What can any magazine say about a 5.0 that has not been done 1000 times before. I stopped getting anything related to one make of car. I went back to Hot Rod, Motor Trend and Such to get something different and maybe something new. Better stuff on the web then you can get in a magazine.

it was an unfortunate merger that was forced by the wonderful primedia. every magazine they run they destroy. I can tell you that neither of the editors where happy with the decision to merge but they are trying to make the most of it. I do miss the original lay out, but i like most fords so it doesnt bother me too much.

I would hate to see the magazine fail since one of the editors is a friend, but maybe if primedia saw the sales drop drastically they would see that they made a mistake and possibly move back in the original direction.

I didnt know Modified is now under primedia?

As far as content, whats wrong with a 57 ranchero??? I'd rather see some different fords once in a while instead of the sameeee old BS mods everyone does.

I agree, I think that combining the two was probably a mistake, Modified always had great quality photos but now it's like half the size and poor photos on crappy paper even. I didn't renew.

primedia can be thanked for that, when they bought modified it started its downward trend. the mag is run buy a bunch of money hungry guys in suits in stead of the editors that know the community.
