Wow! Fantastic work! Were you able to put the fender tags back on it? Love seeing this kind of progress. That's what this car deserved. Can't wait for a giant TX-DPS mustang meetup.

Yes, the fender tags are still on the car. We didnt have to remove them to replace the fender aprons. The buck tags are put up for now but will be put back as well.

And then there were 2! Finally got a coat of primer on the 87 Tx DPS and set it next to Teds (texunters) 89 LSP. Turned out to be a great weekend!! Moving right along!

Two cars at the same time! Is that a forum first?

Talking

There hasn't been a lot of progress in the past few days (The shop has been super busy) but I figured I would share some pics with you.

Not only do we get to restore SSPs but we also get to Service, Drive and Play with current SSPs.

Hope that soon I can post some pics of old and new sitting side by side. Well They are side by side now (the Mustangs are still in progress) but with any luck we will have some really cool pics to share soon.

We still have the 86 Tx DPS sitting and waiting for some love. We could have 3 going at one time very easily. It does have more damage than the 87 but after the experience that we got it doesn't seem that bad.

This Car was wrecked in service with only 67,000 miles, still sports its original black and white paint and has never been registered to a civilian until now. It has been stripped and is ready and waiting....

I bet your tired of your shop floor being wet from these past couple days. :/ What do the Police officers say when they see the stangs?
