Hmmmm... Not much attention for a Show Rod Book on a Show Rod board. In all fairness it was discussed in a prior thread , but still that's no excuse to not reply (I'm guilty) . I see lots of members visiting the site every day and almost none of them post or reply to anything .  |

Barnes & Noble Bookstore has a new release date of 1/28/2015. That's good to know . Amazon had Jan 15th as the estimated ship date and today I got an email saying they need more time before they can give an estimate . . . very strange . |

Guys: Cartech got backed up a bit, but say they'll ship your books late next week. Sorry for the delay - no idea what it's about. Scotty |

Well guys, I finally got a reply from Scotty from my inquiries about the 'contributor copy' that he mentioned we would all recieve at the proper time. And he now tells me that all of his copies are spoken for! (sorry to rant, but, as a contributor I guess I expected at least a copy that I didn't have to buy! Rant over)I dodn't know what he told the rest of the gang, but I feel a little let down.  It does look like a kool book. Congrats to everyone that got a spot in it!!.  |

Yep, Scotty was going to give me an update when he "heard something" ... curiosity got the best of me so I went ahead and logged on to Amazon and ordered one ... if the ordered issue from Amazon shows up before the courtesy issue then I'd have to say someone at CarTech dropped the ball ... |

Great minds... Geeez-o-pete!
I ordered from Amazon also, somewhere around the 17th. I got notice today
from Amazon that the expected delivery date is Thursday 1-29-2015.
would be kinda funny if they both arrived together.

**Update** ... Scotty replied after speaking with CarTech.. The initial order went to Amazon as planned.. the following order was tied up in customs (according to CarTech) coming for China .. The complimentary books are still coming but may be the lighter part of February before we see them... no biggie ... but now anyone that is watching their mailbox closely will know! !

All I can say is that you guys are going to love this book ! And if you haven't ordered one yet you really should . My initial thought a few months ago was to wait and see before I spent more money on another book . . . boy was I wrong ! I'm so glad I changed my mind and ordered one ! |

Just spent an hour with it. Great book! Very will done. Lots of good back stories and info.

LOTS of contributions from this forum.

You guys... you guys are the ground zero of experts on this subject. Scotty poured his heart into this project, and if you get a copy, read it and let him know what you think. Personally, I think it was a monumental task, especially for somebody who isn't a model nerd like some of us, to undertake, and process, and he really made it easy to understand and appreciate... I know we can be a critical bunch, but the book is very well crafted and I like the attention and angles he gave to each aspect, some of which, I'd never thought about before... If you dig it, let him know... I think it does our little corner of the modeling community proper justice and I'm glad he decided to shed some light on our passion.
Thanks Scotty! Great job.

Interesting... Other than not listing every single showrod kit made, what else do you feel was left out?
I don't think it was supposed to be a one-stop, complete comprehensive catalog of the entire genre, just shed some light into the hows and whys for those who aren't in the know...

Received my copies as well... lots of good reading and yes many familiar names too boot .. It was great to see the "big 3" in the same article .. I've exchanged many messages with Scotty since the book has been published as we also share another interest .. Great Job on the book.. Kudos to all involved and for Scotty sharing his talents... as well as CarTech for their work as well ..
