Ok were to start. First off most people here know me as a do it your selfer that loves showing others how to do small to large projects. The reason I like doing this is because I grew up in a house were the only thing my parents were into was Golf

So almost all my fabrication skills started by reading every car mag on the shelf (and I still have everyone today). But back in the 80's and early 90's their were alot more do it your self articals in the different mags and today their are still good ones from time to time but alot more "Flash" articals of new trucks or 50K old trucks not the backyard truck that granpa parked because it was falling apart 15 years ago and now you want to fix it up kind of trucks.
So the reason I do so much as far as builds and How-to stuff on this site is to get more people back into old cars and trucks. I agree that the Low buck stuff will have a great following but the high end stuff sells mags as well to a different market but that helps keep it on the news stand for us as well. As for advertising being placed in and out of articals that is just what they need to do to get the buisness to advertise with them. Do you guys realize if all the advertisments were in the back and you never looked at them and the buisness pulled their adds what it would cost for each mag you bought $8-15 easy. So that being said they do what they have to do so we can afford to keep buying our 8-12 mags a month

By now most of you guys have run accross one or more of my builds on this site from 67 extended cab, 68 4 door crew cab, Project slow build, Lemon Drop and my curent personal build for the site is "LFD's Low buck truck build". I might be wrong but from how many people look at these posts I would say their are just what we all want. Here is my LWB to SWB bed chop from this week end http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=223158&page=9 and if their is anything I can do for you guys with your Truck Builders mag let me know. I think it would be great for this board to get some of its members in the mags to get more people to this site.

So if their is any I can help out with please let me know.
