Thanks guy!!!

I find it also really awesome that there are a number of PY member cars in the book, says a lot for our passion for the Pontiac hobby.

Be well...

I was pretty excited that my car got two photos in the book on page 82. Then I noticed that one of the photos was incorrectly attributed to someone else. I contacted the publisher and asked that they correct that in future printings - and he said he would. He then told me to look at all their other books and let him know which one for him to send to me because of the mistake.

I'll buy a copy of the future reprint.

I put out the feeler for photos back in May of '16. The book was released this summer.

Dam, I missed seeing that Ken. That was probably the time I was working my tail off and just didn't see it. Oh well, nothing lost nothing gained.
