The yuppies have taken over Hot Rod, Car Craft, Street Rodder, Popular Hot Rodding, Chevy High Performance, etc...

The only mag I've found that still caters to the junkyard scrounger/ fabricator/ do-it-my-way crowd is Rod and Custom. They still have some high-buck articles, but the majority of the cars and tech stuff is still aimed at real hot rodders.

The good news is the trend toward "hard core" hot rods (rat rods) is pushing more people to do their cars "old school", which means scrounging and fabrication.

I have NO magazine subsciptions, and I buy them from the stand on a need-to-have basis. I scan the magazine for stuff that I like, and I buy it.
