Re: [AMC-list] Car magazines are bugging me

Sometimes the task of detail and pics is the builder/owners fault. 
 
When I built my American I would have had to use a disposable camera, pay for developing, all things that would have taken precious money away from the project. IIRC, I had about $50 a month to work with. 

Now a days, everyone has a digital.   Remember, with older builds there may simply have not been the time and cash to fully document what we all do routinely now.

Bruce---did you take time to send your letter to HCC? If you don't let them 
know, they won't divine that you feel that way. Even though Dan Strohl 
(proud to call him a friend) works for Hemmings-at-large and is an AMCer 
himself, he can only do so much advocating at editorial planning meetings 
before he's told to go sit in a corner (my guess since he's the "kid" on 
staff). I'm sure he'll see this thread and chime in with his $0.02 worth.

I actually don't mind reading restoration stories so much. My gripe with 
restoration stories is the lack of BEFORE photos & information. I want a 
complete run-down and run-through on the car before it ever makes it into 
the garage. I want to see the derelict-hulk-in-the-field in all its glory so 
that I can contrast the finished product.

The most recent Muscle Machines did a resto article on a 65 Skylark GS that 
showed a photo of the car as it was found, in a field. More, please!
