Great news for the NHP car and for you Jim. Sounds like you have a solid plan for your retirement...you'll LOVE it!! :thumbsup:

Spent about an hour on the phone last night with the retired Sergeant that was assigned to my 86 NHP car. She currently lives in Reno Nevada. John had spoken with her several times and passed on her information to me when I bought the car from him. She is VERY nice lady and real excited about the car being restored. She explained to me that the license plates on the cars were the license plates assigned to a specific trooper. She was originally assigned plate #135 early in her career and then when NHP made some changes her unit number changed to 063. She is sending me an original set of the silver and black NHP plates for the car. :thumbsup:

additionally she is going to draw me a picture of how all the equipment was set up in the car. She said she had a CB radio, the NHP radio, a flashlight, a scanner, and the light bar controller

Today I am meeting my new painter at my shop to look at the NHP car and my plan is to have it finished in time for the national show in Reno next year. Hoping to reunite her and the car for a photo op etc.

That all sounds great, Jim! :thumbsup:

Sounds awesome! Congrats ! I hope it all goes as planned:2thumbs:

Very cool! I'm looking forward to the restoration pictures. By the way did you get the decals from m squad yet?

That's great, Jim! Can't wait to see progress on this one - it is definitely deserving of the restoration effort. That would be too cool to see it reunited with the trooper.

I have not received the decals yet I will be getting them from John once M Squad sends them to him and as of last week he did not have them yet.

My new paint guy is doing the NHP next. Hope to have it in his shop by January first if all goes as planned.

Decals
 

I ordered them about 2 months before Dave did and still nothing he stopped responding to me last 2 times we spoke he said they were done and he just needed to mail them after he recovered from surgery.
