Danno Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 that always seemed odd to me, first they knock your teeth in trying to get you on the ground then the try to put thier knee through your kidneys, trying to keep you on the ground after that they try to dislocate both you your shoulders getting the cuffs on you but when you get to the backseat all of a sudden its "watch yer head" What on earth were you doing to earn all that 'special handling?'

diymirage Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 well, got a little work done today basically finished up the chassis and put some wires on the engine finished up the rear end (just need to do some more work on the wheel wells to allow the wheels to turn) and also made the mounting points (read "drilled two holes") for the front wheels looks like this is where she will sit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Ok, I'm going to jump in with a 1948 U.S. Forest Service "Green Hornet" fire engine. I was lucky enough to get to check out this 1-1 example a few years ago. After it's service with the USFS it was transferred to a volunteer fire department that still owns it and uses it as a parade piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janne Herajärvi Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Great looking Ford Pali. I think http://www.policecarmodels.com/ is one of best places to get Police etc stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Ok, two days in and I'm already stripping paint. I opened up the wheel wells 1-2mm to fit the larger wheels, but when I painted the cab & fenders... well it just didn't go well. I've mostly drawn up the design for the pumper body, so at least I've got something to work on while the purple stuff does its job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diymirage Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 slapped some paint on her yesterday (also did a ton of little detail work and the exhaust is drying as we speak) paint on the body is rust-oleum classic white over grey primer i wasnt sure when i bought this paint, it almost looked to yellow in the store but once it dried on the body it looked perfectly like what i had in mind as usual, i didnt check the tachometer for windshield clearance when i installed it so this will be the last you'll see of that tach in this build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorvairJim Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I finally got around to taking a picture of where I stand on the progress on my '66 Cadillac Ambulance-based camper. Pretty obviously, I had to do a TON of scratchbuilding for the camper body on the thing, but it's been fun so far. The chassis has beenheavily modified to support the body as well. Now I need to outfit the interior, since the roof lifts off to display it. The scratchbuilt A/C unit will be the handle to grab onto to lift the roof off. (I've also included a photo of the actual vehicle that inspired my build) While I was at it, I dug up and dusted off another build I have going based on the same old Jo-Han kit. This one is about as different from a camper as you can get and still base it on the same model: It's a chopped, blown, Pro Street Hearse!

Airfilter Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I finished the Chevy. I repainted the body, and I added a new decals. Quick and easy restoration was. Pali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
