lizardlust Posted February 12, 2010 Thought it was high time to post some of my meager efforts here! This is Revell's wonderful Caprice Snap Kit. The lightbar was liberated from an AMT/Ertl Taurus police car kit. Finish is a combination of PlastiKote and Duplicolor with old Chimneyville decals and Duplicolor clear coats. Basic plumbing and wiring under the hood, scratched antennas from piano wire stock and turned sprue bases, and a pinned and repositioned kit spotlight round it out.

Guest Posted February 12, 2010 Pretty nice for a "meager" effort! Beeyouteeful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whale392 Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) I remember seeing those in my rearview quite regularly (back when I was in Gods Waiting Room!). Great build of an all-to-familiar and, believe it or not, wanting to see again subject (Ohio snow, cold, and taxes are driving me back home to Florida). What color did you use for the Creme on this build? I know Florida had this color spec'd for them. I am building (term used loosely of course) a 1991 Mustang LX FHP SSP right now, and have the original color codes in my stash of info somewhere. If dupli-color or Plasti-cote has something close, I could use that instead. Thanks in advance. Edited February 12, 2010 by whale392 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn Tillotson Posted February 12, 2010 Great use of the high performance goodyear hoses. I know allot of Impala guys use them but they only look right on patrol cars! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murphy's Law Posted February 12, 2010 Super clean build! Saw lots of those while living in Florida (and working as a deputy down there) and your's is spot on. @whale - You might find this site helpful: SSP Mustangs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whale392 Posted February 12, 2010 I frequent that site Chris......love the FHP SSP's. I do greatly thank you for the link, just in case I didn't know about it. Maybe we should transfer the link to the 1:1 references for others to use in their builds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilrathy10 Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) That's a great looking police car....I remember when those first came out.....Most of us were like, "What the heck is that??"...Definitely, resembled a boat more than a police car..... After they did away with the rear wheel well covers, they started to get some respect, though.......Nice trip down memory lane, for me.....Thanks, Man...

om617 Posted May 15, 2014 Very nice. Did these cars use the same engine as the Impala SS btw ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
migace Posted May 15, 2014 Revell actually made the 5.7L old TBI setup. The SS kit had the correct LT1 motor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agent G Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Very nice. Did these cars use the same engine as the Impala SS btw ? Starting in '94 the LT 1 was available as an option in the Caprice 9C1 package. That was a great copcar. This topic was originally posted before I came onto this site. Great build! G Edited May 16, 2014 by Agent G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
