The roof had a really poor bondo job done on it, and was really cracked. I ended up having it completely stripped down to metal, and then repaired.

Hard to see - but the cracking on the roof was massive!

Roof stripped:

That pile of dust there against the wall - used to be my roof bondo:

Once finished - looks good now:

With the help of Robert, took a set of good WSP 10 holes and repainted them to a newer coat of black. And then masked the car to paint the mouldings back to black as well:

Paint going on (Robert manning the can):

Found the correct Unity H10300 dual light spotlight and installed it along with a Jetsonic, Unitrol 480K, GE S550 control head + radio, rollbar, etc.

Decals were recreated based off of measurements from Robert's car (where you could still see the clearcoat outlines), and from images that we gathered from photos over the years. Orange pinstripe was applied (same as on the in-service car).

Here you can see mine (Left) along with Robert's red (right) and blue slicktop PCSD car:

I love those Pierce County SD SSPs...hope to see one in person some day. Great job to both of you.

Outstanding work guys. The cars look great keep up the good work. The blue unit looks especially nice.

Yes, yes it does. Helps that the former owner took really good care of it.

I see it every few weeks, and am still envious of it.

Thanks for the pictures Ryan. Those PCSD cars are so nice looking! So is Robert's car the one that has a cage/divider in it? That's a neat little feature seldom-seen in an SSP.
