    You can say that again Jeff! Josh, it was cool meeting you Thursday night when we were pushing the green '40 Merc in about midnight :) Pictures turned out great. Keep us posted on the book.

    I saw it mentioned somewhere maybe Rikster's thread on the Autorama. I think it was some 40's chev but I may be wrong.

    Thank you K13, it will be about 2 months before its ready but it WILL be ready. I hope you can have some patience! Im working real hard on it bro!

    And George Garzas rear window is a 41 Chevy Fleetline.
     
  15. Nice, are they all side shots or will you have other angles of the cars?

    98% are going to be side views, two reasons. They were packed in so tight that I couldnt get a front or 3/4 shot. and most of the guys that love these cars its all about the profile, how the roof flows to the trunk, what the fenders are doing and the stance. Whether its a nose down slammer or *** down speed boat, thats what they like to see, and thats what these cars are all about. This wont be the only book I put out on cars. There will lots more and maybe on just certain cars then there will many more different angles. Hope that it doesnt keep you away from buying a book though.

    Your 100% right. To me the side view tells all and watching how the body
    lines flow is pure ****. It won't keep me from buying it.....You just threw
    more gas to the fire.

    Are they done yet?? LOL!!!

    Happy Trails,

    Mick

    Update: I have started to talk to a Publisher for these photos. It turns out that putting out a book this big is not easy, so im getting help. It might take longer but in the end it will be a better book and cheaper for you guys.
