I've recieved many request for a copy of the book, so if you guy's want to pitch in for a flat bed scanner I'll just email it to you!...LOL

I remember that book. It's a good one. Boy back when I first got into this stuff that was THE man to talk to about TA suspensions. Herb Adams was also MEAN on the horn too. Him and the Tijuana Brass were great! Am I getting him mixed up with someone else?

I talked to Herb on the phone back in the mid 80's and he was really nice to me when I quized him about his cast aluminum oil pan with deep sump pick-up...."The Pappa of the Trans am"

That's cool you got to talk to him shaker455. You know who else is great to talk to and always VERY helpful is Nunzi. If you ever have any questions if he doesn't know he knows who does. He's been a great help to me. I talked to Lee Holman a few years ago on the phone. Very good guy. There all just car guys like us they just make more money.

I have his suspension book, and I take it with a grain of salt at least for street use. Didn't know he had an earlier book. Do you have the ISBN for the Camaro/Firebird book?

So you're saying he changed his name to play in the band?

I know his bars were solid and super strong. You would have more problems keeping the brackets attached to the frame than with his bars. And you can tell when you pop a bolt head off a bracket bolt half way though corner too !!!

No, he still used the name "Herb".

Hi Shaker,

I would like to get a copy as well. I believe this book has been out of print for a long time. Let me know if you can scan it or I am willing to pay for the mail/copying (I', in Canada).

I actually talked to Mr Adams back in the early 90s about getting my TA setup for autocrossing. He was very helpful and a bit amusing as well.

Let me know about the book.

Ok, I got it now.

I know one thing, a TA isn't a TA if it doesn't take a corner FAST.
