Eric,

No offense taken on my part.

If you compare the two documents, you'll notice some major differences. I attempted to get Mike to make some changes to the document over there (which I contributed greatly to) but they were never made.

Eric,

the 21 page FHP restoration document on ORG was contributed to by many different individuals. The FHP restoration document on this site is also the culmination of many years of research and collecting of factual documentation dealing with FHP. There are some differences in the documents but in the end is there such a thing as to much information?

MIke M was a huge contributor to the document on SSPMustang.org and having his own web site now it only makes sense that he include his information here also. Between the two sites, anyone restoring a FHP mustang should be able to figure it out. I hope that helps you get it.

Not trying to start anything or antagonise but given the past few weeks in the internet SSP world, I think it is pretty obvious why the information is being posted here.

What I meant was, why not combine the two documents into one comprehensive doc. That's what I don't get.

I guess this goes back to the reason there are two sites now too. Of course I don't know the full story, but it just seems like the major players in this small SSP hobby should be able to settle their differences and work together.

Both docs are a nice source of info for anyone with a FHP SSP though.

Eric,

I think I understand what you meant (it was a little unclear before).

Did you see my post over there about what happened? Mike left it up for about a day, but I'm sure many people missed it.

Mike has needed to update many things there, including the FHP resto doc, which is part of the problem I had with him. He recently made some changes to the tech section, which is a step in the right direction.

I agree with you Eric that it would be better if people could settle their differences. I also wish everybody knew the entire story but that isn't the case so we are all trying to just move on and enjoy the hobby. Hope to see you at a show someday.

That's the problem with Jim's "one from every year" plan....unless you visit his shop, you'll never get to see them all.

I have had the good fortune to see the "Old" location. Words don't cut it to describe being in the presence of that many SSPs all together at once. The "New" location should be outstanding. Jim if a certain little white WSP won't fit in the new barn I think I could squeeze in in at my place HA!
