A good friend of mine (Neil VanOppre) used to write for the big car mags back in the `80's and `90's and was the editor for "Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords" for a while as well. He and another friend of his (Tony DeFeo) were also the driving force behind the short-lived "Cars Illustrated" magazine. While CI was only published for a few years back in the 1980's, it developed an almost cult-like following in that brief time.
Fast forward to today: An anonymous source obtained the rights to the old CI name, and I'm happy to report that the CI title has been resurrected in digital format.

Once again Tony & Neil are at the helm and are working feverishly to get things up & running again. The site is relatively new and there isn't a whole lot of content posted yet, but I am honored to announce that I will be contributing material for the site and my first article was posted tonight.

Most of you are already familiar with my 496 build, but Neil thought there was a lot of useful information to be shared from the build and asked if I would be interested in putting together a multi-part article for the site. Naturally I obliged.
Please take a few moments to peruse the site and read up on some of the other projects currently underway.
The next installment will be posted up as soon as I have time to get it wrapped up. If there's any interest here I'll post the updates in this thread.
