When we get back to Boise the car will have all the marking's on and be ready for
the show season..... you make a good point Roman in that private (not public) money spent on this project But...people First have to read the sign! My car will be a California car in Idaho so I am almost sure that people will read what ever is on the board/display just because of the (what the Hell) is this about factor? This is probably one of the most fun automotive projects i have done in a while! and I agree with you as you have said in the past.....these cars look great even not restored! I like Michael's Sign it's simple. |

I like your sign Roman, esp. the last paragraph. I bet that answers a lot of questions before they get asked! I'm going to incorporate something like that on my updated sign for this show season.

Roman...i also like your sign....I am in Idaho with a CA. car so no one is gonna get sideways about the car being here in Idaho......that's what I think?
but we will see the first show E.V.E.R WILL BE IN TWO WEEKS! this is what my thingy will say! 1985 SSP Mustang Former California Highway Patrol Car restored....... as driven (in service) Special Service Mustangs, also referred to as SSPs were made from 1982-1993. The California Highway Patrol started things off in 1982 by requesting a porpoise built Mustang for testing and evaluation as a Highway Patrol Pursuit car that was durable, reliable oh and fast enough to catch the speeders The California Highway Patrol started using these Mustangs in 82 and continued through to 1993 when Ford Stopped producing the SSP. Some State and local law enforcement agency's that ordered these cars Include but not limited to Idaho-Texas- Florida -Arizona- Utah Also some were used by the Federal Government including but not limited to the United States Postal Service for under cover postal inspector use?... For more information on SSP Mustangs and their complete and accurate history please visit...the the SSP Mustang's web site..............http://www.SpecialServiceMustang.net |

Thanks! I went thru many drafts and prototype signs to get what I have now. I borrowed a little bit from others and I wrote most of it on my own.
This sign is made of that corrugated plastic with black decal letters. Total cost $20.00 at Advance Screen Graphics - Lufkin, Texas.

I think that places like Kinkos can put the words on a board if you bring them a cd with what you want on it. But I am no computer expert or anything...
