Hey SlowSVT, that's a great idea about the assembly plant book, but it's already been done - and very well done, I must say!

As for your comment about how little had changed in the basic manufacturing aspects, there is a photo in the new edition of Iron Fist, Lead Foot showing a Terminator with an original Model A - both cars built on the same assembly line decades apart! Now THAT is automotive heritage :coolman:

Frank, thanks for that link, it's a little pricey but I may buy that book.

Can't wait to get my new IFLF hardcover I will burn thru those pages like a hot knife thru butter to the point I'm already looking forward to when the 3rd edition when its released LOL Your book is addictive!

Did you post the release of the new edition on mod fords? I was talking to the moderator and he was unaware of your new book. OK OK they are a bunch of "handicapped yellow bellied sap sucking left handed red headed Speed Racer wanna bees" we know. But they are still our brothers :rockon:

Hmmm... I thought Marcie might have hit them with the info but I'll do so first thing tomorrow - thanks for the tip!

In fact, I just updated them now - thanks again, SlowSVT!

Are the posters going to be delivered with the book?

 

[MCipriani]

We've been working on shipping the posters in between fulfilling store orders for Christmas. It will take us a while to get caught up with all the posters, but by next week, the shipping center will be all back to normal and we'll finish up the poster shipments.

Sorry about all my orders!

 

[MCipriani]

Sorry about all my orders!

Hahaha! Oh, that's quite alright. We're gonna add some new stuff after the first of the year and partner up with some other manufacturers to offer some unique items. As always - suggestions are welcome! I have licensing for lots of Ford Performance vehicle logos, sometimes I just don't know what to make!

 

[whitedevil95]

I got a ship notification today! Nice.

That would be your poster most likely. I did make a subtle request of our fulfillment center, it sounded something like this - "PLEASE get those posters out before people form a pitchfork mob and burn down my house!" :fm::cuss::cuss::bash:

Who's car is on video in link?

When car started it sounded like the tick issue.

Another idea, Marcie - to complement the tag that goes on top of the Eaton housing: a matching plate to fit on the driver's side COP cover. That same design or maybe something like "Powered by SVT" may be neat to see. Have a spare set in the garage, so can get the plate dimensions if that interests you (and anyone else).

Something similar to this maybe:

Are you talking about the introduction video on the IFLF book site? If so, that's my own Terminator. I haven't really noticed it and have had no issues are far as fluids - could be the audio recording, or I fairly recently went full synthetic and I've read that can increase noise.

Just made my order! Damn CDN dollar being so low
looking forward to the book and poster! Read the 1st book twice

I just got the book as I am new to the Termi, to be honest I am not much of a reader and have never read a book from cover to cover before. But I am more then halfway through it already, it's got my attention and I am enjoying it.
