STANG Uncut - The Making of STANG Magazine (BOOK 1)

THE MAKING OF

M A G A Z I N E

THE R AW AND UNCUT S TORY OF DE TERMINATION

M A G A Z I N E

Mustang enthusiasts have asked for a magazine that has no ads, no sales pitches, and no bogus “fillers” to eat up space. They have asked for a magazine that is free, easy to access, and nothing but focused on Mustang pictures and content. They have asked for a magazine produced and written by Mustang owners. They have asked for a magazine that highlights the daily drivers and the average Mustang that is driven and is not a trailer queen. They have asked for the chance to one day have their ride, their group, their club, or their cause to be recognized in print or online. It is our absolute pleasure to meet these standards and to give you STANG Magazine. We hope that both our message and our image will be seen in every Mustang community out there. Thank you Mustang fans and enjoy your ride! - Daniel Ramey, Editor-In-Chief

STANG Magazine literally started because I was tired of seeing printed magazines with so many damn advertisements in them. Call me simple, but I just wanted to flip through pages and see the Mustangs. I really didn’t want to read the articles or learn anything about autos in my younger years. I just wanted to do what all kids do, see the cool cars. Then as I got older and actually owned a Mustang of my own, I ran into that brick wall of “your car is never good enough and will never make it into a magazine.” Well, that thought didn’t sit well with me at all. If you know anything about me, I am one of those people that when someone tells me I can’t do something, I find a way to do it, do it better than anyone else, and do it MY way. So I

our goal from the start was to simply share stories, and honestly I don’t think we have even scratched the surface. People know about us, but there are so many Mustang owners and fans out there that do not know about us. On average, if we just highlight only 100 Mustangs a month, we are scheduled to be around doing what we do for the rest our lives and then

“STANG MAGAZINE IS A BRILLIANT WAY TO INCORPORATE CREATIVITY AND PASSION WITH ALL MUSTANG OWNERS WHO SHARE THE SAME INTERESTS AND VISION. SUCH A GREAT FAMILY TO BE INCLUDED IN! THANK YOU STANG MAGAZINE!”
