I was just re-reading the August issue and noticed the swell of support for the big 70's stuff.  We are alive and well, those insane folks diving into big bumper rides to get speed and handling out of them.  I see the "early 70's Torino" suggestion and raise you a mid 70's Torino.  We have easy big block installs, loads of room for tire, plenty of adaptable suspension pieces, and you almost NEVER see us in print..  


Thanks for your time!

Thanks Jim. I'd like to use your letter in an upcoming issue. Great idea, maybe we can stir some interest here.  

You should email us a photo of your Torino, along with some detailed info. If the photo(s) is good enough, we might run it in our Hometown Hot Rodding section.  

I would like to see a special edition magazine dedicated to Project X. It would be nice to see and read about the history of the 57. I wonder how many readers of this magazine realize the it has been since the early 60s (when you bought the car off a used car lot) sinceyou first started modifing the car. I also wonder how many people remember the 57 in the movie Hollywood Nights.  

i loved the projectx car i loved the article and i still have that issue too but i dont know where it is in the stack .....  

I believe that the B.O.P.community is under represented when it comes to the Pro Touring treatment! Most of the time it is either a restored matching numbers vehicle (that may or may not be raced at the local drag strip)or a "Bling Bling" machine with 22"or bigger wheel/tire combination! I have a 1971 Olds Cutlass that is a combination of "Retro Trans-Am and Street Rod",that needs a few more items to be done before it will be worthy of your publication! I understand that there are not many quality rides being built (in the BOP community)but hopefully that will change in the next few years! Thank you for a great magazine!

I would like to see some more mid 60's Buick Resto-Mod cars, Fords and Chevys are cool but the Buick full size are great cars also! They are not your "cookie Cutter" cars that most people build, I would love to see some Tech on Suspension up grades and some ways of getting more power out of a stock 401 Nailhead        

I'm a pretty big fan of the full size Buick's myself, it would be cool to see them more in the magazine
