Guest imported_Speedster Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Anyone here subscribe to 'Skinned Knuckles' magazine? I'm letting my subscribtions expire on some of the other Rags, so thought I'd give that one a try, but I've never even seen an issue? BTW, there's an interesting artical about the '56 Packard Predictor, in the May '06 issue of 'Classic Car' magazine. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I found out it was originally called the 'Projector'.

Guest imported_PackardV8 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Skinned Knucckles is a good publication. I have not subscribed to it in over 10 years. SK seems to recycle articles about every 3 to 4 years so if u never had a subscription it will be something new and different for u. SK is a VERY low budget, bare bones publication. Living up to its name it is mostly tech talk type articles. Certainly i can recommend the publication. It's different in a good kind of way.

Guest JT Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Skinned Knuckles would be well worth giving a try if you like technical and how to articles. One thing I like is that the inside of the mag is printed on non glossy paper, it more fits the writing style. It's a small publication with more info and less advertising than most magazines out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Albert Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Maybe we should have a new forum here called "Skinned Knuckles" or "Around the Garage" as i think most of us have had it happen at least once with bloody knuckles or burnt hands! I think there is enought tech knowlege here in this forum to write a good size book of stuff that is not in our Packard manuals, ie what fits what, the TL links modified, wireing, getting it apart etc.. the list goes on and on...

Guest imported_Speedster Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Yes, I think you should start a website, with all that good Info. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> That way I won't have to remember it all, we can just link to it. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbking Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I am a charter subscriber, 31 plus years. However, when my current subscription runs out, I will allow it to gracefully expire. The founder/editor has retired and recently sold the magazine. The new owner/editor has a different approach to car restoration; plus it has been announced that a long-time columnist's column would no longer be included.Jon.

Guest imported_Speedster Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I found some back issues of S-K magazine on eBay, so I bought 8 Years worth (96 issues). That should keep me busy for a while. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> LOL <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JT Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Jon, I'm only about a five year subscriber and I agree that the columnist you refer to, Matt Joseph, was a very important part of SK and a great writer. His articles were superb and I will really miss him (I think he said he will still occasionally contribute a piece).Being such a young subscriber I will continue my subscription with the hope of things to come. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_Speedster Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I got the magazines and even tho they are very thin, I found that they are very interesting with good information. Since most magazine are 75% advertising, which this one doesn't have, I don't mind. But they do have some vintage ad reproductions, which are interesting also.

Packard Don Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If you're going to throw them out, I would be happy to pay shipping just to see what they are and to read them. I've not heard of the magazine before but it sounds interesting and am also in the Bay Area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packard lover Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Why not donate them to the AACA Library. If it doesn't need them, the Library can sell them and use the proceeds for other acquisitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coachmarcia Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Don, let me know where you are. I'd rather meet than go to the trouble to package them.

ply33 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 My collection starts in 1982 with a couple issues missing. And I am also in the south SF Bay Area. If Packard Don does not need or want all of them, I could be very interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
