Rat Tuned,
I am not trying to take the wind out of your sails. I see Bill at the "Matco Tools Spring Supernationals". If you come to Englishtown he will be there. I am sure that he would be happy to sign your stuff, he is really cool. I just was trying to worn you to be careful with him on the phone. Jenkins and Malcolm Durham are very leery of dealing with fans over the phone. They are both very cool, you just have to approach them the right way. He signed my "Old Reliable" Bel Air model and he really liked it. I will get you more info on getting in touch if you like. Email me.

Andrew is correct about Jenkins on the phone. I had called him about 3 years ago about having him do the engine in my Yenko. He thought about it for about 10 seconds, asked what I wanted out of it, and when I said stock - he said no thanks, end of conversation. When I asked him why he didn't want to do it, he said that he is doing a lot of development work on V6 racing engines and doesn't have time for that kind of stuff. He finished with, 'have a nice day'. He does not BS over the phone. Jenkins reminds me of an older Warren Johnson, who also does not BS over the phone.
Just my experience, I would like a license plate and shirts as well.

There is a ad in National Dragster that is selling the Jenkins Competition license plates. No phone number just a address to send $12 inc. s&h to:

Brian Browell
711 N. 31 st.
Lafayette, IN 47904

Must be a licenced product because it is a big ad.

***************NEW GRUMP INFO****************

I just read the latest issue of "National Dragster"(The Official Magazine of the National Hot Rod Assoc.) and they did an article on Bill Jenkins turning 70. Among the guests were the sister of the late Peter Revson (sorry I do not know her name) , Jere Stahl, Ritchie Zul, and Paul Blevins. If you are a "Grump" fan check it out.
