SSP Progress in 2010

[28HopUp]

Good idea Mike!

Most of the progress on CHP #8395 was done in 2009. I spent this year enjoying the car behind the wheel.

I have successfully found much of the original radio equipment, shotgun rack, first aid kit, animal snare clips. But in some cases I have only found a close substitute for what was actually installed. Case in point - the microphone I rec'd is not the right type. Also, the shotgun rack, albeit a CHP unit, isn't exact for my 4-eye SSP. So some modifications will be needed. That's not to say that I cannot install the correct pieces as they are found, so I plan to install the equipment this winter. I doubt that I will ever be "done" with this car. Even once the CHP restoration is finished (short of B&W paint and permanent marking the car), there will always be stuff to do with the car itself. As I continue to drive it, things will wear out. I know that rebuilding the motor will lead to detailing the engine compartment. One thing always leads to another it seems. But I'm having fun!
