If you want to be featured in one of the major magazines, your car better be one of three things; over-the-top, something completely different, or cost a bazillion dollars to build. If you miss on any of those 3 criteria...you're chances of a feature in magazines such as Car Craft, Hot Rod, Popular Hotrodding, etc are slim to none. You have a sweet car there, Eric...but I would aim for "Readers Rides" or "Hometown Hotrodding". Nothing wrong with getting in there, hell I hope to get into one of those sections someday. But if you still feel like you want to try for that feauture, I would say your best bet might be over at Camaro Performers or Chevy Hi-Performance where they don't put so much emphasis on the "Wow!" factor.

That's the reality of it. I wish it wasn't like that...but in this industry..."sex sells".
