Just wanna say thanks to Jonathon and his Dad (Very nice people). It was a real pleasure meeting them.

Well got it stored away for now...top half of car, (cowl panel up/ no rust at all even on bottom side of cowl panel) is in really good shape (especially considering how bad the bottom is!) Should be able to make this work once I find a suitable donor chassis for this "Donor" car lol. Plans are to set upper section(roof; cowl balloon; outer rails and rear package tray) onto a solid donor coupe (same principle as used when shops turn coupes into fastbacks, only by including cowl balloon and outer rails I'll be keeping the parts of the car that are serialized and not just re-body ing the car).

Glad you finally got it Bobby! Hate I wasn't able to meet you. Maybe next time.

Did you get a chance to see the Powell's collection?

Yes I did, Very impressive to say the least! Wish I had that 91 GSP to go with my collection! Lol

Ok guys,
Any NYSP knowledge out there? Is this a unit # or just a property #? Just curious :-)
