I wondered why the MSP cars had the darker bumpers and never knew that the later GSP cars did too. Interesting bit of info. Great progress Bobby. I can't wait to see the '83 come back to life.

Ahhhh ok, as usual I'm sure it was a cost savings thing for the departments to not pay extra to have the bumpers painted to match.

I think South Carolina had a similar issue on their cars also. Greg (UNMRKD) can verify what it was as he's the go to guy on SC SSP's...

I guess for now I'll have to use the TMI upholstery kit I got last Christmas until I can get enough original material. I've got 3 sets of crystal blue seats but none are show quality. I guess I'd rather have the new incorrect seat covers as apposed to crappy ones on a otherwise nice car.

Any opinions on this matter?

Well, from what I've seen, there seems to be 2 lines of thinking on this....

One is that new seats/material is best especially when using everything else new in the interior.

The other is that a little "character" is best. Especially if the rest of the interior is nice but has a certain level of in-service "use".

Well the rest of the interior will be new and plastics freshly dyed... Only drawback will be the leather wrapped crystal blue steering wheel which will probably be impossible to find in nice condition...

Roof and right side buffed up slick :-)

Roof #'s on :-)

Lookin' great! ;)

Hoods done!
Getting closer :-)

Very sharp! :cool:

Wow!

Nice Bobby! :2thumbs: So you are planning to bring this one to Charlotte in April, right?

Thanks Jon :-)

Thanks Bill :-)
And definitely... It'll more than likely be in Mustang's Unlimited display area for the show. I have to after all it's 1 of 19 and the only restored 92 so far :-). I've gathered up almost everything to fully mark this one also. Hope you can swing by and check it out for yourself... :-)

Got a NOS GSP plate for display just in case Kevin can't find a old 606 plate...

Lookin' great

Went back to the local yard to look in the trunk of the old 95 EX GSP Crown Vic (was last used as DOC). Last trip it was closed and no keys and I was short on time. Well removed rear seat & tore through x braces and bingo! There it was the radio itself complete wiring and all. Got it; wiring and the GALLS flasher (exact one as on States GSP) for another $20... I only need a radio head bracket now:-)

GALLS Flasher

Did not realized at the time but that top box is the PA / Siren amp :-)
I've already got a good Motorola load speaker!

Nice find, Bobby.

LOL That's like finding buried treasure !! Nice score !
Your car is looking really nice ! The paint looks great !
Good job !

Great score!! Can't beat that! Much easier than trying to track that stuff down elsewhere!

Thanks Mike; John and Brad :-) !!!
