I'll be 69 years old next month. My 55 Tbird was made 17 days after I was born. I'm not particularly interested in the Model T, or Model A. For that reason, I can understand why someone born in 1983 (or later) would not be interested in Y-blocks. 

Some years ago, I drove my Tbird to a local coffee shop. The bus boy/dishwasher saw the car and asked, "Is that a Corvette?" At least he had enough interest to ask. 

I don't know about you fellow Y Block owners, but I miss the Y Block Magazine and keeping up with what is happening.  Is there any word on when or if there will be a final printing, or if someone else will take over the task?  I have tried to keep interested in my builds and the Thunderbird, but where I live, I don't see anyone who has an interest in the Y.  I have to drive 3 hours to visit Ted, and the traffic between here and Ted is horrible.  Just wish there was an outlet for good information and exchange besides Facebook.  Joe-JDC

I talked with Bruce yesterday (Monday 8/21/23) and he said issue #173 was still on the docket to be produced and published. While health issues are slowing Bruce down, the publishing company he was using is also a hang up.  He could not commit to a date for when the next issue of YBM (issue #173) would be in the mail but he said, “Soon as I can”.

Any new updates since May 2023 about Bruce Young and issue #173 of the Y Block Newsletter? 

Talked with Bruce yesterday (5/30/23) and he said that YBM issue #173 should be in the mail in 4-6 weeks.  Both health and publishing company issues have caused delays in getting the magazine out.

Is there an update on Bruce and the Y Block Magazine?  Did #173 get printed?  If so, how can I get a copy?  I did not get my last subscription copies.  Joe-JDC

Do we have any update on the Y Block Magazine future?  I really miss the builds and information shared in those articles.  I hope someone will step up and take over so that it doesn't just disappear.  Joe-JDC

My only real interest in the magazine (25 yr. subscriber) was the tech. articles by Ted, John M., etc.  Occasional Letters-to-the-editor (Jerry, John F. ,Rev.Dan, etc) also of interest.  I would continue to subscribe to any printing of that nature (reprinted website archive text as filler too).

I received YBM issue #172 about 3 weeks ago.  In talking with Bruce, issue #173 will have two of my articles as the article slated for issue #172 did not make it into print.  Because Bruce did get behind on the publication of the magazine, I did get ahead here on the articles being readied for submission.  If the magazine is discontinued after issue #173, I will be looking for another venue in which to continue the articles. While my own website is an option, I would rather those articles were in some form of print.  Here is the cover shot of YBM issue #172.

Sorry to hear of Bruce's situation, although I knew that a health situation had occurred. I suspected that continuation of the magazine was in doubt & as a result I deferred  renewal of my subscription of several years.. I'll miss it for sure..      - I wish Bruce well    -  Paul
