Dear Members--
I wanted to notify everyone that I am no longer able to participate with the discussions here, since I am presently so heavily involved with the production of the registry, the book and related items.
However, I can tell you about some of the highlights of what is currently happening:
- Last week, I had a long talk with Rick Kopec (President) of the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC), and have been asked to provide 4-6 pages of GT/CS History for the 2008 (2009?) Shelby Registry Book. Rick and I have come up with a plan to involve the GT/CS Registry Members in more SAAC events, car shows (incl. rules), etc., and to give our marque of Mustang more recognition within SAAC. This is big news!
- We have discovered some important photos of Little Red.
- Color, 1968, aerial shots of A.O. Smith (where the '68 Shelby & GT/CS fiberglass parts were made) in Ionia, MI.
- I am interviewing a key Ford dealer, that was there in 1968, selling and promoting the GT/CS.
- Ongoing research about Concours detailing, with Jeff Speegle, and help from Mike Jewell. new information about factory processes is coming out.
- I have so much new information about the 2007-2008 GT/CS, that I had to create a whole new chapter!! An interview with it's project manager will be included.
- Fliers about the book and other items will be sent out sometime in the next two months to members of the GT/CS Registry List.
I will be happy to answer any and all "private messages" regarding questions or problems that you may need help with (that the resident experts here might not be able to answer). I will also be PM-ing various folks to ask and/or aknowledge their support, comments and/or hard work providing information and photos, etc., from previous threads here--as a follow through for the book.
(if my PM 'IN" box happens to be full, just try later)
Thank you all!!
