yeah i forgot to tell her.... it was good for a laugh or two.
the funniest expressions are of cashiers when you buy all the issues off the rack, i always get some really odd comment about that one.

I cant say enough about that car and I wish you still had it so we could keep looking at it on here, I loved to watch the cars progress over the years and it will be missed for sure. I just hope your next project stays thirdgen because Im sure whatever you do will bring more respect to that type of car as you seem to do great and tasteful work especially when every other car out there is way overdone due to the tuner guys making it seem like the norm and muscle car guys dont get the attention as much anymore.

as far as the magazines technically it isn't suppose to be on newstands until the 23rd however some get them early and many keep them in back until the previous issues sell. the best way is to track down a place that sells the magazine period and just ask for it. if they test you tell them its your car, they won't know and they'll be surprised you know what's on the cover already.

This car has made me want to get the 91-92 highrise spoiler all winter.
I still haven't decided... but man it's tempting!

i just sold one for $80 shipped which netted me a whole $11 and the rest went to shipping. check the for sale section as they are all around for reasonable prices.
as far as the car... i don't want this to be a discussion of the new. it will be a few months, i am sure it won't disappoint.

Darn Mr.Blackburn... if only I'd have known. I recently bought one off ebay for $95 however I didn't clearly read that the seller would take the item to UPS for shipping and packing.. cost me $88 alone for s/h! Not to mention the bolt hold-down's are cracked and damaged
I'm still waiting for my aluminum L98 heads to arrive

Jeff,
Once again I have to hand it to you - that car is/was drop dead gorgeous! It is so tastefully put together that it is just stunning.
Im very much looking forward to see what you have in store for the current project - Im sure it will be another great creation. I must say I had hoped for a ragtop project - but Im confident it will be exciting no matter what
Your attitude and perspective is inspiring to the rest of us - so keep up the good work bud!!
Ken

so you paid $95 for the item and then they charged you another $88 to ship?
see i was quoted $35 to ship so i asked $80 even though i paid $100 i wanted to make some of it back. got there and they wanted just over $60 to ship. i didn't anticipate it but it was my mistake so i bit it and paid the price to keep the buyer happy.

Man i cant wait for the day that i go to the store and buy like 15 copies cause my car is in it.

yeah that's one of three favorite pictures out of that shoot. i actually posted here and over at cz28.com when i was doing the shoot inviting everyone for a generic bbq meet and greet day. the photographer was actually looking for other possible vehicles to do write ups on but i wasn't allowed to tell what it was for. over 40 cars showed up and some 60 people throughout the day for a great bbq and meet. that end shot as the sun set had over 30+ remaining people standing by the car as the photographer stood atop a picnic table with an open time lapse and tripod setup.
they had some really cool photos of everyone blurred around the car but unfortunately they blocked the lines of the car so they weren't used. out of 498 shots and some 20 time lapse photos we were luckily he got one in that didn't hide the lines and that's the one you see...

WOW Thats inspiration.....
That is my goal also, to reverse the common stereotype of the thirdgen. I see many fox body mustangs that have been saved and done nicely in OklahomaCity, but no 82-92 car around here even comes close to that....

i wanted to repaint the car and redo the interior, well it was cheaper to sell a car with good paint and good basic interior. i'd rather loose a little money parting the car out to people that want the individual parts then just loosing alot keeping it all on. i was able to convert it to stock z28 specs, new of course for 1/8th the price of the parts i pulled off and still get a good amount for it. just made more sense.

Well I finally found a copy, and wow. Great job. I must have stared at those pictures for an hour. And you even gave me a few ideas. Oh and by the way, I really liked that Boze shirt and Air RIde hat yuo were wearing.

i'm not sure as it varies state to state. i found them at all major book/magazine stores, 7/11's have them here as well as the grocery stores. it is sort of hit and miss unlike the other primedia magazines though so i'm not really sure. may not even be out at all places yet as it wasn't suppose to be on newstands as soon as it did. unfortunately you'll just have to look around, you could order them direct but they charge $8 an issue which is outrageous.

My only problem is that I only have a two car garage and I wouldn't want my next 3rd Gen to sit outside any more than I would either of my '99s!
Great car and congratulations on the magazine covers!

I guess I'm a little late on this, but congrats Jeff. It was a great car, and I look forward to seeing your next one... whenever it is you let us see it!
And a little tip to save you some money. When the new issues come out larger book stores usually keep the issues from the last month in the back. If you make friends with someone at borders or something they will usually give them to ya! (I used to do this back in the day when my band got write ups)

Congrats Kandied91z! She turned out nice!
I smell a targa top 91-92 Z with a LS-2, and possibly a power adder or two in the works!
Am I close?
After I get the new wheels and finish the turbo TPI project, I may need some contact info from ya for a mag or two.
Anyways, I hope you get her back and I hope it's in the budget to build to 2 sick cars!
Good luck,
Mike

thanks everyone.
no the plate was a standard plate. i had classic insurance but the car isn't old enough to have a classic plate. as far as the plate it self my late grandfather came up with it. he use to always say the car must be all for show as all i ever do is work on it and right when i was getting ready to order a plate he passed away.
