DV: I hear your concern, and thanks for voicing it. As a retired enforcement officer and regulator I am well aware of these types of situations. The giving of advice as you state can have adverse consequences as you pointed out.

If I wrote any type of manual it certainly would not be one that provides instructions to build a CR car. There would be no financial gain to be had. What, here on this site we seem to get about 1 request a month for someone needing a manual. You would only expect to sell about 20 a year, and for how many years before all the lost forgotten kits are assembled. the only person really interested in a new manual would be the new owners of CR if there ever is one.

Now if someone could figure out how to write a novel or biography of how they built cars and could make it really interesting to a wide audience, make it eintertaining then you might be able to sell a few thousand of them and actually make a dollar or two from it. There are already hundreds of books on how to build hot rods, how to wire them, how to paint cars, how to upholster, how to rebuild engines, etc.......... so until there is a new owner of cr there most likely will not be someone coming out with such a narrowly focused book on this subject of cr's and building them. Therefore, we just as you say try to get the stuff people need to help them thru the problems they have.

As for me I have many more interesting subjects to write books on that would appeal to a wider audience than a manual on car building.

I will keep my blog going and provide as specific details as possible so perhaps someone can learn just a little, most likely you will do the same.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that someone will revive the CR brand and parts just in case I need something.
