1988 GSP Perm #8301
 

Well I recently picked this up, it's a 88 GSP unknown unit # ( for now), as a roller. It has spent the last 10 or so years of it life on the drag strip. I removed the trunk battery box, five lug suspension, nitros etc... I wanted it back 4 lug so I can run the correct black ten holes from time to time. I installed a mild 306/AOD I already had and am making it my fun car... I'll be repainting it very soon(the correct gray and blue with correct breaks). Not doing jams or under hood as it's decent and original. I'll also address interior (which is in bad need of help). But I just couldn't refuse it for the price.

Thanks for the pictures! You are building up a great collection of SSPs!!! :D

Solid looking 'toy'! That's what I've got to convince my wife. Have a second Mustang for driving around while I work on the first one! Ha! That'll never fly with her.

Got two mint Ford fenders out of storage, sealed and trimmed them out and replaced originals ( the VIN labels had been painted over previously ). Painted a new aftermarket cover and installed it temporarily. Repaired crease down drivers door. Repaired roof patch for light bar wire( was cracking after all these years). Found and installed some correct and decent interior it was missing (Still need to replace quarter trim).

Still have a few dings to repair and lots of blocking to go but hopefully she'll have new paint in a couple weeks...

Still need to clean but I believe it'll clean decent enough...

Engine bay shot...

Keep in mind I'm not building this one into a show car. Just turning it back into a street car from a all out drag car ( it had no heater box, battery relocated to trunk, shut off switch etc...) done away with all that replaced heater box and put in new heater core. I didn't repainting engine compartment because its pretty untouched and not too bad. But I think I will do door and trunk jams, just to clean it up a little more.

Getting into the spring cleaning I see. Looking good.

Thanks,

Yea by the time I get the ones I own now done my parts collection will have greatly decreased! lol :-)

Thanks for the update, Bobby! :)

Got roof sanded, primed, blocked and painted...

The quarter glasses were removed for painting. I just have them bolted in with 4 nuts each temporarily for now, since they will have to be taken back out to paint the blue.

During the sanding and blocking process I found out Jones County painted the GSP black with a sorta mint colored gray roof and trunk lid. I would assume hood too but it is long gone so no way to know for sure... This expains the goofy looking break that was between the blue and gray on the roof. Would LOVE to find in service pics of it that way!

Trunk lid done !
On to the blue...

Got her sanded and will be painting her today!!!!
I'm a little excited... :-)

You should be making such quick progress on all your various painting projects.

I'm so freakin excited !!!! lol

Nice work!

Beautiful SSP! Don't let my wife know I said that, LOL.

Thanks guys. Hopefully I can get her all back together tomorrow. I can't wait :-)

Sweet

Lookin' GOOD! :thumbsup:

Interested in adopting a 47 year old house broken car nut??? Nice collection. Pics look good.

Thanks :-)

Free labor??? Hummm... Lol..

Thanks :-)

Hopefully get more pics posted up tomorrow. Still gotta stripp paint off door locks; swap door panels; remove moulding from original fenders; black out mouldings on front cover and down both sides( was on good so I did not remove them) side note (my $27 can of SEM trim paint won't spray!). I selfishly been driving the wheels off this weekend instead of updating pics... Lol

As long as the adoption includes the required roof over my head and MY quality of home cooked food (and $XX/hr)........ I'M IN!!!!
