
