$$$$ Put the cost in actual dollars,not magazine freebies in every tech/how-to article.Most mags have some older projects and leftover parts they use in a build,and while we all do that most of us don't have an extra set of aluminum heads lying around.Do a long term buildup on a daily driver.Where you can only do weekend long projects to it.You know one rocker panel at a time instead of putting it on a rotisserie.Junkyard cheap mods would be great articles.Maybe a junkyard cheapie page each month.Do basic repair/replacement articles.Teach the newbies how to change ball joints and give some of the more experienced guys tips to make it easier.
Start a truck that's been sitting for 10 years and build it to a reliable driver to sell to fund another project.
I like show coverage also.The Chevy/GMC Truck Nationals in Maggie Valley NC is one of my favorites.It's coming soon and there will be quality trucks there.
Take us to a swap meet and teach us how to find the deals and what to avoid.
Build a truck then "Drive it like a rental",somewhat like Stacy David does.Tell us what worked and what broke.Let us know what you would do different next time.Don't just make the mistakes let us learn from them.
OK that's what I came up with off the top of my head.
