Jim & Steve,
It's been on Ebay also.
I haven't seen it in person but it looks to be a binder of some guy's notes
and photos on an engine build that he did. Also it looks like he runs a
Mustang business out of his garage. And he may or may not know what he is
talking about.
My guess is it would be like if I wrote down and photographed everything I
do for the coming restoration of my Tiger then printed it out and tried to
make money selling it as a "Tiger restoration book". I know a thing or two
about "this" and "that" when it comes to cars but not enough to write a
worthwhile book.
For 50 bucks I would wait until it comes out in hardcover...or find 50
friends with a dollar each.
Paul
