[TUFCAT]

I've been looking since Tuesday and finally got my paws on a copy!    Congratulations Bill!    BEAUTIFUL car and great article.     The best thing is that he did all that work himself!     This Mann has Talent.

[bill440rt]

Aw man, that is SO cool to see!  
Thanks for posting that, Tufcat.   I am still searching for a copy. I subscribe but haven't gotten it yet, and haven't found it yet at the news stands so far.
Cliff Gromer did the photo shoot 3 years ago at Carlisle when it was in the T-building (Thanks, Brian S.!). There have been even more changes to the car since those pics were taken.
I wasn't sure if they were ever going to feature it until Cliff called me a few months ago for an interview. He was really great!
The write up was great in true M.A. "tongue in cheek" fashion, my family enjoyed it very much as we'll!

Oops, just got your reply. Thx!
Seats are Corbeau GTS II's, custom upholstered to match the stock seat pattern.

Congratulations Bill!  Looks like a great write up and that kind of recognition must feel good. It is certainly well deserved!

[bill440rt]

Thanks again guys, really much appreciated. 

Yes, it is very cool (and humbling) seeing your car in print. Still trying to find some copies where I'm at, but I'll get my hands on a few soon.

Wow, congrats man....

[PlainfieldCharger]

Bills work is incredible. Very talented person. He keeps raising the bar....

Congrats Bill, well deserved.  Was it three years ago when you were in bldg T, or two when you were on the fun field?  I thought two because you didn't have those seats the year she was in the T, did you?

Oh, and to dispel the rumors that all of the work was done by Bill himself.  Ahem ahem.  Someone had to expertly apply just the correct amount of pressure on the brake pedal while Bill bled his brakes.  Someone that had the right amount of expertise in sitting, able to comprehend complex instructions, strong calf muscles and great at taking beers as payment for his time.  That's right, the Banana Man himself ladies and gentlemen.

I had more than just the Big Banana. Many others from this board too, I've thanked each one many times.
Closing credits of thank you's went to Just6T9, ChrisG, firefighter, KevinRTvert, 69Our/Tea, WHITE AND RED, and many others.
You should see the blooper reel. 

PS Dan- It was 3 years ago. Time flies!

Haha, yep, just playing around. You're probably right about the year.  Damn, we're getting old.  BTW, I checked every news stand in Penn Station this morning and none of them carry Mopar Action!  I'm still looking for a copy.  I can't wait to get it autographed!
