John N. Packard Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Got a flyer in the mail for a publication called Auto Restorer. Anyone out there have any information on it? The editor is Ted Kade and the address is Boulder, CO. It is described as a newsletter. Thanks!<P>jnp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Yes it is very good.Kind of expensive, but information is good and no advertising just good reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randy Berger Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I used to subscribe to it. Lot of nuts-and-bolts info. Not page after page of ads. Carb rebuild articles, plating problems, etc.<BR>I liked it, but supporting two hobbies, cars and old toy trains, have to watch where I put my $$.

Bill Stoneberg Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I read it every month and always learn something. Its better then 90 % of the rest of the magazines I read.<BR>I case any of you haven't tried, they will bargin with you if you call to renew. I saved $15.00 over what they asked in the mail.

Paul S Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 I guess I am different. I really did not care for it and canceled my subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 I also found it to be a waste of time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Stoneberg Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Money,<BR>I renewed for 2 years for 33 dollars.<BR>Information, mainly technical and good detail. Right now they are showing you how to rebuild an AC compressor. They also have an ongoig series on rebuilding a Dodge Charger.<BR>They have had series on rebuilding a flathead 6, how to rebuild a tranny, and how to use the new series of basecoats / clearcoats. They also hae a "My Car" feature that shows a different and unique car (Lotus, Chrysler, Porsche 356B last few months)and its alue.<BR>Like I said, I can gleam more inofrmation out of one issue then I can out of a couple of different magazines I read.<BR>Also, NO advertising. Thats a big plus.<P>John, Try it I am sure they will give you your money back if you dont like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Davis (MODEL A HAL) Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 I let my subscription lapse. It is a pretty good magazine, but the technical articles were most always about things that didn't apply to my particular situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kinker Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 I had a subscription back when it was a full color magazine. I enjoyed it, and picked up some good info from it. When the mag went to a black & white, newsletter format, I felt that I was not getting my moneys worth, & let my subscription expire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I let my subsription expire a few years after the b/w format was adopted as well. I just didn't have time to read it at the time, and I'm likely to re-up soon. It was a good, focused read. <P>p.s. I assume we're talking about <I>Classic Auto Restorer</I> magazine.

Guest Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 It's been a while so I am depending on memory. The articles dealt with subjects that I had little interest in, much of the technical info was incorrect, and the cars featured were usually not particularly interesting to me. It is not Classic Auto Restorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
