OK, so I'm trying to think of a last minute gift for my Dad. Last year as part of his gift, I got him Street Rodder magazine. He's enjoyed it all year. He's a techie guy like me, so any mag with alot of ideas and how-to articles is a plus. Any suggestions?
"The rodders journal" for sure, and "Traditional rod & Kulture illistrated"...can't go wrong with either. Gearhead is great too. Blake
I would say Rodders Journal too but I need TECH! That would be cool if there were a mag of the quality of rodders journal but all tech.
I like Rod & Custom.It has a lot of home built rods and customs unlike Street Rodder that seems to me to be full of farmed out high buck gold chainer cars.
Rodders Journal and Traditional Rod and Kulture...a neat little magazine is Hometown Hot Rods and you can't go wrong with buying old magazine lots from the 50's and 60's off of ebay
Buy him an alliance membership to the HAMB, teach him to use the search part of it, you will both love it!!
Actually, I'd suggest Car Craft. It's cheap-$12/year and lots of tech articles. True,it's mostly newer cars, but it's guys doing their own stuff and they often test different configurations and always tell you part numbers and what it costs to do what they did. I can't think of another magazine that does that.Oh, and the Kr*** and Bernie cartoon is kind of fun and the Off the Rack t-shirt girls are sometimes fun to look at. Sometimes not.
How about getting him several, when one of my subscriptions to a glossie one runs out, I do a search for "cheap magazine subscription" and then the ***le. There are companies like fundraisers that buy subscriptions by the boatload, and sell them through school fundraisers, etc. when they don't sell, they have already paid for them up-front so they dump them for anything they can get. I recently re-upped Hot Rod recently for $4.50 a year, and Street Rodder for $14, Prices are always changing depending whatever ***les need to be unloaded, and it did take 8 weeks to start the subscription, as stated, so there is the delay factor. And I would like to add a plug for Hometown Hot Rod, John Nolan and his wife are publishing it out of their garage. This month's Hot Rod has the story of how Hot Rod started, out of Petersen's car trunk, etc, you guys probably know the rest. Why not give HHR a similar chance. http://hometownhotrod.com/
