To let those who are interested know,

I will be recieving my first completed hard copy of the book from my publisher in less than 8 days for my final aproval..

I've recieved numerous amount of pm's by interested people, who may be new to the forum or not sure if it was actually out yet...

The book should be availiable for x-mas 2003, (but that depends on the publisher, and thats why a lot of work must be done now)

To all of those last minuters who were thinking of the GREAT opportunity to advertise your business in a TECH book, heres your chance!!!!!!!!!!

Once I read this final copy and submit it, thats it, no more editing or changes...

I'm sure this book will clear up some of your hydraulic mysteries....
and remember, its not an install book by any means....
It basically teaches you how a system works, why things happen, how to hook up a system, all the components in a generic system, a HUGE FAQ's section, wiring, plumbing, A LOT of tips and tricks, like double switching, or various quick disconnects, testing for solenoids, helping your solenoids last longer, all about cylinder bores and gearing... the basic stuff like the difference between coil under vs coil over, all with 3D visual aid labeled and identified for the readers clarity.....

and on, and on, and on,
Hope you all pick up a copy and enjoy it and pass it on to those who may need it....

Keep scrapn'

well, been a little hold up because of some bonus pics and info going in, so looks like a few weeks past x-mas, kinda disaponting for the readers to get it soo late, I get about 3-5 emails a day saying, I WANT A COPY,

But it WILL be worth the wait... especially to those who have been following the lowriding scene for a very long time... :biggrin: :biggrin:

yeah, I'll sign them,

your car and Joes 84 both on 3 under the 3 wheel section..

looks good....

I be having a booth for sure this year at scrape so I'm sure I'll be wearing out pens,
plus selling some cool stuff, prolly a few adex's and b-magic piston pumps and switch extensions, chrome accums and racks, not sure yet, too far away to know what else....

And my car will be there this year,

Hey joe, the 65 will be next door this weekend, getting some new guts, so finally you'll see it... :biggrin:

In case you didn't know Richard, sends me some very LARGE files. I edit them and then post. If you ever want to see the original files, let me know, They are about 3-5 times in size. (pixels and bytes).

Obviously suitable for framing.

See if Richard will market them on special paper with a much smaller Copywrite text.

Thats a good Idea,

making posters... :0 :0 :0

Well, I put the copywrite soooo BIG incase any right clickers use it for anything with out permission, this way you have to seriously edit the pic to use it,

I was thinking about selling CD's with hundreds of jpegs of all kinds of stuff like this, you could make endless publications or posters or anything from it,

Thanx for posting it tony... :biggrin:

so much to my disapointment, the books release date is closer to the middle of January

BUT, I've added a lot of great pictures and never before seen pics :0 :0 :0 :0
not just from my area either

So I'll be pinning a post when its released, and hopefully advertising in LRM....
