Calling all Classic/Old School/Vintage...

[speedminded]

Looking for cars to shoot for a new online magazine focused primarily on Japanese cars from the "sportscar era" but also euros and even a few domestics...street, show, or track.

Datsun, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, BMW, MG, Triumph, etc...just about anything from the 60's-70's. Step by step builds, tech articles, etc. are also in the works if anyone has a project they'd like to share.

Compensation is a feature article, free publicity, and high quality photos

lolol, grassrootsmotorsports.com is classicmotorsports.net which is Classic Motorsports Magazine....and that's not exactly gonna go over too well considering that's my only "competition" hahahha

If they use some of the ideas i have planned i might as well give up now. Once i get a few features under my belt then I'll look into jumping the wall into someone elses territory...

i'm still debating on the cut-off...i'm probably going to mix it up and create my own style with an emphasis on Japanese cars since it's not really been done yet. Jtuned features a few every once in a while but normally it's just specific make and model magazines that do the older cars.

How 'bout disco-era (big-bumper) domestics?

May do a domestic of the month or something crazy like that but muscle car magazines are a dime a dozen w/ the news stands full of them...I'm trying to avoid the mainstream flow and branch out with my own thing.

[mocha latte cupcake]

so your only doing something like the old old school ones? what about a 80's yeah cut off? its alot easier to come across a few good old (80's) imports and the 70s ones. just an idea.

i'm thinking seriously of going through the 80's too...it just opens up a whole new world of cars, majority of them i don't really want to mess with

The later the year the less cleaner cars there are compared to beat up ones. That make any sense? Many 80's cars are still driven daily and alot of them aren't that well taken care of. I want this site to be known for well done quality cars that are exceptionally clean, the later the model accepted the more people there will be wanting to be featured that don't meet that criteria.

1984 Honda Civic HB? New wheels are almost here.. 13x8's flares.. etc. Details if your still intrested

[speedminded]

Ok, i'm trying to decide what to do...I'm thinking a car from the 60's, 70's, and 80's each month would work out pretty well. The only issue i forsee is '88-91 CRX's, Preludes, FC's, etc...they run into the 90's yet are still basically the same car.

Stormhammer, i'm not trying to leave out conquests/starions i promise!

The Mustang and Bel Air look great, just don't know if i want to get that deep into domestics but it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and do them so they're there for backup incase anything were to happen, fall behind schedule, etc. You would still get to have the high quality photos :-)

Armoral the trim every day for two or three days straight and she'd look pretty good The paint overspray on the hatch and minor stuff can be photoshopped out easily

How about a 1970 Cuda or a 2002 BMW?

(The model 2002, not the year)

[speedminded]

Anyone up for a Sunday shoot? 60's or 70's Japanese vehicle preferably but don't know if that will happen with less than a weeks notice. Something older and extremely clean...I want to get a few cars up before the Mitty race

You have a pic of this 2002?

Frantically working on mine. 84 civic with obd-1 swap, 0+ wheels. Just gotta wait on the damn wheels to show up.

I have some 1971 Honda N600's in "needing restoration" condition, haha.

ha! Roller bearings on the crankshaft FTW!! 1,100lbs, the original engine is about 40hp and capable of 9,000rpms...just imagine it with a 954RR engine or something

[St0lenR]

Mine is still under the knife but I havent forgotten our conversation

I actually considered doing a CBR 1000 RR swap one day, but other projects have taken precedence. There is a guy in North GA doing a Goldwing RWD swap. The N has 36 hp stock, and my Beat has 64 hp, combined my two cars have 100 hp!

That picture is of the Hondamatic N600 - I only know of two in existence.

The crank roller bearings are actually the downfall of these little cars right now.

My dad looked at getting one of the first ones available before they were shipped over, he ordered the manual and saw it had roller bearings ...it's powered by a swiss watch

I'm with Hugo. I landed a position, starting Thursday, that will net me the income to get my Civic on the road and set for a shoot within a month or so. Later, QD.
