Darn Missouri troopers are always doing something strange. :lol:

I heard the MSHP decided that these would be worth more sold outright after their police careers were over. They felt the cars would bring more money with something other than gray/black interiors.

*edit for clarification*

MSHP always and still rotates cars at 85,000 miles. Other police agencies get first dibs on the "used cars", all except these.

They maybe coulda got even more in resale if they had run them with gold Daytons and dingleberries around the windows.

Wait no more Austin.

Here's the real deal, it's an '89 but you get the idea.

Here's where I'm at. I used the radio/siren box from a Lindbergh CV. The K55 radar is scratchbuilt.

This will give an idea how it will look.

That looks awesome! Are you sure radar gun will clear the windshield?

I was sure, until you mentioned that.

Apparently all my mockups failed to disclose the fact that once everything is glued up, it didn't work. :blink:

It fits now.......................................... :mellow:

Thank you sir!
