I also have a 1972 Dodge Polara Custom, former TX DPS unit D2-976 that needs a total resto. My thinking with this 1990 LTD was to get a car done sooner. I used to ride with my best friend around 1995 he was still driving a 93 TXDPS SSP. It was a great car. I went to work for DPS in 1999 and left in 2011. Looking forward to taking part here. Thanks for the kind words.

Welcome! You're a member of CCdC, right? Don't worry - we would never hold that against anybody!

[I'm just kidding around with the above comment - we love CCdC!]

Yes I am over there too. The boards are totally opposite but I like them both. Thanks

Very Cool! My dad has a 72 CHP Polara that needs a restoration as well

Much easier to restore the CV, the Polara will take longer to make very nice

The Tx DPS car I would like to find someday would be a 81 Gran Fury or a Fox LTD(if they had them?).

Thanks all. I was a CVE (Commercial Vehicle Enforcement) Investigator.
