Thank You for the latest information. Any information on what will happen to the back issues he has available. I sent a check for back issues in July 2023 and have not received any back issues or the check returned? 
Respectfully a loyal Y Block fan.

Does anyone have any new news concerning Mr. Bruce Young and the future of the Y Block Newsletter and even the back issues he had copies of. Would be nice if someone near Mr. Bruce Young could take over the Newsletter and back issues, I like others sure do miss the Y Block Newsletter and enjoyed receiving the newsletter when it arrived in the mail.

Great timing on your question.  I just talked with Bruce Young on Friday (12/21/23) and he did say that the next issue is almost ready for the publisher.  He’s thinking either this coming week or the first week of January for issue #173 to be in the publishers’ hands.  Bruce did mention that the next issue will be 40 pages.

After that issue is in print and in the mail, then the following issue (#174) will be the last issue for the YBM.  I have submitted a lengthy article for that issue but not aware of what other articles will make that issue.  If any of you have been contemplating writing an article, this is the time to do it and send it to Bruce.  An influx of articles could potentially speed things up and/or make for yet another issue.

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

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

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”.

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
