Welcome Sarge! This site will be a great resource for your restoration. I know you don't like the way your SSP looks now, but post some before photos to help us really appreciate the work you have ahead of you. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Thank you Bob, But it's UGLY ! There's not a dent, ding or rust anywhere but the paint colors, Ewwww. White with a metalic Green stripe. Maybe I'm biased because I have gone thru so many all white cars I'm starting to become snow blind. All the police cars I build for the movies are, you guessed it, WHITE ! I love adding the graphics just to hide much of that damn white. Let me think about it. maybe.

Welcome Sarge! I spoke with you on elightbars the other day.

Oh and, just go look at my thread about my latest ssp project in the members section and that should convince you to post pics. Your nhp can't look any worse....we all start from somewhere....my alabama car is in much worse shape than my FHP was but they can't all be perfect when we buy 'em....these guys here understand and can see what it will be, not what it currently is.

Cool

H Brad ! How are you? Small world. I'm looking forward to putting this in the paintbooth this summer. I had wanted to make the All Ford show at Carlisle, Pa but it wasn't meant to be. My SSP is really quite solid. I can't find one dent, ding or rust spot anywhere. It's just not the right color. But that will change, soon. Anyway here's a pic as she was sitting in the lot when I bought her. I also posted a pic of a speedometer calibration certification I found behind the glove box, The writing is very faded but I'm having a friend in the forensic lab try to recover it. It will make for a nice rare addition to the paperwork. Speaking of which if anyone has any paperwork related to the 93 SSP or specifically Nevada HP's that they would like to sell/share let me know. Copies or photographs are welcome until I can find originals.

She looks great Sarge!! Looks like a very solid car. I'm jealous, I love those NHP's!

Are you planning on coming to the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang show in Charlotte next year in April?

AWESOME EVENT !!!! I just looked over the event website and while its not yet complete it does offer a glimpse of things to come. Funny it mentions the fact that there will never be an event like this until the 100TH Anniversary in 2064 and that those attendees that are 15 years old will be 65 at the next one !! My son will be one of them, he can't wait.
