Default GMHTP Feature!

Pretty excited to post this but my personal vehicle is featured in the current issue of GMHTP. I'm on cloud 9 about it and nice to see the hard work of family and friends put something like this together. The feature also gives some love to BLS as well

For those curious, you can search my username for the build thread.

Scott Parker is a class act and so is the rest of the staff I interacted with.

The magazine is on the newsstands per a number of text messages I've received and the website will probably updated shortly.

Thanks everyone. The car is never done but that's certainly not an abnormal feeling in the car hobby. They included my old track times but I have a track rental scheduled in November to set a new best.
