(Updated - again! 9-1-2008)

Faxon now has some of the engineering drawings available in book form with more on the way. To keep a close eye on what is (and will be) available, please visit this link;

UPDATE! (August 3rd, 2008)

I found out more about the engineering drawings at Carlisle.

Chrysler has licensed Faxon Auto Books to release the drawings I had (and many more) in book form.

I have not heard yet when the books will be done and for sale. You can keep an eye on Faxon's website at www.faxonautoliterature.com/default.cfm

If I hear anything more I will post it here.

As of February 28th, 2008, the engineering drawings formerly at this link have gone away, that is the bad news. There is a silver lining though!

One of the Chrysler LLC employees that works in Chrysler Brand Protection has notified me that these drawings are copyrighted and owned by Chrysler LLC. He has asked me to remove them from my site before the 29th of this month, and I have told him that I will comply.

Several people have worked very hard to scan these and make them available for all to see, I was quite happy to provide a venue for that. I mentioned to him that I would hate to see these "go away" forever, so I offered to send him all the scans I have of them if they could be hosted on the Chrysler Heritage website.

His response;

"Thank you for the offer to provide us copies of the prints although it will not be necessary."

This is where the good new comes in! This is another direct quote from him;

"To give you more insight, the reason for my request is that the Chrysler Heritage website is preparing to display these on their site (I don't have timing)."

I of course have asked for more details. I am sincerely hoping that they have other drawings that we did not have on the HH site. Time will tell of course, but I sure hope so!

I have asked him to keep me in the loop and let me know when the engineering drawings on their site go live. I will post an update when one is available.

Thanks to everyone that worked so hard on these to make them public. Hopefully our combined efforts have inspired Chrylser LLC to post ALL the engineering drawings they have.
