1992 GSP unit 2217

Finally getting started on my newest GSP project! I'm really excited about this one... First, I gotta Square up frame rails (from old accident). I'm replacing both fender aprons and cowl vent on her. I'm also going to address the only rust issue, which is on door posts. Getting new seat upholstery and carpet for Christmas! You can still make out the unit # and Officer badge # on roof. Car #2217 badge # 606. A friend of mine is gonna try to find out the Officer's name that drove this car (maybe make contact if possible).

Made a little progress in the last couple days. Got donor core support and cowl on. Just need to finish and clean it all up now. Next I'll be tackling the only rust issue ( the door post up above upper hinge).

Was a great day for unit #2217 . Not much done as far as bodywork goes but I now have it's history. Made contact with Sgt. Kevin Thompson badge #606. That number is still visible on roof. Sgt. Thompson is now the GSP Aviation Commander and remembers this car fondly. I was told some very interesting stories about his favorite Mustang ( he also drove an 88 prior to this 92). Hopefully he can find his old in service pics and provide me with copies :-) ... We can't wait for they're reunion.

Congratulations...it's exciting to make contact with the Trooper who was assigned to SSP.

Bobby, that is REALLY cool that you were able to talk with the Trooper assigned to your GA SSP! :cool: Can you explain how you were able to track him down?

Well, put it this way the car was involved in 3 accidents while in service... It was used the way it was intended :-) But I don't think I should post any of that with out His permission...
