No photograph survives for this story — the Internet Archive never captured the magazine's photography for this page. This is the preview the magazine published online; the full story ran in ISSUE 8: PETE HARRIS' CREAMSICLE.

Have you ever had to do something that you just can’t get around to doing? Or, better yet, have you done something once, only to know you can do it better? I’m not talking about this ’34 Ford five window, owned and built by Eli Horst. I’m talking about my ability to get it in this mag!

Oh sure, the car is definitely worthy of the ink; that has never been the problem. The problem was that I couldn’t ever find the time to get back to the car, even though I had shot it once before! The first photo shoot was three years ago, and back then the car looked a little different and had a different motor. Although it was an Olds, it wasn’t nearly as nice as the current one. Shortly after I originally shot the car, Eli had it lettered up as you see it here in our second go at it. Hopefully, my perseverance has paid off and you enjoy the new images and story.
