Default Winterpark SSP-Update

http://public.fotki.com/da35114/1993-mustang-ssp/

Hey Guys,

The attatched link shows progress to the Winterpark SSP. As I plan on making this a "Barrett Jackson" type car I had decided to fix the roof and cowl panel.

The roof had 4 holes total, 2 which were "plugged" one which had a second 800 mghz antenna and one that was actually used for the light bar wiring. I had all of them properly filled with the exception of the one used for the lightbar wiring primed, block sanded, painted wet sanded and buffed.

The cowl was fixed by a previous owner and was done well. I chose to fix a couple of blemishes while it was at the shop. (Previously Winterpark PD cut into the cowl panel, rather "hacked" into it and put a cooling fan. I am bringing back to the in-service livery look but I think I am passing on cutting into the cowl with a hacksaw

The moldings which wrapped the "brochure car" were originally white and are being painted accordingly.

Lastly, I am have replaced the Federal Signal "Vector" Bar with a Federal Signal "Jetstrobe" bar that was actually on the Winterpark Police cars. This lightbar is GREAT, 10 strobes, alleys and takedowns. It is wrapped in all new lenses and looks fantastic. I will upload pictures after it is mounted.

That looks awesome... Great job on bringing it back to Winterpark livery! I like the stripes. DO you have any pictures posted to show of "In Service" from them?

Thanks,
Matt

I actually do. I have the picture form Graphic Imagination (FLA) whom took a picture of the vehicle after they decaled it and before the light bar install. The officer whom actually drove this vehicle sent me this email:

Barry,

That's great! Car is looking good, and finding the officer that drove it is awesome (I edited both email addresses...lots of bots/scammers out there). Can't wait to see the finished product.

Beautiful car! I wonder how many people have actually found the officer that drove their car. Very nice!
