Re: Old Realiable
There is a book being written now about all (most all) of Bill's cars and ones he had an involvment in. It won't be a biography, but it will have a lot of tribute in it.

Re: Old Realiable
I think the Grump is greatly appreciated and he knows it! He was huge in the late Sixties and all through the Seventies. Anybody that thinks he has been overlooked is a newbie to Chevrolet Drag Racing. He's a huge attraction to any event he appears at. Advertising, posters, etc. I've drag raced since I was 16 years old and I've always known that I'm not doing anything groundbreaking with my builds......I'm just following The Old Man himself with things he pioneered. Anyway, I actually have a great VHS video that a friend gave me called "The Bowtie Brigade" that concentrates on the Chevrolet Musclecar Era and they sit down with Grumpy in his office at work and talk about all of his cars from the 409's, Z-11's, Camaros and Vegas. They even interview Dick Gulstrand, Larry Shinoda, and there's an in-car Camera in Jerry Macneish's '68 Old Reliable and a quick slam through the gears! It's a great video and one of my favorites.

Re: Old Realiable
The book is being written by Doug Boyce and as I understand it's just been finished and will be released around the first of the year.
