I'm so surprised to have just now read Jeff Norwell's 'Dirty Bird' article in HOT ROD magazine! The magazine arrived the day before VACA and I'm just now getting caught up. Even though it is quite unusual to see an article about an unfinished car in HOT ROD, I am so pleased to see a build article and pictures from OUR Jeff Norwell...congratulations!! Not only being an accomplished illustrator but also published...does this mean we will be calling him DR. JEFF. Congratulations Jeff, it is always great to have your work recognized!
Thanks Gary!
I was quite surprised as well!. and thanks for the very kind words!
Jeff
Would someone please post what issue has Jeff's 57 Ford in it.
Or maybe you can post a picture of the cover of the magazine. I want to look for that issue.
Thanks Jay
Me too!!! :006:

Wow, all those e-bay folks don't know they can get 12 issues in their mailboxes for $19?
I HATE reading magazines on-line. To me...they belong in my hand.. :001:
Amen, brother!
Shame the HotRodMag chev geeks don't know 428's never came with 2bl carbs or 427's with shortie iron headers. We must educate the dullard chev masses! LOL!

Never was a Hot Rod mag fan. For the very reason that they are so biased to the bow-tie.
I used to take Street Rodder...miss that mag still to this day.
Me too on Street Rodder. I only get HotRod because it and the three Hemmings mags are the only ones left to buy.
Ron.
I have to agree... I was a die hard R&C reader.... and
The Rodders Journal too.
Unfortunately R&C and Streetrodder were killed a slow death in part due to the internet and such. They readership died off because you could get instant gratification online.All magswere all bought by big corps. and then swallowed by bigger corps.... the bottom line was sales... and lack of it.
the giant Corps. only see a profit line.
The insane rising cost of paper, manufacturing,shipping all were factors in there slow death.
I believe the 10 Group(motor trend group) had 22 mags and now has 3?
Motor Trend is owned my Discovery and Discovery is owned by a bigger fish.
It's a very sad state.

I cannot and will not read a magazine on the computer. It is not natural. And I don't care how good the chair is, my computer will never have a comfortable enough seat to make me want to sit there and read on-line. And I hate sitting on the recliner with a computer. My eyes do not like screen glare. I WANT magazine. If they want my money, then they need to give me what I want...or I keep the money.
I take US$ at par and have lots of magazines I can send.
Some have staples in the belly buttons.

Another guy here that prefers reading an actual print magazine. At one time, I used to subscribe to quite a few magazines, Mustang Monthly, Super Ford, and Musclecar Review, back when they were Dobbs Publications, SS&DI, PHR,Car Craft, among others, as well as others that I would buy at a magazine store, drug store, Supermarket, combined with National Dragsters weekly NHRA newspaper, about 10 per month. But as corporate takeovers , "streamlining", and the fact that most of the Ford and Mustang magazines decided to ignore virtually everything that was not a 5.0 Mustang or newer, I let the subscriptions expire, and eventually most of the magazines did eventually expire as well. The local store car magazine selection has dwindled down to only a few , I now buy less magazines in a year than I used to get each month. I still glimpse they the few magazines that remain, but since I have no interest in Chevy LS engines, late model cars, 4x4 trucks, or "Rat Rods", it is pretty rare for a magazine to follow me home. The only things I subscribe to now are National Dragster, that comes with my NHRA membership, but is now down to a monthly paper, and the Hagerty insurance magazine. I do enjoy Collectible Automobile, they do very in depth stories, with lots of color, so I may subscribe, as I have not been able to find a reliable store source.

Terry, whats the pipe coming from the side of the box? Great looking truck also!
I used to subscribe to a number of magazines. I still have some that I hang on to and scan through from time to time. I could spend hours just on one magazine and savor it for days.
I stopped subscribing to them when the advertisements became more pages than the actual subject matter.
It also became a problem getting rid of them. I had hundreds of them, I was able to donate them to our local library so they could distribute them through their used magazine department, I also took some to MD Anderson Cancer center and left them in the waiting rooms to give them extra life.
I too love feeling the pages of a good book or a car magazine, much better than reading on a computer screen.
That is a farmer built grain chute. I also has one in the tailgate. This way the farmer did not have to shovel product all the way to the back of the box. The elevator had a grated floor and it would fall into the hopper below. Some of the older elevators had a tipping floor to aid in the gravity process. The elevator would have server all bins for different grains and it could be selected using the "Bindicator".
