wouldn't it be great to make a book with all those ol'skool cars -- i'm a graphic designer -- so i can take care of the artwork part -- got also good connections with printers -- the only thing we need is people to send over the pix so i can scan 'm (and resend the pix back to the owners) -- and little stories from back in the days --  yeehaaaa

I was just thinking that the Lightning bug should be comparatively straight forward to get back to original looking! Man how cool would that be!

I know the Tar Babe is being restored as well, can anyone get recent pics of that?
