Against my better judgement I've decided to forgo the T5 and put an SROD back into my 83 SSP. Since it won't be raced I think one will hold up fine. I have nothing in it right now, so I need the entire setup. Let me know what you guys might have lying around.

I have an extra case, but no internals. Have you tried posting for one over at 4EP? I'm sure you can find one there pretty quickly.

A few more weeks and this one is on it's way to lend some parts. Just not my 4 speed!

There he is! Jon it's all your fault that I'm in search of an SROD. :thumbsup: You've convinced me to keep it original. Hey... thanks for the pic too!

WAKE UP DUDE!!! LOL! Yeah it's hiding out in my shop behind other Mustangs of various status. I started a web page last year but never finished it. I promise to get it done and live soon. There's quite a bit of history to share with you guys.

Browse through this folder in order and you'll see a timeline of my car over the years and a few cool articles I dug up. Feel free to use the pics and info for the greater good of SSPs everywhere!

I'd like to find an entire setup since I have nothing in it right now. I do have a posting in the wanted section of FEP, I figured I'd have lots to choose from, but not so far.

Happy to share guys! I found these articles in the "Google News" search. They actually have a few newspapers archived. I did notice some articles from FL, OR, GA, TX and CA for '83. The keywords I used were "83 patrol Mustang". Some you have to purchase, but most were free. Happy searching guys!!

Check out the pic I found of an '83 FHP car. :yes: This happens to be from the Gainesville Sun, of a Gainesville car.

Nice pic there, I like the angled fender lettering very cool.

I hadn't had the chance to check it out, but was hoping there might be some new pictures. What is the deal with the crooked fender lettering?

I checked out some pics from the gallery and they are parallel to the ground. The above picture looks a little odd because of the angle of the car.

The good news is that with your magnetics you'll be able to adjust them with ease! I do vinyl lettering quite a bit, and in my opinion I would've followed the contour on the car. But that's me.

If you find one just make sure it's for a Fox body and not a Mustang II. They look the same but they're not. Doug

Very good advice. I think I have some tag ID numbers around here somewhere for reference.

I've secured 2 complete SROD setups, and one is from an 83!!

Thanks everyone!
