    Congratulations go out to Arvid Svendsen (SVENDSEN) who's a member here with a 66 Belvedere wagon who came through for me when I needed a tailgate for my Belvedere wagon.
    I knew he's been working on his book for a while now, and I just saw the review of his newest book, "How to Rebuild the Big Block Mopar" in the October 2012 issue of Mopar Collectors Guide. They love it! They described it as "the most comprehensive, and best illustrated engine building guide we've seen in our lives". Way to go Arvid! Now I'll have to go out and buy me a copy.

    Good on ya Svendsen!!! I love Mopar Collectors Guide! They printed a picture of my wagon a couple years ago. That is super impressive, that is a highly respected publication among Mopar freaks. The staff is really experienced and knowlegeable.

    Thanks Jim and station wagon buddies. I appreciate the kind words from Mopar Collectors Guide, no question. The book would not have happened without Jim Lewis' willingness to build the motor at his shop, along with his skilled worker Everett. Huge thanks also have to go out to my buddy Jim Hale, who is a Mopar legend, and was a tremendous help in working with me on the book.

    I've got some mistakes in the book, totally my fault, so I'm hoping that there might be a second printing in order to make corrections. But again, thanks for the kind words folks!
