I just picked up the book "Motion Performance-Tales of A Muscle Car Builder" by Martyn L. Schorr, got it on eBay. I'm a big fan of Musclecar history but also hot rod Corvettes. I haven't started reading it yet but it has some great pictures and chapters of the Motion Corvettes. I'm looking forward to this. One of these days I'll wade through the instructions to post pics here on CF.

Hi
Saw your interested in HR history. By chance do you have anything on Bob Larson (Larson's Engineering), Carl Holbrook, Dave Schilk? I am putting together a build history on my car and these three guys were the builders. Sadly, all have passed. Dave Schilk the latest just 1 week after I purchased my car.
74 Twin Turbo Greenwood Widebody.

Anything is appreciated.
