Wow! Very nice car Bill.

28HopUp 03-16-2016 10:31 AM

Thanks guys! For now, nearly all of the effort has been by Bobby. Soon I will be moving the project forward, as time and money allow. (Rich, although we do stay in touch, it's nice to see you on the forum too! ;))

Bill - hoping the wig-wag info was helpful - and - that you can jump/bypass the flasher to get it to pass inspection. Interestingly, here in WA, we have no safety inspections, but do have a fairly rigorous (though not as bad as CA) emission testing for cars under 25 years old. Thankfully, 88s are now exempt.

Car looks fabulous! And sooo much nicer than when I had it. Really happy with how things have progressed for you. Hmmmm...wonder if Bobby would want to re-paint it's twin? Might be worth the shipping!

The car looks great Bill! Love the color. It's an Adair family color!:2thumbs: Seeing that color makes me want to keep the green on mine...to keep it different.

Thanks guys! I jumped the headlight flasher and added replacement license plate lights/sockets to the deckild. Everything works as it should, according to DMV. I even timed my visit inside DMV perfectly, since the ink was still wet on the slip I was given when they called my number (that NEVER happens!). I did not obtain a low digit number (that is a THING in Delaware - people will pay $2-3K for a 4 digit plate here and the prices for lower numbers can go to 6-digits!). I did however opt for a vanity plate. I always liked the plate I had on my black 85 CHP, and that plate was still in my name despite selling the car, so I got NPRSUIT. If the weather holds out for Saturday, I will take the car to the Cars & Coffee Social.

Looks great Bill.

If you ever decide to drive her to lower Delaware.. drop me a PM.

28HopUp 04-12-2016 05:27 PM

I will do that! We could always meet halfway at a show in Dover. :)

The new plate came in, and I cut down the "NOT IN SERVICE" license plate frame that I made a few years ago. Me likey!

I posted in the Daily Chat thread a photo of my SSP at a Cars & Coffee in Charleston, SC, on Aug 13, 2016. Our son drove the car 620 miles from Delaware to South Carolina the previous day, and made it to the show the next morning after a quick bath (my son and the car, no doubt!). The FB group for the show posted up some photos this past week, which I thought I'd would share here.

Can you find the SSP?

Attached are two other photos taken of the car. Jack Rab did a fairly decent job placing the magnets for the show display. ;)

Bobby worked his magic on it! 😉

Yes, in the blue one Robert has a standard roll bar. In the red one he has a full partition/cage. A few years back we found 2 NOS setups from some guy that used to work for Setina.

Robert put one in his car, and I have one for my 87 WSP (which had one originally). They are unique, and rare. But...makes driving very weird. Like driving in a phone booth. Troopers used to call these car setups: "rolling coffins" - cause if you ever got sideswiped, it would be your coffin.



Do you have any shots of the cage/partition set-ups? I'd love to see that.

Hi Schaffer,

I no longer have any photos of the setup as it went with the car to a new owner. You could likely Google search the internet for PCSD Mustang or Pierce County Sheriff Mustang to see if any pics come up.

Folks used to take photos of the setup every time one of the cars would go out to a show. So I bet there are some pics floating around out there somewhere.

Best, Ryan

I guess this one is part of the way installed? Or is this what it looks like fully installed?

Found another one, so this answers my question above.

28HopUp 01-05-2017 12:12 PM

Thanks for posting those, Mike! That has to be Robert King's 1988 PCSD car. Which reminds me that I need to install the correct pinstripes on my car. All in good time!

28HopUp 01-13-2017 05:26 PM

Back in 2013 a previous owner, Buddy, got the car mentioned in the club newsletter. It's on page 6 -

Speaking of which, do y'all think I should go back to the time when my car was sporting 20" wheels? :p Photo credit to Ryan, from a time before he bought the car -

That is so donkalicious! You can see me with my hand up to my face where I was thinking: "Why, God, why!?" :P

Now Bill... I think I may still have those cut fender extensions in my parts pile if you decide to go that route?;)
