I talked to a "high up" person today that said the revisions "are" at the printer and the current plan is to be printed in a week. While I understand it's been awhile and like a kid waiting for Christmas, people become impatient. Stuff happens and those doing the work are volunteers so post #16 is the most sensible.

Everyone who subscribed to the digital edition of The Restorer will receive an email with a link, when it is up and ready to go, that you can follow to read it. The target for this email to go out will be right around the same time that the paper copies are mailed out. So you will get an email roughly every 2 months.

You should have access to this information. When will they be mailed. Why is the President and executive in hiding? why have they not issued an official statement. Wayne

That is great news, no really. That means the politics involved with two clubs joining to produce one common item is over. We just have to sit and wait.

FYI, the following update was posted on the MAFCA home page regarding this:

RESTORATION GUIDELINES NOW AVAILABLE!

December 28 - The long awaited Revision 4 of the Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards are now in stock at the MAFCA Office. All preordered copies have been mailed. If you preordered a copy, you should be receiving it shortly.

We apologize for the delay, but we wanted our members to receive the best quality product possible.

The Guidelines remains a collaboration of both MARC and MAFCA. It will be available as a complete volume for $55 or just the Revision 4 update that you can add to your existing Guidelines for $30, both plus shipping.

To order online, click here: https://mafca.com/cart/index.php?show_price=yes

Or to order by phone, contact MAFCA Headquarters (562) 697-2712 Monday - Friday from 10AM to 4PM Pacific time.

New Release of Restoration Guidelines

December 17 - The long awaited Revision 4 to the Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards was on its way to the MAFCA office when a mistake was discovered. The revision was not three-hole punched and rather than send our members a defective product, the truck was turned around and is going back to Michigan.

The RG&JS are shrink wrapped so the printer will need to open each package, three-hole punch them and reshrink wrap the book. This will take some time and delay our receipt of the new RG&JS until January. Both MARC and MAFCA apologize to the Model A community for the delay. This one was beyond our control. The printer is assuming full responsibility.

Total incompetence on the part of all involved. Talk about a Mickey Mouse organization! Wayne

Are you sure. The truck has hardly had enough time to turn around. Please post a picture because many of us are doubting you actually have it. Wayne

SMH

Yikes! Dude, chill out.

We are merely reporting that it has arrived. Had not yet even opened it when I reported. Like the rest of the guys, I will be going over it page by page. Just be patient, please.

From the way it sounded MAFCA had the holes punched locally to expedite the process.. MARC shipped them all the way back to the original place... WTF
