Any more news? I’m looking for good engine bay photos now and would love to already have this reference.

Here's what I can tell you about it: I simply do not have the time to publish/layout/proofread the C book. I bought a business two years ago, I have an active family and I coach high school football, all on top of getting a Net Worth column to Gordon when it is not football season. That said, Peggy Goldberg (Neil's wife) is in the process of getting it done. She comes out to my shop when she can to work on it (the book is all on my iMac on very expensive publishing software and it does not make any sense for the Goldberg's to spend that kind of money to buy it when I already have it). She is planning on coming out next week to work on it some more, but it is going to be a slow process. I will not even guess as to when it will be out and can only say that it is being worked on.

I wish I had firm timetables for everyone, but I don't because there isn't one. I think it is great that there is so much interest but unfortunately this is the reality of it.

Glad this is being done. It is important that we document how these cars were when original.

Tim Goodrich has given me all the notes and pictures he took over his 40 years of restoring cars. I hope to consolidate these into book eventually. Will likely be several years down the road but I will do it.

Yeh, I'd love that. With my name, maybe I need to write it myself, but it would be a LONG, LONG wait.
