Andrew D the Jolly Roger Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 CB radio work. Found one scene in the series supposedly showing the radio in Boss's Caddy. Mounted on a metal bracket. Made the bracket and the support arm from strips cut from a soda can. The rest is scratchbuilt from plastic and fine copper wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Looking good, nice save on the steering wheel, and the CB really looks the part. I like your liquid masking/cutting trick. I use liquid mask all the time, except I trim out edges with ultra fine masking then use the liquid mask to fill in tough areas that would be next to impossible to use masking tape. I'll have to try your method, thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew D the Jolly Roger Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Finally got around to finishing. The classic/iconic steer horns on the roof was the last item to scratchbuild. Here's how I did it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeE Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Is that a fuse with wire thru it? Awesome idea, great build.70's hard to find, and nicest Caddy build I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew D the Jolly Roger Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Discovered my guess at the CB setup was spot-on! And, what they show in the photo I posted above back in July apparently truly is the actual CB set used in the actual car; look at the support legs underneath it propping it up....found it in a scene from an episode in which the criminals were disabling everyone's CB's....
