I spent some time going through my picture folder, and updating my Fotki album, as seen here -

http://public.fotki.com/28HopUp/1985-chp-e408383-smpv/


I added comments as needed under many of the photos. Some of them dart in and out of being chronologically correct, but it shows the general progress of the car so far. I also changed the link in my signature to take you to the Fotki album. I expect to take more picture once the car comes home, and then also of the 1985 GT parts car I bought from Rich/CHP8336.

Mike, the CHP took the car out of patrol duty and repainted it white, except for the lower portion of both bumpers which they left black. Here is an in-service picture of my car -

Default It's Finally Back Home!

Kris dropped off the SMPV last night. That's the 85 GT parts car next to it. It's nice to have the SMPV back, although I find it ironic that the two worst cars I own are parked INSIDE, while the better iron sits in the driveway exposed to the elements. I won't complain, since many of my neighbors cannot fit a single car in their garages because they are filled with junk.

The weather is turning sour this week, but I will take more pictures over the next few days as time and sunlight allow.

Yep, I can relate to that! I found myself in the same position while working on my SSP. Worse yet, a freak hailstorm, the likes never seen along the coast where I was living, hit while my other rides sat unprotected outside! Luckily no damage to anything but what a heart attack to get awaken in the middle of the night with that event.

Woohoo! She's not "out of sight, out of mind" anymore Bill!

J/K, glad she's back under your roof now. Keep the pics coming!

It's nice having the car back. I uploaded more photos in Fotki album, which is linked in my signagture. Worth noting is the following picture of the CHP decals I recently purchased from John -




These really look great! Thank you, sir!

I also wanted to post a photo of the parts car, which I bought from Rich as noted earlier in this thread -




The restoration of the SMPV will be much easier with the parts car! And finally, a picture of the two cars after driving them back into the garage -

Default OLD TREAD ALERT!

I wanted to provide an update on this unique SSP. A few years ago, I sold it and the 85 GT parts car to Jim/NoDrama. It was again sold to a gentleman in Arkansas, who was not active on the forum or social media. He now is comfortable posting about the car on FB, and intends to restore it to its former glory. I hope he joins here so he can update this thread as the project moves forward.
