Ford Pro-Touring/Restomod Book is Official

[TonyHuntimer]

Mike,
Good luck on the retirement plan.


TRapin,
Basically my publisher would not allow me to label the Ford book as Pro-Touring since most Ford guys don't know what Pro-Touring is. I had to use their term for modifying Fords, which is Restomod. As far as the guy who coined the term "Restomod" and I are concerned, the term Restomod is pretty much the same concept as Pro-Touring. For most of the Ford enthusiasts my book takes Restomod to the next level. A good portion of the general information from the GM book is the same in the Ford book, but the Ford book got all new Ford specific information never written about before and definitely never all included in one book. Heck, I even included general information that never made it into the GM book.

If my publisher gives me the thumbs up for the MOPAR book, it will be called "How To Build and Modify Chrysler Pro-Touring Street Machines" or something like that. I consider these a Pro-Touring Book Series.

I hope that answers your question.

Andrew,
Thanks! That's cool. I had no idea...




Steve,
Thanks! Can't wait to see the issue. Mopar in my future? I hope.


Vince,
I'll bring some copies to sell at the SEMA dinner and a couple for the raffle.

Everyone,
Thanks for the support and interest.

Hey Tony, I can give you cash if I see you any time soon. And can you guess what number I want? Hee hee... No, not 69. I want #65. I'll see about the PDF thing.

Thanks Z,

I'll be in Bakersfield this weekend, so I can't make the Camaro Club meeting. If it were only next week. I was really hoping to drive the car to the meeting.

There's always next month,
Tony

The meeting is on the 12th this month. See you there. It's been moved because of the Hot August Nights thing.....

Tony,
Congratulations on the book!
I would like a signed copy as well.
Could you send me a PM with the price and address for the check?
I would like number #22. (damn zbugger got #65)
Second choice #85 or whatever is left.
Thanks,
Scott

Tony, I too want a signed copy. You need to give us Ford guys your publishers email to eduacate him about Pro-touring Fords.

I look forward to seeing the new book.

Thanks Tony. I had forgotten about the Fords going by the term Restomod. That would make sense.
