I just talked to Alan Paradise, the Editor of Ragtops & Roadsters, and he tells
me the article will be 4 pages long. The issue goes to pre-press within the week
and should be out in about 3 weeks. Alan and a staffer did the photos and I
wrote the story. I haven't seen the edited version, so I make no promises as to
the final version. Alan say they want to do a follow up story in a couple issues
focusing on modified 510's. Don't get how 510s fit the Ragtops & Roadsters
theme, but what the heck. I'm going try to do one photo shoot up here and then
head down to Les' for a while and will try to set up some cars for Alan to
shoot. Anyone has any suggestions, let me know. Remember they want modified
Dimes, not stock.
