Two cars at the same time! Is that a forum first?

There hasn't been a lot of progress in the past few days (The shop has been super busy) but I figured I would share some pics with you.

Not only do we get to restore SSPs but we also get to Service, Drive and Play with current SSPs.

Hope that soon I can post some pics of old and new sitting side by side. Well They are side by side now (the Mustangs are still in progress) but with any luck we will have some really cool pics to share soon.

We still have the 86 Tx DPS sitting and waiting for some love. We could have 3 going at one time very easily. It does have more damage than the 87 but after the experience that we got it doesn't seem that bad.

This Car was wrecked in service with only 67,000 miles, still sports its original black and white paint and has never been registered to a civilian until now. It has been stripped and is ready and waiting....

I bet your tired of your shop floor being wet from these past couple days. :/ What do the Police officers say when they see the stangs?

I looked at this car and a LHP yesterday in person and these guys are doing great work. Replacement panels were installed correctly ,spot weld looked like factory spot welds and not a welded up mess. Congrats guys on a job well done. Keep up the great work!

They are all very eager to see the finished product but there are a few that are car guys that have helped work on it from time to time. In fact one of the officers wanted the car for his own and wanted to use it for off duty work. At least I have someone that can legally drive code 3 with no problems and I'm sure he will get right to it as soon as we have it all together. We are very fortunate to have the relationships that we do with these guys.

We have had a Trooper stop in after seeing the 88 sitting outside with the light bar on it and told all his stories from when drove his.

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 12:35 PM.
