I bought one through Eckler's about a year ago. Helpful book. Why is it out of publication?

I might have that book. Let me look for it.

If I have it you can "borrow" it as long as you like.

They came out with a replacement, a set of two books which I have, but they don't include the info how to attach a complete nose piece to a midyear. That is precisely the info I'll need sometime this summer. I might be in the "book renting" mode come June...

Well... Sorry to say I haven't been able to find it. It's been 10 years so I'm not sure if I even ever had that particular book.

I may have another source if you can wait a few days.

I lived in Vero Beach until a few months ago and for years I never missed a Spring Daytona or Thanksgiving Rod Run at the track in Daytona, two of the absolute greatest car shows/swap meets in the country.

http://daytonabeachcarshows.com/sdates.html

I saw the Ecklers book numerous times as I'd browse the vendor and swap meet areas. I remember that book specifically because I already had a copy.

The 2005 Spring Daytona show starts tomorrow and runs thru Sunday. While there are no guarantees you'd find the book at this year's show, I'll guarantee you'd have a blast while looking for it !!!!!! If I was anywhere within 200 or 300 miles of Daytona I'd be heading for the track this weekend.
