How about people (that have the time) make drafts for Mike Drew to polish up? Some of you
have lots of history and details in your heads. Just a suggestion.

So, no reason we couldn't include a feature about one of the many
outstanding survivor cars which have come to light in recent years. We have
a couple right here in the PNW club. The feature could focus on the current
owner's search or original owner's chronicle, discussion of how the original
survivor has managed to stay that way, etc..
Add to that Chuck Melton's suggestions, and IT'S ALL GOOD, people! Let's
just get them written and out there. That's why I thought working through
the Chapters to inspire their membership to get the stories out there may
help get something done.
Thanks to all!

And if you are looking for cars which have had extensive modifications this
problem will only get worse as the stock cars gain value-- fewer people
will be interested in spending big bucks on mods when they know the value of
the car will not go up and possibly go down as they do so.

Meanwhile...
Those of us who -have- submitted articles (over a year ago), are still
waiting on the "feature" articles so the rest of our submitted articles can
be published.
Mike certainly has my permission to turn my article into a feature article
if he likes.
I would postulate, there are not as many Pantera restorations as there were
10 years ago. Perhaps that's a driving factor in the absence of feature
articles?

I'm sure more than few of you have been asking that question lately,
and our Profiles editor is very much aware that we've not seen an
example of his handiwork for a while. I asked Mike about this a few
weeks back, and his explanation (paraphrased) was as follows.
Each Profiles magazine is basically wrapped around the feature car of
the month. This creates the cover shot, feature article and
centerfold. To which he can add the various events and other project
articles to complete an edition. He has had a number of prospective
feature articles bail on him over the past months, for various
reasons, leaving him without a core article to publish the magazine.
I've heard all the various complaints about not getting the magazine
which our dues are paying for, but the fact is that we, the members,
need to be submitting these articles for Mike to print. Feature articles,
tech articles, chapter events and drives, etc.
Have we lost the pride in our rides to the point that nobody wants to
share them with us?
So, from that, I'm issuing a challenge to the Chapters. We have 21
recognized POCA Chapters spread around the US. We would nominally be
receiving 4 Profiles magazines, one each quarter. I am challenging
the Chapters to each nominate a proud member who has recently done
something to bring their car back to life, restored, upgraded, etc.
that they and the owner would like to share with the rest of us.
Nothing better than seeing YOUR CAR in glossy print, and getting some
Chapter recognition, especially if the Chapter members lent a hand in the
project. Pull together and help
them write it and take some pics. I'd like to see at least 4 hand up
within the next month, and I'll be glad to help coordinate once we
have volunteers. If you like, I can help write the copy.
This is YOUR club, and YOUR magazine. We're always trying to find new
members, and Profiles is a great marketing tool. Support it, feed it,
but please don't give up on it!
Thanks
