I went to the store to buy up a few copies, but it was not on the shevels. What month's issue is it in? I found a Sept, 2008 issue but it had a 47 Chevy on the front. Damn I won't one

P.S., It's not that I did want to share, it's just I wanted to make sure it was going to make it first. But know that it's out I can share a few of the photos the photographer Rick Amado gave me.

Was it a silver and purple '47? I went on Classic Trucks website and that was the main feature that was on there. It must be the old one.

Kabwe · 07-30-2008, 01:47 PM

Well lets all say congrats to Cal for making the cover. I get them mailed and it says October 2008, you would think they would mail you a copy when you make the cover. The cover and a feature is a big deal to me. I guess they mail them in advance to subscribers.

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

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.

54 jimmy · 07-30-2008, 08:53 PM

congrats

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.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-01-2008, 01:43 PM

Damn congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nuke1 · 08-01-2008, 07:46 PM

hey cal, i just got my copy of the magazine today at my door and look who is on the front cover, that is a big big congrats to you, you deserve it, glad to see it in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GKsport67 · 08-02-2008, 05:35 PM

Congratulations!!!
