Found my Build Sheet
 

As you all know, last Saturday I bought my '86 FHP SSP. Today Bernie FHP813 and I where taking the interrior out of the car and Bernie found the Build Sheet. It was located under the carpet behind the driver's seat. While it could not be salvaged it was very exciting to have found it.

Good deal. :)

Did you guys also look behind the rear trim panels? (just in case there is something else in there)

We have looked all over the car. The only part I am missing is on either side of the rear passenger seat. Bernie was surprised it had insulation, as his car did not have it. We also found where the roof antenna hole is and the hole for the light bar cable was.

We are very surprised the car is such a virgin for being 20 yrs old and handed down past 6 owners.

Very cool, already tearing into the car and barely had it a week.:thumbsup:

Sounds like you have a good one. It's pretty rare to find buildsheets, especially in the older cars.

Cool! Glad you found it.

Here is a link to the cars pictures.

Nice Pics!

Great job. Looks like my 85 CHP... Well minus the wheels.

Great find there too. I have never found a build sheet in any on mine.

You have a nice 85 CHP.

Thanks I appreciate it.
I have this, only do to our fearless leader here ImEvil1 (Mike) it is his former car. I bought it from him so he could purchase his 82 CHP. It all worked out very well.

I have a lot to do to it still but it will be coming along very well soon. I just need a few more items and some more $$$ in the car fund to get this car to paint.

I just got half of the set of new steels for this car so I can mount the Gatorbacks for shows.

You've got a great four-eyed SSP there! What a shame you Florida guys can't do full restorations on your state's own vehicles...now THAT'S a crime. :(

That's a myth.

In that case...bring them on! :thumbsup:

I think you are looking for a Unity spotlight and the one you are bidding on is wrong for the FHP.

You need one of these.

Thanks for the info. I placed a bid on these even though I won the others. Now I will ned to sell those.

No problem... I have a K length shaft if you end up needing one for one of those pair.

Matt

Thanks, I submitted a big but was outbidded. I will continue to bid but it has 4 days left. What do you think that set could sell for?

I have paid anywhere from $20.00 for one to $102.00 for three in parts.

Well I just got the car picked up at the house and taken to get painted. I will be posting pictures as it goes. For now here are the pick up pictures.

Good deal! Got towed?...we used to drive 'em that way to the body shop. Not strictly legal here but if you had a buddy following behind closely, you usually could get away with it as long as you weren't going halfway across the state. ;)

What kind of paint job are you getting?

fantastic !! glad to see the car is getting the resto it deserves.

Good deal. I told you that you were going to finish yours before mine.

Yeah, decided to have it towed to save me the time while I finished cleaning the garage and things around the house. Anyways that is why I have AAA, why not use them. The car will be getting the regular FHP Black and Tan. The shop told me 2 weeks but I am thinking a month. Expect the worst and hope for the best as I always said in the Marines. :Pirate09duel:

My office, at home, if full of the entire interior and the wheels. Once back I will be like a busy ant, all over the car. I am sure Bernie will help, he likes the rush. I would also like to thank him. He helped me with a new trunk and other parts that were needed. Thanks Bernie :thanks:

Marcos, the fun begins! You'll be at that body shop three times a day.:rollhappy: I hope they do a good job for you. Keep Bernie on his toes, make him work just don't give him the beer until the job is done.:D Good luck and keep us posted on the progress.

Marcos: No problem Bro! Glad it's going to paint.

Gregg: Ive seen this Guy's work up close, he does outstanding work.
He's painting my black car as soon as I get all my equipment together.
This is some of his work, and believe me the picture doesn't do it justice.

Looking good! The transformation back to the Florida colors should be quite dramatic. A 4-eye car really fits that combination, looking forward to seeing the results.

You can't drive the car unless you put in some fuel. :cheers:

Now THAT is funny!

Glad to see it heading to the shop, Marcos.:thumbsup:

At the shop
 

Here are some pics from today at the body shop.:thumbsup: The car is coming along and I was told that maybe by the end of the week it will be complete. I am not holding my breath.:nahnah:

It won't be long now!!!:2thumbs:

Great pics Marcos....waiting for more. :)

If all goes as stated it looks like the car will be ready for the paint department by Sat. at noon. The radiator core support has been straightened and fixed as good as possible and the engine compartment will be painted soon. I hope it does not take much longer, I am ready to get my hands on it. Here are the latest pictures.

Good progress, can't wait to see it finished.

Looks great! can't wait to see it completed.

Matt

I also added new pictures to the album.

Here are the latest photos. It has four layers of primer now and it will be blocked and re-primed and so on... I'm glad to finally see progress

Looking good... How much longer are they telling you now?

Matt

is it going back to black and tan?
