Hey guys I don't know how many of you have seen our sister Online magazine site.

Big Ryan and I have been working really hard since January getting ready for site launch. You can check out our show coverage but what I'm wondering is what else would guys like to see in an online mag?

What things do you like/dislike about printed magazines?

The base site will launch March 20th, but we are going to continue to build on it with ideas and suggestions from you guys as we have done with the Your Scene Network Sites!

Any input ap

comparisons are always good (engines, parts, suppliers etc.)
how to sections (drop blocks, multi issue paint how to)
a sections of 10 minute projects (small improvements you can make like reded tails, painted dash, poliching wheels etc.)
lots of mini truck features
show coverage
a feature on a car club maybe

Hmmmm here is a tuff one for ya Baha....How bout an interactive outlook style show calendar with the option to send the show to our outlook? Basically you see a calendar, click a date, see the show, have the itinerary emailed to our email address to be added to our outlook.

There is one main thing that I dislike about magazine features, they almost never show a bagged vehicle lifted. Yeah the truck looks sweet layed out but I am curious as to how much lift it has, what does it look like up and down. Some trucks look really funny lifted but great lowered. With some more in-detail pics like some shots under the truck to see how some of it was done would be cool so some of us don't make the same mistakes. My first mazda was a bag over axle and when I first lifted it, the front was like 3-4 inches higher then the back. I was so pissed (and kinda drunk) that I took the sawzall and cut the frame off behind the cab. DUMB ASS!!! The next morning (sober) I realized what I had done and had to back half it at that point. If I would have seen how it was done on another truck I would have done it differently. Sorry, long story short, More in-detail pics and not all of them layed out.

i really like to see what most magazines done show you, motor and in box shots! alot of those cover trucks from minitruckin i see for sale, and they have engine shots and box shots and they look like shit! everythings just covered up to look good on the outside. also like to see more how to's. and links to truck club sites, garage sites, parts sites ect.

Lots and lots of show coverage! Especially by those like us who are the make up of the minitruck scene. We can all submit pix from shows we attend. Whether they be small local shows or shows known nationwide

Very good ideas!

What kind of angles do you like to see trucks at? I will provide a few examples. As I am starting to get really into photography I am always looking for new ways to improve my style, based upon the readers veiws.

Sorry for big pics.
