Default Re: New Yenko book, HELP!!!

Les, I do not think Frank was being judgemental just stating the facts. I don't care who the writer is, I think it would always be a positive thing to have someone proof their articles before they are submitted for accuracy ESPECIALLY when it pertains to a particular car or in this case a time in history. Then at the very least, that owner should at least read the rough draft before it goes to ink. As far as the Yenko history goes, I seriously doubt any one person knows everything about Don, his life and his cars and therefore it should be a group effort by some of the Yenko historians. Many so called facts about the assembly of these cars have been proven inaccurate over the years due to all the research and restorations that have been done thereby making a lot of the original information inaccurate.

Both Frank and I have had articles written or photos taken of cars we were involved with and both have had inaccuracies printed about them. In Franks case, I think the wrong name was applied to the car. I think that is all Frank was suggesting. Easier to fix beforehand than later. Bob is a great writer but he is not perfect. No one is.
