Great find on the buildsheet.

Looks like your Dad really hooked you up on the CHP equipment, too. It has taken us years to find some of that stuff.

Nice score on the build sheet! :thumbsup:

Thanks guys:)
It has taken my dad years to find equipment too, and he has 4 more CHP mustangs along with over 20 other CHP cars to find equipment for. My dad basically has a complete equipment set for one or 2 cars(I don't know exactly, he may have more special stuff). We will have to have one car all equiped, then when another car is to go to a show(once restored), we will just swap all the main equipment in (wires will already be run). That is how we will deal with the equipment shortage:thumbsup:

I just set a Caprice spot through the hole to see what my car would look like with one.

Taking out the after market radio took 1 or 2 hours, it would just not come out. But it was worth it:) I need to find out how it was mounted.

The only speaker in the dash. It is Ford, and wasnt hooked up to the aftermarket radio.

Great artifact find! :thumbsup:

The spray paint cans and hand cleaner appear to be locally purchased supplies.

Sam, does the smaller plastic bottle look like it could be a rubbing alcohol bottle? Also, can you type out all the markings that appear on the larger bottle?

If it's still intact, I'd use the base of the trunk box to build up a new one on.

What a present! Glad you got it. Keep the progress pics coming.

The taller bottle has no writing on it. Might be rubbing alcohol, havent opened it up to see.
The stubbier bottle might be water(?). The brand is McGaw, and there is a liquid amount scale on the other side (up to 500 mililiters).
That is my plan with the box, other wise I will get measurements for the compartments off another box and what I have to make a new one (with same wood and staples).
