SyTy Book

[Timbo]

Just today I started toying with the idea of writing a book about the Syclone, Typhoon, and Sonoma GT. I've seen, read, and own a lot of automotive books - some about specific cars - and have never seen any relating specifically to SyTys. In fact, I've seen very few with much factual information about SyTys. Does anyone know of any SyTy books currently in existence?
This would be a basic informational book with lots of pictures. It would deal mainly with the history and specs of these trucks (not a how-to book for owners). If I get a favorable response, I might post a basic outline for review in this thread. What does everyone think?

I was gonna write one in college but I never got around to it.............damn parties :lol:

Go for it.

You have one sold already ::thumbsup::

 

[ThaJokr]

I'm sold

Don't forget us little people on the BB!? Hell, all the info you need is right here!

 

[AlaskaTy]

I think it's a great idea. I'm sure most people on the BB would buy it so there's a good chunk of sales right there 8)

I would be interested if it covered some of the historical aspects of these trucks development. When were the ideas first hatched? Were there other options they decided not to go with? Interviews with the designers, marketers ect would be awesome too. The problem with getting this type of data is it was 13-14 years ago and these people have moved on to other projects. Hopefully some of them still have a soft spot in their hearts for these little beasts and would be willing to give you some face time to record it.

I would definately buy one.

 

[no_ty_yet]

That sounds like a great idea, I'd be in for one.

 

[442typhoondude]

If you build it they will come. In other words, that would be kickass!!!! Do it.

I think my truck should be on the cover.

 

[Timbo]

Working on an outline now.
Nate, I doubt I'll be able to get much first hand info on the designing of the trucks, but I imagine I'll be bugging Merk a lot during this project for history and Sonoma GT info.
Tyler, I was thinking of a single picture of a Ty, Sy, and Sonoma GT for the cover, but actually I think a picture of each and a picture of all three would be better, so you can maybe have the picture of the Ty. The cover is probably the last thing I'm going to worry about though.

make sure u include a section on clones....the imitators.....

 

[NateP]

Well you never know, sometimes designers have "proud moments" they love to talk about, hopefully the Sy Ty's are proud moments.

If you get this off the ground I know a few small publishing companies that I work with that can put together your final product.
