Bill,
Is there anything unusual about the antenna placement on your car (ie the repaired holes)?

Mike, The repaired holes appear to be in the proper place for a black & white CHP. Once I pull down the headliner I'll be able to see the roof patch from the underside. Other than my unit number being written on the side glass, the most unusual thing about my car is that the window trim is all blacked out. Bill Jr.

UPDATE:
I have determined that E408395 was not a SMPV. The silver paint was the one applied by the CHP prior to auction, and the darker gray must have been applied by a subsequent owner. After receiving a suggestion, I checked a spot on the door inside of the jam area and lifted a section of the topcoat. The backside of that dark gray chip was silver. Although I had done a similar thing to other parts of my door which didn't show the silver, that area proves to me that the car was ALL silver at one time. So the car was not a SMPV. That revelation is not a disappointment. I can now proceed with my plans to repaint the car without worrying about it possibly being a SMPV.

Paint
How are you going to paint it? B&W? Another color?

I don't want to restore it to in-service condition. Now that I know it's not a SMPV, I can paint it any stinkin' color I want!  Seriously, I would probably go with black or another shade of gray. My wife isn't 100% happy with me bringing home another project, so the smart money is on me picking a color that she likes!
