I think the best practical information will be on lower cost mods, IE brakes, suspension, etc. We all have Filet Mignon appetites here. Some guys have the same tastes but hamburger budgets. You have to find ways to keep guys with dreams and kids and mortgages in the mix with low cost mods that work. A lot of young guys go "Rice" because that segement of the automotive world is being addressed as far as low cost modifications are concerned. The Orientals are getting us back for the buttkickin we laid on them after Pearl Harbor one Honda and Toyota at a time. Then they are producing low cost fart mufflers and graphics and lowering kits to "fix-up" the cars down the road after Ma and Pa Kettle have traded them in or given it to their favorite grandson. Show guys "How-to's" that are inclusive rather than exclusive, reasonably priced and relatively simple to do. What wheels from other makes/ models that will fit their project. Again, Brake swaps, lowering tips, engine mods. I see that the biggest complaint repeated over and over again is that modifications done are not practical,cost wize, to the budgets of your(Your readers, HOTROD, Super Chevy, etc.) readers.

Oh, and, Welcome Henry!!!
