 Mike, 



  I see several contradictions in your response but none the less.... you

should have told me you were

writing an article that was taking three years or more to write, had I

known, perhaps my expectations would have been different and I would not

have written a 'profile' for you. 

  I know of no photos taken by Dave Adler of my car during restoration. All

photos supplied by myself or

the shop.

  

 My POINT was that you worded your letter to me very poorly. It's rude tone

suggested in some way that

you were enacting some sort of revenge for letting PI run an article and I

paid the price because you had

all the good photos and held them hostage. I think you can see that I took

offense.  All those times I asked

about the photos or article I was never told of your vision of taking 5

years and lumping it together. Why hold 

my stuff for so long without including me in the plan?



 In the future, lets communicate. It sounds like you were pretty upset back

when my car was restored and I had no idea. Also... Karen doesn't remember

the conversation you mentioned regarding said article.



  I also think you know very little of my efforts with club members and

vendors as well as the small contingent of non-member Pantera owners who

call me endlessly with questions....... 

 

  Lastly.... I said SOME people. Referring of course to you, my friend.



Mike
