Believe it or not but i was subscriber at the 80s!!! I quit around 90s when car craft took "hi tech" role and PHR was more like "driveaway bolt low buck" mag .
But nowdays PHR is absolutely best magazine for EFi/pro touring / suspension junkies. Keep on the good work!!! And plese try to send the mags on time
The reason why they have a great magazine is simple.
They love cars and they work their asses off.
After following Johnny Hunkins
around for a day at a track event followed by a 6 hour photo shoot.
I can tell you that I have ran across very few people in my life that work so hard to get things right.

Yes, ditto to all that. Steve, thanks for the killer feature in Hometown and for helping me give credit where it is due. Now my builders, Chris and Rick, are pumped on PHR and even more pumped on my ride (a much needed injection of enthusiasm at the final stages of a long build).
I've got kind of the same gripe as Jason. My name and copyright was dropped from Todd Miller's rendering and got no mention in the write-up at all. I thought you guys were better than that. I'd expect it from Hot Rod but not PHR, they've always been awesome about giving photo or art credit.
Other than that, the magazine's looking really good and the new format is nice.

Dude, how much free advertising do you expect to get from them? I have to pay thousands of dollars a month to to get a mention in Primedia books. The only time my logo shows up is when I pay to have it there.
Face it, with out all the press Hunkins gave you for free over the past 2.5 years you wouldn't be where you are today. Be grateful for what they've given you in the past, not bitch about what you aren't getting now.
It's not like I'm asking for my phone number and a bunch of other crap to be posted. Simply a photo credit. I don't care about free advertising or anything, I've got plenty of work. Jason had his logo removed but at least was mentioned, so I thought I'd say something.
I'm not exactly advertising in the mag either, I'm contributing artwork to it, which happens to drum up business (as it would with any artist.) I've never thrown a giant logo on my artwork, not even on spec work. I've always kept it Name, Web address, and Copyright, and it has always been pretty low-key. Sorry you have to pay so much for advertising, but don't be mad at me for benefitting from my contributions to them.
I'm not all broken up over it or anything, I was just a bit irked. I definitely appreciate what Johnny and PHR has done for me and I really didn't mean for it to sound ungrateful. Johnny and Steve are great folks and I know they're not out to "get" anyone. They're doing a lot for our branch of the car hobby and I dig that.

I only ask to keep the logo in the rendering when I "donate" work. Other than that, I just try to sign it in a region that can't be photshopped out easily. I don't want to push it, so I try not to make the rendering about me or my business, it's about the customer's car. I expect the same recognition a shop gets when they build a car that ends up in the mag, no more, no less. If my name gets mentioned, (and actually spelled correctly) great. If it doesn't, no biggie, they don't owe me anything.
Kris and Jason, your styles are so instantly recogizable that you (almost) don't need to sign it. That's a very good thing for you.
Good input Ben. I'm glad my work is recognizable. You're right though, when I saw Jason's drawings, even without the logo I could tell it was his work.
