Ahh.. The good old days.
Buy hot rod mag and get inspired.
Take the ragged out Camaro and put Skyjackers on the back.
Run 60 series on Crager SS rims or Centerlines If you had the money.
And pizza cutters on the front.
A torker intake with a carter AFB or an Edelbrock.
And cheap headers with cherry bombs.
Buy an accell cap with a Mallory rotor just to have two different stickers to put on the back window.
A Kraco stereo with 6x9s in the back.
A mullet, a RATT tape or Motly Crue
Hack a big hole in the hood and glass on a ridicoulous Harwood scoop the size of a coffin.
If anyone wants to race tell them you cant because you are breaking in a new cam.
This is how we built the slowest most mismatched cars back in the day.
And it was awesome.
The early 80s were a blast
The 60's and 70's weren't too bad either

I have several magazine subscriptions. I peruse through them every once and awhile, they mostly pile up beside my chair. I bought a lot of stuff from those magazines back in the day.

On the maps, my 89 and 94 have pockets on the seat back and they are stuffed full of paper maps.

I gotta remember to subscribe even though budgetarily I just go by the magazine because I try and make it like I once a year thing. Yeah I'm broke son of a gun.
It’s a lot cheaper to subscribe versus buying them individually at Barnes and noble or wherever else they’re available. I can’t recall seeing HMM anywhere besides Barnes and noble though

Oh we know that for sure.
Us 80s kids bought up every 60s to early 70s car we could find.
We would ride our bikes up and down the alleyways to find the cars that had been parked in the backyard because of the gas crunch.
And we were happy as hell to put them back on the road.
We had and still have a love of those cars.
Most of the time we found some gigantic dead whale that we had no interest in.
But sometimes it was a gem.
The most awfull story involves my good freind.
When his Dad came back from Viet-Nam he bought a 69 Dodge Dart GT convertable.
340 4 speed yellow with the GT stripe.
And that is a rare thing
By the 80s this car was sitting in the driveway falling apart.
All my freind had to do in order to get this car was keep his grades up.
"B or Better"
He didnt.
So Dad sold the car to his brother in law.
And he tubbed it, put a Ford 9 under and cut the fenders.
Cobbled a k member under for a 440,
Ripped the interior out and hed it reupholstered in purple tuck and roll.
De badged the car.
Painted it black with really really really bad green and purple flames.
And a hood scoop.
He still has the car.
We see it a couple of times a year.
It is truly awefull.
And my freind just cringes every time he sees it.
Stay in school kids.
