Anyone get their April PHR yet?
 

I got mine yesterday, and man, did Hunkins and Rupp put McBride to work! That rear suspension article is like half the magazine. It's good stuff, all your hard work looks great, John.

Mutert's feature is in there (great photography), as well as a huge article about Bob Johnson's Cuda, and Scott Hall got his 69 in hometown hotrodding. :thumbsup:

Congrats, guys. :captain:

issue
 

No, I have mine delivered to the office and the postman on comes when he feels like it.

I barely received February's issue. On Monday. Its about a supercharger mustang coupe pretty cool. Cant wait to get my others.

That's cool now I will have to go find it. Now I can finally say i got my car in a mag. someway or another. :D

Scott

I got mine yesterday and once again it has great articles and features in it! That cuda rocks!

Just got mine.
Whew - it's a reference book :)

Yea, we are working the poor guy to death.. I used John for that story and when Hunkins saw it he was like :wow: "I want to use him in a lot of stories".. Look for John's work in upcoming issues (if we don't burn him out.. we are still trying to find the right "goove" (work load).

I think it's a fun issue.. did you notice the Burgie Beer can story? lol

Hey Scott, you car DESERVED to be in there.. hell, it's feature quality for sure but this will have to do for now.

We had already gone to print when I got your engine pic.. sorry. It certainly would have brightened up the page. :)

IS the cover the same for subs and on the shelf copys???

Hey thanks Scott and Steven. It really is fun and I'll do as much as I can handle. doing extra work at night is definately a balancing act. I look forward to working with the Dynamic PHR Duo in the future.

As I mentioned to Steven, I live in GA and I still haven't seen the March issue on the stands yet. I did however get my subscription issue about 2 weeks ago.

John

Thanks Steve for everything. Maybe someday if you are in the Texas area we can do a photo shoot. :unibrow:

Scott

Goove????????? groove maybe????? they are much easier to find.... :thumbsup:

And NO I have not got my copy yet.......Tennessee Hillbilly Postal Service....

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm very much looking forward to it. :D

I re-subscribed like 2 months ago, but I guess it takes a long time get it going.

Does it usually go out to subsribers before it hits the news stand?

mark if its anything like my sub....you'll get it about a month after it hits the news stands!

Haven't got my copy yet.

But could PHR give John some rest he needs his strength to do some work for the company I work for and his preliminary stuff is so good that we WILL be using more of him.

Bob

P.S. I work for Bushwacker and was the person who gave my boss your info.

Yes, but the subs have the ugly white box for the addy lable. Not sure if Alcinos car is on the cover of the sub issue.

Newstand issues have a glossy UV coating on the cover as well.

Yes, in theory.. lol

The magazine is not set to hit newsstands until 2/22

Thanks. I was going to run up to QT to see if it was there, but I'll wait.

Got mine yesterday! i about Sh*t my pants when i saw that article on rear suspensions... it was awesome.

Its definately going into my "Hot-Rod Bible" book.

The only thing i wish i could have seen more of is in depth "how-to" of that cuda that was on the cover (it was a cuda right?) that thing was so flipping amazing, i wanted to see how they did it, and then promptly copy it for myself! LOL

I posted this in the Bob Johnson Cuda Gallery

Everyday i go out to the mailbox like a little kid hoping the april issue of PHR will be in there and when it's not i am truly sad. Something must be wrong with me.

There is a whole story on how they built it.. did you see that or are just wishing it was longer??

Sorta like a "build a book" deal...

I read it, i was really impressed... but i guess for me i like to see more "how-tos".. kinda like your "build a book" deal. Longer... not so much longer as in depth how to... i got the piece of milling the firewall, that was really cool to see. I'm not that great of a learner from reading stuff, i learn better by pictures and thorough examples.

I really liked the suspension piece, except the part where he says that "urethane bushings go along way towards rectifying this trait," refering to snap oversteer in converging like 4-links. Just a goof I am sure, but it's glaring! :) Then again, I sure have made my fair share of goofs!

Shiny side Up!

It's a symbiotic relationship.. lol..

What's nice is that the cars here go from the low buck to the big buck so there is something for everyone.

Steve

A got mine 2 days ago and just about had a heart attack when I saw it on the kitchen counter. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

Steve musta been kickin' down some doors over there with those big ole sh*t-kickin' boots of his (don't deny it Steve, big ole size 12 Timberlands from what I hear). He heard our cries about late deliveries last month and he marched down to shipping and flipped the script on those hacks.

Nice job Rupp. That's how ya git er done! :thumbsup:

Am I the only one in America that has not got this month's issue? Damn, Well I guess I will just reread last month's addition, it was not a bad issue anyway....lol

Don't feel bad Bill.. even we are still waiting.. lol

I have zero control over shipping but thanks for at least THINKING I do.. I am still the FNG around there...

Hope ya all like the issue.. especially the suspension story.. that thing was one long muther to write..

Damn, that was a good article on the suspensions, but I couldn't find my favorite, the coat hanger, duct tape and muffler clamp suspension. That was one used often on the way home from the race track years ago.

Great issue and great in-depth feature with the Cuda! That car deserves an entire issue or two! And a huge hats off to Johnny and crew for singing the praises of Chris Ito and his involvement in the project! It was really cool to see his picture and backstory in there along with a handful of the awesome designs he did to help make Bob's car what it is.
Good job, guys! This issue will stay on top of the stack for a long time!

My hat is off to everyone involved with the Cuda. Chris is an unsung hero. No one could have topped the work he did and his contribution to this project. He is a pleasure to work with and tries his heart out to please the builder and car owner. Thankfully none of us had egos that interfered with our ultimate goals. The few differences of opinion were worked out with everyone agreeing with the outcome. I don't think we were disappointed with the way anything came out but the tail lights..and they are being corrected..they weren't made like Chris designed them anyway. The numerous metal mods just flow so well no one realizes how much was done to this car until you park a stock one next to it. I hope this car gets Itoh and Alan the recognition they so justly deserve. It's very rewarding to see your fellow enthusiasts appreciate your efforts..It means a lot to all of us.. :bow:

Alan did a great job :hail:

Thanks Bob! It's rewarding for us to have you drag that thing all over the country for us all to drool over! I was at SEMA standing there everyday with my mouth open and will do the same everywhere else I see it. It's crystal clear that You, Alan, and Chris put your heads together for many sleepless nights to build the ultimate total package!

Howell...If it makes you feel any better, I haven't gotten my issue yet either.

What the hell, just another Ga. redneck's car anyway! :lol:

Bill, I got mine PHR and HR showed up today. I be thinking about ya while I read them cover to cover on the flight to China tomorrow.
