I thought you guys might enjoy seeing my latest project, I bought this car from an old road race track, it was used as the trainer in the school that was at the track. I brought it home, cleaned and freshened things up enough to take it to the road coarse and a couple of autocross events and was having a blast. At the last autocross event, someone one walked up and said hey that must have been a cop car in the past! Duh, never even dawned on me that the spotlight holes indicated SSP car. I spent some time researching and found the Vin number in a group of cars that where in service in Nevada.
Sorry to all of you purists who would have turned it back into a Nevada car, I decided that CHP was more Iconic and would get a better reaction from people at the track. I repainted it California colors, have decals coming from M Squad, found spotlights and antennas and it will be off to the races by May. It has a complete plastic front end, so it will have decals for lights etc.
I plan on racing three different venues with it. The motor I am building is around 375 HP and I will spray it it with 150-250 of NOS for the drag-strip, And will just run off the motor for the road course and autocross. I am putting coil-overs all the way around and will adjust suspension with different weight coils and sway bar arrangements. My decals should be here and the exterior of the car should be done in about a month. I have attached pictures from when I bought the car and one right after I pulled it out of the paint booth.
By the way, the car is fondly named "The Turd" or Musturd, my friends say it is now a polished Turd with all of the work I am putting into it.
