Rich,

I think it's great that you were able to connect with Mr. Read on the CHP equipment and installation. That will be a great fun car once it is done. And the fact that you have so much CHP documentation and personal history with that car makes the restoration even more special. Looking forward to seeing pics...

Congrats my Amigo!

Fun news...thanks for sharing.

That is awesome news Rich; be sure to keep us in the loop with lots of pics....You know we all love pictures of progress. :2thumbs:

I bought a ton of stuff from Rob as well - got it all ready now just need the car! lol!

Robert Read was happy to see the car show up at his house in the condition it is in.He said it is rare that a 85 is in this shape.After looking at his black and white camaro we decided to go 100% in service car(except the running gear), colors included.I was going to keep it all black but for me it makes more sence to paint it correct CHP colors because the car will only go to Ford and Police shows on a trailer.I also am a former member of the Nor Cal Shelby American club.The car has a big history since I have owned it since 9-1-1987.Robert is going to put the pics on a cd so we can all view.I am working on my end with body shops on getting the car painted.I hope to have the car painted in about a month or so.It should not take them very long in the body shop because there is no body work to be done just paint.

Restoration Pics #1
 

Here are a few pics of the correct CHP equipment as it is being installed in my car. The car sure looks different already.

Very nice....good to see another one being restored with the proper equipment.

Looking like a CHP car again. Clearly on its way back to work.

Looking good, Rich. I love the 4 eyed CHP's.
