Re: [AMC-list] Car magazines are bugging me - how about daily drivers

I like Auto Restorer too.  The Larry Lyles series on paint and body work have been a great resource.   But I think many of the articles about the featured cars and trucks could be written better.

Bruce (and Tom J.),

I think the magazine you're looking for it called Auto Restorer Magazine (http://www.autorestorermagazine.com/ar/). There is some high end stuff from time to time, but the bulk of it is nicely restored or original stuff done by your average Joe over time. The have every thing from brass era to muscle cars and both foreign and domestic makes. This includes things like commercial and military vehicles to even the occasional 80's ride.

I get Hot Rod and Car Craft but Auto Restorer is by far my favorite (Car Craft is my #2 favorite). The thing I like the most is that they will actually take the time to go through stuff and they've spread out projects over the course of a year (or longer) to make sure they cover the tech pretty well. If you ever wanted to get your car in a magazine, I think this would be a good one to do it with. What you're doing with your American would fit in well.
