GSP 1238 "Project Slick Top"
 

As some of you already know, I recently sold FHP 1537 and bought GSP 1238 from a member. Bobby (kapracing) was able to determine that 1238 was originally a slick top unit and to date....the only known, confirmed slick top of the aero GSP's.

So, without wasting much time, I carried 1238 to Bobby to begin the transformation back to slick top. He'll be removing the lightbar, filling the lightbar cable hole and repainting the roof. This car has 3 antennas installed on the drivers quarter. 1238 didn't have any antennas on the drivers quarter while in service so Bobby will be filling those holes also and repainting that quarter.

After the Savannah show, my plans are for Bobby to repaint the remaining ultra blue panels and she'll be pretty much complete. A lot of the hard work on the rest of the car like interior/undercarriage/underhood was already done by Russ, the previous owner. I'm just completing the process.

Nice goin', Brad! That will be sharp once complete. :thumbsup:

Thanks Bill! She's close, just need to nudge her across the finish line! :thumbsup:

On her way back...

Pic two...

Roof hole completely welded up... Slow and steady with no warpage... Now just the small indentions left from the light bar feet being to far inboard... Asides from the hole and very slight indentions mentioned above, the roof is really straight... Next will be moving onto the three holes in quarter panel... More pics. To follow...

Nice work....and it sure will be a pretty interesting car.

:thumbsup:
