Thanks:-)
And SWEEEEET !

Got rear bumper painted... Man I've never been a fan of the 90-92 GSP rear bumpers being twilight blue instead of ultra blue.... But that's the way they came soooo....

Now the buffing begins :-)

Still have to paint hood; trunk lid; fender extension etc... :-)

Ahhhh ok, as usual I'm sure it was a cost savings thing for the departments to not pay extra to have the bumpers painted to match.

I think South Carolina had a similar issue on their cars also. Greg (UNMRKD) can verify what it was as he's the go to guy on SC SSP's...

I guess for now I'll have to use the TMI upholstery kit I got last Christmas until I can get enough original material. I've got 3 sets of crystal blue seats but none are show quality. I guess I'd rather have the new incorrect seat covers as apposed to crappy ones on a otherwise nice car.

Any opinions on this matter?

I wondered why the MSP cars had the darker bumpers and never knew that the later GSP cars did too. Interesting bit of info. Great progress Bobby. I can't wait to see the '83 come back to life.
