From what I have been told, the monetary pay varies and depends on the article length and complexity. Some of the people I know who have written articles over the years for various types of publications say it's a nice way to earn some extra bucks but by no means is their sole form of income. With the decline in the number of printed magazines, I suspect that the pay hasn't increased and may have actually decreased, not sure. It was a full 4 page feature article Mike., not a couple words and the pic of my car on the cover . That, I've done several times in both of the main car model magazines. So, yea, I do know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry did the text and I did the pics,, and of cores the build. At the time, no compensation was discussed and I do not now or then expect any even though I had been told by many people that I should have been paid for something. Again, I didn't expect it than and don't now that years have passed. I might even try submitting an article again in the future , , , but I would expect compensation for that. ? Not exactly related to the topic at hand, but the article on your Volare Road Runner is one of my favorites. I was a kid in the 70s so performance (or lack of it) didn't mean much, but those flashy decal covered late 70s "muscle cars" worked their marketing magic on me. ?

Yea, those '70s cars were not exactly the flame throwing "muscle cars" of the '60s but it's what we grew up with. [I was 12 in '77] A lot of the older guys like to carp on those cars but they forget, or don't care that they're carping on fond memories of OUR childhood. BTW, I'm gathering parts to do another '77. This one will address the lack of HP. ? Edited January 10, 2021 by Can-Con Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
