I’m back with some burnout pics. Many of my build ideas come directly

from your (^) magazine. I (^) love the “Hands On” sections and the muscle
truck articles. Now that I’m retired I hope to make (^) it to one of your
events. Keep up the good work and I hope (^) to see us in (^) the Burn Out sec-
tion again. This would be a cool tradition to carry on for a longtime sub-
scriber and older gearhead.
