how
good you are you still
need an up-
holstery guy, and
help with
the
paint,
and
of
cours(;' tht're's a!vvays the vviring to
worry
about.
In this
situation
[ have
to
start
by
thanking
Pe\(, Chapouris for opening
the
SO-CAL shop to
nIl'
and
mv
camera.
Tonv

as master of
~ccremonies
non-professional is Chris Shelton,
the young man
who
impressed
Pete Chapouris by assembling his
frame in record tilne so he could drive the
caT
to a
local
event. Neal Letourneau
is
the professional,
who with John Keena's permission,
encouraged
me
to
stop by
and photograph
every
step of their chas-
Sis-building process.
For
help with
the wheels
chapter
I need
to
ex-
press my gratitude to Phil at PS
Engineering
and
Alan
at
Budnik.
And
finally I
need
to express a col-
lective thanks to
everyone
in
the
industry-all
the
staff
and ad
agency personnel
who
helped
by
send-
ing images and
information
on the rails from
Deuce Factory,
the
frame from TCI (Total
Cost
In-
volved),
the
brakes from ECI (Engineered
Compo-
nents,
Inc), the axle from
Super
Bell, the motor
mounts
from Chassis Engineering,
and
all
the
rest.
In closing I have to thank my lovely and talented
wife,
Mary
Lanz.
Mary tolerates my
lengthy ab-
sences in California, she helps with proofreading,
and
(most important)
provides
moral support
and
pep talks when I
don't
think there's any way the
book will
ever get
finished.

Twas
there,
arranging photo
