Building the Mule Book

[TonyHuntimer]

There are so many one-off parts, systems and ideas on that car that are now production, mail order ready parts. If for no other reason (and there are many reasons) people should buy that book just to see how much easier it is to build a pro-touring car now.
Just as important, the Mule received an unprecedented amount of consecutive monthly editorial coverage in PHR. Something like 20 or 21 consecutive build up articles. I'm sure Project X has more total build up pages, but the Mule was really a step by step, start to finish deal. And it wasn't just another "Hey, buy these parts" series. While there was no shortage of cool parts, the articles focused on how to properly build a car. Cameron Evans, former editor of PHR--now with Redline Oil, and Tom Vogele also deserve credit for making it happen.

I don't think we'll ever see that detailed build-up process duplicated in magazines. Too many bureaucrats in the chain these days.

The great thing about the PHR build-up coverage of The Mule was that we finally got a step-by-step view of the car-building quality "bar" being raised.
