Curious, how did they find out about your truck?

They contacted me via email back in late August and requested pictures to include some build pics and a Modification list. They only told my that they were interested in putting it in their Mag. I have also been contacted by Truckin Magazine. I have posted galleries on three other forums and I thinks they found me there.

Got one complementary copy from the editor but had to order more copies from the publishing company. They don't have distributors in the U.S.

Nice and well deserved! I only wish the pics were larger to be easier to read or could be downloaded, saved and enlarged.

Right click on the picture and open in a new tab. Then use the browser zoom on that tab. Zooming to 250 to 300% allows you to see the pictures well. The text is readable but slightly blurry.

Good job, Mike! I'm surprised they didn't flip the pictures over so the steering wheel would be on the right side!

Yea, I thought the same thing.

Strange coincidence - When I was interviewing painters, (5) , Wayne Sanders was the one that I wanted to do the F1 but due to his steep price I chose someone else. He is the fellow that moved to Falcon from England and had worked for Bentley as a painter. When we talked he was well familiar with the color I wanted to paint my F1 because it was used on the 2000-2005 Bentley. He also told me that he had painted the Queen's car. Had I used him as a painter, I would have provided his name as the painter which I am sure would have been in the magazine.
