My wife, Joan, and I subscribe to your magazine and I know you are asking for pictures or websites of readers’ builds, so I thought I would send mine. My friends and I have a little “brag/how-to” site (www.wildwheelsauto.com). We are not for hire and have nothing to sell; we just love cars.
If you want pictures of any of the cars on the site just let me know, and I will be happy to forward them to you. If any of the cars catch your eyes I can also put you in touch with the owner. Take care and thanks for all the hard work. I enjoy reading CHP very much
You’re right; we’re always looking to check out websites with personal builds and what’s lurking in people’s garages. Thanks for sending in your website, and I hope this encourages more people to submit their place on the web.
I thought I was the only person who doesn’t get rid of cars and holds onto projects. Did I mention always wanting to buy more cars? I have a ’71 Camaro that I bought five years ago, and it’s still sitting in my garage on jackstands.
I just started a new job, and am looking forward to this year being a year I can finish my build. My wife wants me to build her an AC Cobra replica; she thinks they’re cute. Also, you have convinced me that I’m crazy. I’m from the old school of big-blocks, and am just getting hip to the LS motors. Thanks for the encouragement.
I’ve received a lot of similar responses, and it’s good to see so many of us are dealing with nearly identical predicaments. Besides, that just means we’re really normal, right? I’ll go ahead and say yes for all of us. Good luck with the ’71 and send us pictures after its finished!

With most of the winter all but gone in most of the states, it’s time to get that shine back into your ride. A stunning shine and flawless appearance are all possible with Meguiar’s quick Top 5 car care tips (www.meguiars.com).
1. Thoroughly Wash Vehicle: Washing removes loose surface dirt, salt, and road film and allows you to keep additional contaminants from building up on the surface. This is done by using a premium car wash product, such as Meguiar’s Ultimate Wash & Wax, as well as a high-quality wash mitt. It is also important to wash your wheelwells and undercarriage with high pressure as they tend to get the dirtiest during winter.
2. Deep Clean Interior: Your interior is subject to all kinds of moisture and debris during winter. Cleaning and rejuvenating your interior is one of the easiest ways to spruce up your vehicle for spring. Thoroughly vacuum all cloth and carpeted areas, including mats, and then use a premium carpet and upholstery cleaner.
3. Clay the Car: A smooth surface is key to making any polish or wax work properly. Since we recommend placing a good coat of wax on your car after winter, it is vital to “clay” your car as well. This will create a smooth surface and ensure the polish and wax will be maximized.
4. Apply a Coat of Wax: Maximum protection is vital for any season, so anytime is a good time to replenish your wax protection. In the springtime, it is often a good idea to apply two thin coats of Meguiar’s Ultimate Wax to the horizontal surfaces to ensure you have maximum coverage and protection. To seal the deal, remember to always use quality microfiber for quick and easy removal of wax.
