Chevy Craft magazine showing us Fox Bird guys some love

I follow Chevy Craft on Facebook (Car craft, really, but I call it Chevy Craft because it's easier than typing out Camaro, Nova and Chevelle Craft), and a few days ago they posted an article about a Fox Bird they're building. It's a rough 87 TC that they're building into a twin-turbo'd, 460-powered brawler. I haven't seen the article in the magazine yet (I subscribe for the Krass & Bernie and engine build articles), but it looks like it's gonna be a monster of a car

I subscribe for the same reason. By the way, did you know Cartoons is back in circulation every other month?No Krass & Bernie (because they are in Car Craft), but still pretty great.
I'll be looking for my new issue in the mail pretty soon.

I will have to look for it. I've got a bunch of old CARtoons magazines somewhere. They, and George Trosley in particular, inspired me to draw a lot of cars when I was young

Trosley inspired me as well!!!! I love to draw cars. His style blew me away. I can pick a Trosley cartoon with ease.

I used to get Car Craft but really got sick of all the GM stuff.  I do like GM, but it was so biased that it was crazy.  Even all the ads were for LS swaps and stuff, lol.  I'll have to check this bird build out.  They'll probably drop a Lsx in it before it's said and done, ha ha.
