1993 Winterpark FL SSP
 

Guys,

It is official, The Winterpark SSP is 100% complete!!! I will upload more pictures as soon as it gets nicer here, attatched is one in my garage.
(I am not sure why I could not start this thread in the Aero Car Section)

I wanted to thank everyone that has helped me over this past 6 months.

I have not had the courage to tally up the receipts but am quite confident it far exceeds the value and I don't care. I don't ever plan on selling it and did it 100% correct.

Here is the final list:

WOW :eek: !! It looks great and much better than the brochure car.

BEAUTIFUL!!!:2thumbs:

A million times better than the brochure car.

Thanks for the kudos guys!

That's really nice! Do you have any in-service pics of it?

I have one from the officer who drove the car. It is sitting in his driveway at his home. I will scan it and upload it soon. I have been in close contact with him. The whole Winterpark PD department is excited to see the final product. It looks exact except for the black 10-holes.

Looks Good!!!:2thumbs:

Very sharp and +1000 on the brochure car comments. Great job!

really nice job on that one. The only thing I would get rid of is the 5.0/police interceptor emblems for regular 5.0 emblems. That car does look great though.

Awsome job!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!:2thumbs:

I am very happy on how it turned out. Attatched is the link of the "process" of completing it.

(I will have to upload pictures of the interior as it is also 100% perfect, like the undercarriage and engine bay)

Interior Picture
 

Here you go

Picture 2 and 3
 

One of the pictures is of the "custom bracket" that we made for the PA 300 controller to fit neatly below the radio instead of attached to the console. This may not exactly be "factory" item (although the bracket is made by Federal Signal with some modification), but it cleans up the console area nicely.

Definitely post the in-service picture!

Ha! I never have done that and like you, it doesn't matter to me either. The only thing that's important is that you're satisfied with the end product and ready to enjoy it. Congrats on an awesome restoration so now get out there and show it off! :thumbsup:

Thanks!
 

ROGER that!!!

In Service Picture!
 

The only one I have.

Looks great, any thoughts on putting the unpainted wheels back on since you stayed so true to the orig? You finished that thing quick!

Nice, very nice.

WOW
 

Great job Barry!! your car looks incredible!!

that thing looks freakn sweet,Superb work man!

Wow, that car is gorgeous. Congrats.

I don't own an SSP (but would love one), and this is a shining example of how to keep these things true to form.

Excellent!

Thanks!
 

It was a LOT of work and time, did I mention time?

!NEW PICTURES!
 

Here are some much better "finished product" pictures. Enjoy!

can i see pics of the undercarrige and motor area? thanks

Photo Link
 

Truly beautiful! Amazing job!

Thank You!
 

Thanks! My last "piece to the puzzle" was the replacement of the rear "package tray" (from FMR) and changing the Galls round strobes to Whelen Dashmiser(s) to match the front mirror mount dual red/blue Dashmiser.

I was only keeping the Galls (rounds) as I did not want ANOTHER set of holes in the old package tray installing the Whelen's. I will upload a picture soon :D

Rear Deck Light(s): Picture
 

Whelen (self contained) Dashmiser(s) to match the dual red/blue Dashmiser on windshield.

Now that the lawns are green:)

Again, the car looks amazing. Has the Winter Park PD shown much interest in seeing the finished product? Being such a small community, and PD I would think they would love to see it.

Winterpark PD
 

Yes, they are "enthralled" by it. I just spoke today to the assistant chief, feet manager and patrolman who drove the vehicle. They are sending up a box of goodies consisting of hats, sweaters, t-shirts etc all with the Winterpark Police patch on them.

Nice "props" for future shows.
