Back in the day my police department drove short wheel base 3500 series Chevy vans for prisoner transport vehicles. I have had the '77 Chevrolet van kit lying around for a decade or more now. Those now stupid looking fender flares always kept me from building it as a police "cruiser".

Well I got off my butt and here's where we sit as of today.







That's Duplicolor GM Light Metallic Blue with MM Clear gloss enamel.

Both the van and color look good.

Looking forward to seeing more of this one.

I've been working on this bit by bit. Chassis is complete and I just finished the interior. I had to make another mold to cast the radio and siren box, so that delayed the project for a while.

Beautiful work so far, G!


You keep cranking out these homeruns, and I'm gonna have to get back to the bench and finish some projects ~ ~ ~ just to keep up!

Excellent paint..

[Shardik]

Very nice weathering and detail painting on the chassis, and I aint even gonna talk about the dash detail!

[Agent G]

Thank You All!

This one is coming along nicely. I have "deplated" the rear bumper and am building the step we used from treadplate.

Looks good, what are you using for wheels?

Should be nice when it is done!

Looking good G, I was going to be joining you in the police car CBP, but I see you moved it here

Nice touch using the steering wheel from the whale kit, seats too?

[Agent G]

Mike I'm taking the wheelcovers from my Modelhaus '84 Impala and combining those with the kit wheels and tires. The Modelhaus bits are a nice vintage set of chrome wheelcovers close to what the real deal had.

Jonathan I have built so many 9C1 whales it would be a shame to NOT use the seats and wheel! These came from the SS I converted with GTO interior parts.

Oh man I look forward to seeing more of this. Looks great so far.

[Agent G]

Well wait no more!

I have been working on this, but it seems like everything gets done in one weekend.







The light bar was custom made for me almost 20 years ago. I bought 20 of them back then. They are still used!

G

A few more.

[Gluhead]

Nice.

[Agent G]

I can already hear it ... 'Don't tase me, Bro!'
Whooops. Wrong era.
Should be ... 'Don't mace me, Ace!'


That's NICE, G!!! Good job!


{eh, don't forget to register that rig before you put 'er on the road, or I'll have to impound 'er!}
