Anyone interested in a magazine called "Skinned Knuckles"?

I've been a subscriber to SK from way back I actually have every issue published with the exception of issue numbers 1 ans 10. Great, to the point advise with some history to boot. You can't go wrong with this magazine.

Got my 'sample' issue today--Feb 2006; thanks--that does work--email the 'man' !!!!!!!!   ;D

If you are going to list them you need to do so by cal. years or vol numbers--12 at a whack. prices vary from $.50 to $1.75 depending on the years-early cheaper and later more; you should start out at roughly $5.00 for 12 and see what happens if you want to get rid of them--note freight should be calculated by Media mail for how much they weigh. There are some on now at $6. each for one issue[excluding ft]--who ever that is absolutely nuts !!!! they will not sell. unless someone is wanting only one issue to fill in a COMPLETE set.

I've been a subscriber for many years and have hundreds of issues also.? How much do they fetch on eBay? Might be time to thin the herd.

I have almost every issue [except Vol 1, issue 1--anyone have this one?-Aug 1976]; I have been buying all mine on eBay--never had a subscription but have almost every issue from 1976 to July 2005.
These are real good for old car folks. Been reading them almost everynight for 6 months.
You really need them especially if you have an odd car pre-1932: mold your own rubber parts ,i.e.: get correct lens brand & number for a 1923 Chandler headlight, repair a Vacuum fuel pump , fix a K-Seely fluid fuel gage,do babbit scraping, etc,etc. Where else can you get all this info.
Keep checking eBay for LARGE lots--you will get a better price.

Skinned Knuckles has been around since the 1970s and has always been my favorite magazine for restoration tips and procedures. In fact when I got into to other activities in the 1980s Skinned Knuckles was the only car magazine that I kept up a subscription too. They have just changed management as Bill Cannon is now only contributing articles as opposed to running the whole show. I hope the focus and quality remain, so far it has.

It is good to see that they are now marketing themselves a bit more with a new web site.
