A double page spread on my Ultima in Januarys edition of this magazine! Published on the 3rd Friday of each month, (which was yesterday) so should be available any day now.

I have an advanced copy here. Custom Car is all about American hot rods and the like. The Ultima is featured under their section "Quarantine"
"Each month in quarantine we bring you something that doesn't usually appear in CC. Yet will still grab your attention. This month we look at Gary Grist's home built Ultima GTR. It's Chevy powered, scrapes the tarmac and is damn fast...."

Don't forget to vote for it!

Gary

Well, Ian. Don't tell anyone else, but it was towed
Quite weird being pulled along 6 ft behind a Renault Master.

No real progress on the engine at the moment. It's almost ready to come out, but been so busy at work this last month. Worked the last 3 weekends and this one too, hence the early post!
Ditto (alias Keith) has kindly offered to come up and check it out as soon as it's out. Hopefully anyday now as I hope to finish for Christmas tomorrow!!

Bought the mag Gary, nice two page article at the back!

Not sure about the editors thoughts on adding flames to the paint work though!

Readers have the chance of voting for the magazines "guest" car of the month so if you want to help Garys cause, vote away:

vote "LIKE IT" (and for the sake of balance) "hate it" or "not bothered" to cc.vote@kelsey.co.uk and write "ULTIMA" in the subject line!

Bought Custom Car today.

You get my "like it " vote. Hope to take mine to the Pod next summer. Good luck with the engine work Gary.

Got Feburary's edition just to see how the Ultima faired on the voting!

73% hated it (with a passion)
27% liked it.

I used to be into custom cars, I still like them. There just jealous because are cars go round corners fast not just on the straights.
