Ron Hamilton Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I was watching " Men in Black" today on tv, and I thought of this kit. I can't wait to see some of these built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also did the Galaxie 500 full wheelcovers in chrome, which I used on my build in lieu of the dog dish hubcaps and steelies that came with the transkit. The original Men in Black LTD Crown Victoria is the variation of this kit that Dwayne has created when he did this car. It should be forthcoming.

I am. The 79-87 version is one of about four I work on in rotation. I had used an existing resin copy of the 91 CVPI and already made the trunk and rear valance modifications, and I have started on the front header panel. The first one being the 79-82 one headlight LTD-S version. When that's done I'll do the 83-79 version. That one is the version used in the MIB shows I recall. And also in Dan Aykroyd's version of Dragnet in 1987 as well. The one he drove so slow he tikked off Tom Hanks Strebeck character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to get one of these and turn it into a Crown Victoria with the 1/2 Vinyl Roof, alloy wheels and whitewalls in Triple black. A good friend of mine had a 2 Door in that color combination. I like that series of Ford very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that series of Ford very much. Hopefully all three versions will be done by end of year. As mentioned before I bought and sold late model used police cars from 1982 to well, now, really. But in total earnest until 2005. I had a partner in Denham Springs near Baton Rouge and he could sell as many as quick as I could get them to him. As a result, I bought and sold personally several in each of those years and the Ford Crown Vic or LTD was my fav of the lot though I bought all of the Big 3's police offerings at one time or other. The following are the thre main differences in the grilles that occurred from 1979-1987 until the version represented by our current 88-91 LTD Crown Victoria kit. The first single headlight grille one is 75% complete, the second header is identical from 1979-87 with only a change in grille marked by the year seperations (and two different versions of Tailights as well) The last one shown the 83 LTD CVPI was my fav of about six i bought and sold into mostly taxi slavery. I really loved that body-style and color keyed rims as well. First The 1979-1982 LTD-S and base LTD.. Next the 79-82 Quad Lamp LTD Crown Victoria with the small crosshatch grille. And finally the last version the 83-87 LTD Crown Victoria with the larger open square grille. I'm sure there's a technical name I just don't know it. Ford-Junkie that I am. This was my favorite of the 83-87 versions, an 83 from the LSP I got in 1986 with 80K miles. I could cry for wishin' I still had it. I had some of the 82 versions in pic 2 as well, but the 83's were 'fancier' and just looked better IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Wann Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Through Dwayne or I . I have a lot of catching up to do. I am in need of making a new chassis mold. It is really holding up progress. I can't get a good one to come out. Also I am back to work at my job so I don't get to spend all day there making parts. I do have another guy in training to help me out, that should help some. He is a professional model builder and he lives close to me too. I am also working on other projects as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

am73grand Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Here's on I'm working on. The lightbar is just sitting there. I swapped out the kit hubcaps for an aluminum set from Parts by Parks. It's almost done. I'll post pics in the under glass section when it's finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
