I have searched the board for any and all information regarding project/Camaro X with not much success. Wondering if Tyler and Mark are thinking of putting together a book of the build, along the same lines as Tony's Pro-Touring book. I would be willing to spend $100 on a book detailing the build. Just wondering if there is a market for it and if it is worth their time. It seems to me a book that outlines every detail of the build, pitfalls and tricks, would be very valuable. A cd rom could be included with pictures in the jacket. I'm sure there is enough market for a book that specific.

Let's take a straw poll. I don't know how to set up the poll but maybe the parties of interest can decide what information would be valuable in making a decision like this.

i book wouldn't be bad, but not for $100, especially w/ all the free info on the internet. maybe $20

Reason I suggested to even go that high was three-fold.

One, it takes a lot of money to publish a book, especially one that is targeted to a small market.

Two, the information in such a book would save well more than the cost of it.

Three, the information on boards like this is sometimes more opinions than actual tech; I have seen very diferent answers to the same question. Whereas a detailed build, by an engineer, would give an accurate representation of what was involved.

I think $20 is way too cheap to make a project of this scope financially doable.
