Just to be honest right up front, this is a totally self serving post. I've been watching the one bookstore in Bakersfield that sells Kit Car Builder magazine waiting for the spring issue to come out. Steve Temple hinted there might be some shots of our gtm in that issue. Finally I got impatient and went to their website to see if it had been released yet. To my horror I found out they were not going to print the mar/apr edition. Instead it would be an all electronic version. At first I was kind of bummed because I would be deprived of asking the cashier who sells me the magazine if they believed that was my car on the cover.
But then I started to think about all the money I would save by just sending an email FB, or text instead of buying 20 copies and sending them to family and friends. And I always have my phone with me. It's hard to carry a magazine with you everywhere you go. Then I seen a pre release of the article and I was in awe. I've been in magazines and read car magazines all my life but have never seen such a complete article. Usually you are lucky if they can give you two or three pages to try and tell the story of your car. I would imagine an electronic version of a magazine would not have those space constraints. Or Steve Temple (new editor) was just generous with me because the pictures he took so well capture the car and the dream behind it.

Be sure to subscribe to the free magazine offer. http://www.kitcarclub.com/

I don't know if its been released yet but I can tell you from what I seen Kit Car Builder has a bright future.

Very nice car! Congrats on making the cover. Just finished my Roadster (after 6 months at body shop). Haven't driven except from trailer to garage.

Congrats Steve! Nice looking cover! I've had a subscription to KIT Car Builder ever since KIT CAR stopped publishing and switched everyone to Hot Rod without asking...

The articles are really good, and give some nice insight into builders and techniques used. Your car sure make the front of that magazine look GOOD!!!

Take care Buddy!

I'm am so excited to post this link. Finally seeing the article forced me sit back and reflect a little bit and remember all the good/bad times that the GTM represents in my life. Remembering that smell of new fiberglass when the kit first arrived? Or hearing the FFR Semi pulling up the street to deliver our car. Remember going through all the boxes and thinking I'll never figure out where all those pieces go. Hearing the motor fire up the first time. The first "OMG"go kart ride. The first time the doors closed correctly. Seeing the body and chassis together for he first time. First time I took the car to work. Going to the first car show and wondering If we were good enough to be there. I also remember the first rock chip, the first scratch and the first time I let the battery run down. Not so much fun during the event but all part of the experience.
I also remember one other first. The first time I posted on the forums. It was the beginning of something very special. So I would like to thank all the member's that have helped to make this project possible. Without your support, comments and encouragement, this would have been just another car. Instead, its a SUPER car in more ways than one.

Thank you everyone
