1988 Pierce County Sheriff Dept #1310

In Ohio en route to Jim's I had near white-out conditions due to snow. The interstate started to load up but it quickly melted. By the time I got to Georgia the truck was looking pretty bad because of the road salt. I got that all washed off once I returned home.

I spoke with the "museum" this morning, and asked about my radio equipment and magnetic markings. I think it slipped their minds to ship it all to me, but I was assured that the box would go out to me this week. I will be happy once all of these items are received from them.

Well, the attached photo proves that Bobby can paint a car in a color that is not used by the GSP!

The parts shown only have the base coat applied - no clear yet. The hood in the background is the one that I picked up from Jim. That is all for now.

More photos from Bobby. The body should be in red before too long!

So I now have a FedEx tracking number for the box of radio equipment and magnetic markings from the museum. FINALLY! I will be very relieved once that arrives.

I plan to rent a U-Haul open trailer locally and drive down with my F150 to get it at some point in February. Local rentals are quite a bit cheaper than one-way rentals. Once home, I will bump the 94 Cobra out of the garage and keep the SSP safely tucked inside.

Thank you, Jim. Your old hood looks like it came out nicely. I can't wait to see it (and the rest of the car) in person. And yes, I am keeping the MCA Show in Niagara this summer in my sights (the MCA Show in Myrtle Beach, too).

Finally! The equipment and markings arrived this week from the "museum". The only item that is MIA is the unit number "1310" magnet, which was not the correct size anyway. I have a buddy who owns a sign shop, and I will have him recreate the unit number along with the scroll work under the side molding.

I think I will need to lean on Rhino to figure out the proper placement of the radio equipment.
