Wow, its barely July. Didnt think the results would be posted till tomorrow. Damkid runs a tight ship over here in the FOTM forum. Thank you all very much !!!!!!!! Im honored to have won over the other very nice entries. I really didnt think my chances were that good. This part of deatheggs entry could have been from my own mouth.

"I see that many FOTM entries are those with engine swaps, Aspire conversions, etc, which of course is all well and good. The story of my Festy however is more a story of survival, or at least, long-life"

I bought two festivas new in 1993 and love the stock festivas for what they are. Im the guy who said he'd never do an engine swap but Ive done about everything else you can do to a stock festiva and this car was going to have to be worked over from the bottom up anyway so I figured I try this route. Im glad I did . Ill keep working on the car this summer, Ive got some improvements and upgrades in mind. I love driving the car. I did break out my usual summer driver ( festdiva ) today though and probably will give Frankenstiva a break for a while if I can stay out of it.

Once again thank you very much for the honor. The July picture on the FFC calendar is a Red White and Blue Trio of three of my other cars so July will be a big month here at the Ranch !!!!!

:lol: I try :lol: i like to have it where when everyone wakes up on the first of the month, the winner is already posted

And i told you that you had a great entry this month and would probably win

Well, As I said in my entry, this is the first time I've entered, and I was so pleased to see how many votes I received, so thank you all for that!

I will enter again...I have my "Ultimate Festiva" project in my head, but it's gonna take a few years to build a car the way I want it, so look for my entry in, oh, about 2012!
