Tangled,

Thanks for the trip to the past. Interesting read.

Still, much has changed in the 7 years since the BOD made their dastardly move to kill the information brought forth by Jerry and Lawson. I say dastardly because of the complete lack of cooperation and backroom decisions exhibited by them.

How different is the club officer roster in 2018 as opposed to 2011? Might a change of heart on their part allow a finish to this book? At least an open discussion with the two authors could be done; a re-examination of costs to complete since the publishing world is now so dramatically different today.

Were it me in Jerry and Lawson's spot though, I think I would salute them with my mid-most finger and go on about my business.

In the meantime, with a complete lack of authoritative restoration info, I think I'm just gonna go buy a bunch of hardware at Home Depot and put it back together by whatever means I can. All new shiny hardware from china. Seems fitting. Ford always liked a good deal when he could find it.
