Yours is way nicer! Super Chevy is a major publication. Way to go!
It has changed hands twice since they published that article on it. K-9's buddy did a really nice job and deserves all the credit.
Merry X-mas,

Back in the late 70s when I was the president of the "LONG ISLAND CHEVY OWNER'S ASSOC " I was asked by Late Great Chevy to have my club become the tri State Chapter of LATE GREAT CHEVY. I have no idea if they are still around. I asked the 250 + members if they wanted to have the L.I.C.O.A. become a chapter and the majority of them voted no. I suggested that if they wanted to join Late Great , they most certainly could do so.I bet I have that issue of Late Great, I was member #331 and have every issue until it was sold and turned into more of a parts magazine then I bailed, is Late Great still around ?

I think I have a picture of Kenny and one of his cars from our 1st car show "CHEVY SHOWDOWN" in I think 1978.
I will try to find it and post it here as soon as I can. I may even have a copy of our 1st newsletter "CLASSIC LINES " My friend Kenny Wells ( WENGINE)used to do the art work for the newsletter cover.
Now I got to get to searchin.
