What about using stuff of here?? I'm guessing the mag is not only going to be available to ACVWSA users?

So take a how to or engine build thread and use it. Obviously asking the original author and crediting them ofcourse.

The first issue will have to be a bumper issue so to speak. So the more suitable content the easier to maintain and grow readership.

Cheers.

Yes, content will be used with the author's permission.

No, I don't think the first issue will be a bumper issue. Because I'm effectively doing this alone.
Beyond having work and a restoration to do, I also have a life. So the mag will be the best I can make it.
While balancing all the factors of my life.

I plan to have the first issue out be the end of June.
It will be completely electronic and free to those who take the time to download it from where ever I can put it.

The one thing I plan for this magazine, that is different to all others, is what I refer to as the MacGuyver section.
It will depict the things the manuals don't tell you about. The things we all struggle with and invariable find solutions to,
that are "'n Boer maak 'n plan" solutions to irritating problems.

And thanks to HR's suggestion, there will also be a toy section.

Nope, I don't want this to be an ACVW only mag. I'd like it to become a general "Auto-restorers mag". But seeing as I've
never even attempted restoring anything other than Christn, this will have a ACVW flavor, for the time being.

As for the magazine name, and first issue articles. I will decide on that on 1 June.
