Looks good....that bar makes the car. :thumbsup:

Looking great! Just switch the red dome over the driver and you are in like flint!

also need to get the platemeister to make me a matching plate for the front of the car.


I uploaded more pics to Fotki also.

Good eye!

You still owe me dinner for that one....

hmmm......I dont think so....after all the parts I carted down to Bama for you.....the parts I drug out of Florida.....and all the stuff I have packed in the back seat of your 85 FHP car I have stored for what.....6 years now??

I am pretty sure you owe me a week in cancun bro !! ;)

Ok...you got me, copper.

I'll buy you some Crown and bring you a stoagie this summmer if you'll call it even (but you're still helping me strip it). Dealy yo?

Only the best for you, bro!

Anyone want to join us in the tropical resort in deep middle Ohio, known as SSP Mecca, as interpreted by Jim?

Great looking car! Love that light bar.

Well I would love to... but for reference, I usually bring along:

A more evenly smooth smoke...:cool:

+1 really like the look of the lightbar.

Lookin good ..:2thumbs:

Having been a past care taker of that little jewel, I can tell you folks it runs and drives like a new one. Glad to see it's getting a chance to stretch it's legs once again.:yes:

Patel is good, too. Bring 'em!

I'll bring my portable humidor... just tell me where and when!

Deal.

Love a good smoke. Usually reserved for special occations, weddings, babies, ect. :cool:

after it served with Oregon it was this car......

Car looks great Jim!

thanks...actually it is a 50/30 car. Looks great from 50 foot going 30 mph.....

It will be good when it is finished sitting next to the dark blue unmarked though...

What agency is the white w/blue stripe from?

It's hard to read in the photo, but it looks like it says "SHERWOOD POLICE", which would be a suburb of Portland.

That's the one.

Thanks gentleman.

July 18th thru 24th 2011.

myself and the .NET "clan" are going to completely disasemble an 85 FHP car
drink some alcohol, smoke some stogies, barbeque some steaks (Mike is cooking), swim in the pool, and various other fun activities......

feel free to stop in anytime that week, for an hour, or all week.

admission is free........

Be there or be square. :p

Who all is heading to the Indy show this weekend???

Got here early this morning. Beautiful weather today but calling for heavy rain tonight. Got some interesting video footage to put on YouTube later. ;)

Another moment in time to reflect upon.
 

While at the show in Indiana today I was practicing my skills of observation. I noticed that when all the Boss 351 cars came in this morning, they didn't toot their horns, they didn't rev their engines, they didn't cry out for everyone to please "Look at me, Look at me, Look at me. They just drove in and parked together.

same with the Shelby GT500 crowd.
same with the 70's mustang crowd.
same with the Boss 302 crowd.
same with the 1993 Cobra crowd.

and so on......

I was seeing a pattern. A pattern of politeness and general good cheer.

then the mustang cop car guys show up......

you know....us......us mustang cop car guys......

can you hear it? can you hear the cries for attention???

Are you sitting on the edge of your seat in anticipation?

nope.....cause you ALREADY know what is about to happen....

wait......is it a sanctioned parade?

nope.....

well yeh but was it on specific invite by the host club?

nope.... (but I bet that excuse will get thrown out there)

well then they must have got a call from Ford Motor Company requesting a parade escort?????

uhhh...hell no....

So now (as a faithful member of the "Brand - X" :cool: SSP Mustang website, I bring to you yet another example of poor judgment by using the sirens to announce the arrival of the SSP Mustangs-

wail wail yelp yelp........Look at me......Look at me....Look at me.....

Despite this crap......It was a great day....here is my beat up, unrestored, clapped out 84 Oregon car. Got lots of attention today....ALL of it positive too, and my neighbors thanked me for not blaring my siren....yada yada....

Car looks great, and hats off to whomever was in the first FHP car. The others' conduct speaks for itself (yet again).

Thanks for being there to represent us.

Car is looking great Jim!

thanks Greg, and Mike.

Holy crap!! 4 blips of a siren, and two toots of an air horn... Scandalous!!

Well Jim, you pompous jerk... Would it surprise you to learn that a couple of the show organizers at the registration area asked us to "light 'em up", and "make some noise"? Of course it would. Because you didn't ask, did you? You just get on a forum, play the e-thug, and act like you're the enforcer of some kind of SSP etiquette that exists only in that narrow mind of yours.

We broke no laws and violated no rules. They're our cars, and we will do with them as we please. If you don't like it... tough titties!! Feel free to avail yourself of our state's ample highway system, and leave.

If you have something to say about what we've done, Jim, be a man, and tell us to our faces -- if you have the temerity to do so. You'll be able to find me easily on Sunday. I doubt you will, though. You had plenty of opportunity to do that on Saturday, but you ran and hid behind the security blanket of the internet, and the protection of your like-minded, e-thugging "friends".

If I don't see you before you leave (no shock there), then pretty-please, with sugar on top... GO F#$% YOURSELF.

Peace out, Brand-X!!!

That seems a bit harsh.

LOL..... now there is a whole lot of testosterone filled lunacy.....
I am not going to waste more than 1 minute responding to your insanity.
Just grow a set and quit acting like a fool with your police car, and if you don't like what you read here don't come here.

or.... don't start no s*#t and you won't splash any on yourself ??????

ok....times up. :)
