Congrats! Way to go. Do you think we can read the story on the on line version of their magazine?
Isn't Vintage Firetrucks the sister magazine of Vintage Truck? And they have another magazine in the family about old Tractors called Antique Power.

Heck yeah, frame that puppy. After all the TLC and exceptional attention to every detail, no matter how small that put into that beauty, it's definitely part of your family rite Now wouldn't you frame an article if it was on one of your other family members? Of course you would. "FRAME IT" Oops I didn't mean to raise my voice LOL. Oh and it's great that you found a way to get it running. Take care Keith.

Thanks Bobby. We set it up last weekend but my buddies meter was working to check it out. When I drove it back to the warehouse I checked to see how hot the resistor got. It was warm but not glowing cherry red. I think it will be a temporary solution.

Keith. Contact the publisher they should have sent you at least 10 copies. That is what the publishers I work with do for all feature articles. Congratulations and definitely have it framed.

Keith a lot of publishers have different newsstand covers. They don't need bar code for the subscription list copies and they don't need label white area for newsstand copies. Newsstand will usually have a attention grabbers for articles across the top so they are visible in the magazine racks. I'll check the store here in Lexington to see if they have it.
And send it to you if they do.

Keith,
I'm traveling this week for work. I stopped at the Barnes & Nobles in Las Cruces, NM a little while ago and picked up a copy of the magazine.
Great pictures!! I haven't read the article yet as I'm still drooling over the pics.
Woohoo
