Default FHP 0381

Found the Sgt. (now an LT) over my car in Pencicola, Fl. Still dont know the trooper(s).

Found all radar & radio, period correct for the car. installed

Hard decaled the FHP.

Had a set of 10 holes powder coated

Drove it some 5,000 miles all over the US for shows (Mustang, OK, Indy, Asheville, NC, Colorado, Arkansas (2 twice) now sports 115,000 miles on car.

Bought a 91 Santa Clara SSP, shown twice at shows, garaged ,found all correct lights (back deck) not installed yet

I obtained my first SSP...my 1982 CHP! I'm stoked to have one of the originals and have spent the year researching as much as I can. I'm waiting for the results from my application to the DMV for a history search. I started my equipment acquisition with an NOS Unitrol 131 headlight flasher, an item I figured would be the most difficult to obtain. She came with CHP spotlights and ball antenna mount that had been obtained by the previous owner. She needs a complete interior restoration and some wear items underneath, which is to be expected. It will be a labor of love spread out over several years with my tight budget.

In 2010 I aquired the 91 GSP, 92 Michigan, 90 Colorado, and 83 FHP cars which finished my collection. I also spent considerable time in the garagemahall building parts rooms, framing and running electrical wires, insulating and drywalling the storage/showroom area. Also located/purchased equipment for several different cars. Pulled the drivetrain from the 85 TXDPS and completed the total dissasembly process so it is ready to go to the paint man whenever I get around to it. Lastly I almost have the 93 FHP black unmarked car completed.

I don't have much time right now to work on cars as I am completing my masters degree, and working lots of overtime.

Cool , Mike..

My Colorado SSP came out of storage after selling my USPS car mid year..Had the delaminated hood painted , powder coated wheels , new tires , clay / buff job .. buffed all the lights.

The biggest thing in 010 for us was attending the Colorado State Patrol event with the SSP and having Major Bratt present me the decal permission that took several months to get ok'd.
The CSP event was also our first ever police event/show to ever attend, this was also done with the great company of my 2 young boys.
Since the event our focus is on the police equip needed to get her back looking like a real CSP.
