Just received my copy today.All i can say is,you do excellent work Rick.Mark,nice to see your car on the cover of MCR.

Thanks again. I have worked for 29 years to get a car on the cover and this is only my second time so we are quite happy.

I have tried to get Mark to comment but he hates attention and feels that the car should get the credit anyway and says he is just the caretaker. Thank goodness for caretakers like Mark.

As far as Annie doing most of the work I will say she did in fact did do a lot of it. She was a huge help on the headliner as well as many other areas. She loves working on these cars and in the shop and I will certainly not get in her way with that kind of enthusiasm especially when I am not paying her much if anything right now. She loves it so much she in fact took on a part time office/shop job with a custom rod shop in Springfield. Nothing like coming home to my gal and she smells like gear lube! Sometimes when I hug her I feel like I am hugging one of my car buddies. I gotta post some pictures of her someday when she is working in the shop. Quite comical.

----Rick,,,I had to dig my way out and hit a Barnes and Noble to see what all the hubub is about. Great article, great car. Red Alert is early, but not that early!.....Bill S

Congrats to Rick, Annie, and Mark on the cover car.....nice article. That car deserves to receive the attention considering what it represents in the musclecar era.

Seems like many these days express that they don't care for the green colors of yesteryear but when a Forest Green ext. is done well it is a great color as is shown with your Pilot Car example.

Congrats to Mark, Rick. and Annie. I remember when Harry Snow found that car, and now it received the restoration it deserved. A piece of automotive history!
