August Hemmings Muscle Machines
Got my new issue of Hemmings Muscle machines magazine. There is an article called "Fox Fuzz" on a 1992 FHP SSP. Although I enjoyed reading the article and appreciate the work involved in "restoring" an old police car, I can't help and wonder how can you write an story about a piece of police history without checking your facts. Even though the car is a nice example of an in-service patrol car, there are many inaccuracies in the resto. I'm not bashing the car or it's owner but I feel there is a responsiblity in having your vehicle featured and presenting it in an accurate light. I have been collecting parts for years so when the time comes time to restore my car I will do it as accuratly as possible and be proud to know that I did it to the best of my ability. Slapping together bits and pieces and calling it restored is not fair to the people who search for months maybe years for that last piece of the puzzle and does nothing to further the hobby. My .02
