I have a some serious interest from a publication to feature my car. I would like to really turn the wick up on the quality and performance before I share my vision with the world any further.

I need to fund a major rebuild over the winter. I need to buy a bunch of stuff. I was thinking of the Mueller stuff, the "H" gear mod, sway bars, turbo tie rods, new struts, could use a set of beefed axles, a J West shift thing, and some of the Morphen carpet and stuff. I have basically a working mule car. I have over 2000 miles since I trailered the car to the WCC. I don't think I babied the car either. I handed Rob Ways the keys for the AX, he asked what he could rev the motor to, I told him the tac doesn't work Just listen to the motor it will let you know when to back off! The problem I had with the motor I think was my fault.

Here's my thought. If I were to make up some parts would anyone be interested in purchasing parts to do a conversion or have me build a car for them? I was thinking of starting a conversion Business like Renegade. I'm not sure I want to get into this as a full on Business just fund and develop my own car. Anyone interested in purchasing my car as a finished build with the stipulation I get to keep the car and show for a year or somthing? (kidding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) )

Any of you guy's doing a ma & pa business really making any money doing it?

Anyone have any experience raising money for a magazine/ show car?

Anyone ever have a magazine car? Anyone ever been paid to feature their car?

Anyone with any idea's? If you don't want to post here PM me.

Thanks,

I had a car in 79 and 80 that was featured in 2 magazines and was on a school type notebook cover. They paid me $50.00 for the rights to use the picture. That was all I ever got out of it. The magazines took pictures at a show and I didnt even know. Back then I guess it didnt matter. I also had a few van conversions I built and showed featured in magazines and got nothing for that either except my ideas used in other vans. I have to agree with Brad, its not a business to feed the family.
