I have a Monogram Superbee kit laying around ,,maybe I can use stuff from that

From what I've read it was the #1 all time best police cruiser,,supposedly hit 145+ mph on the proving ground

I got the kit from Madman today,,,,positives> the body is beautiful ,came with 2 grille options (one with the "Superlight" and 2 bumper options ,with and without bumperettes ,interior looks good ,engine and wheels ok,,,the bad>>> the chassis pan is a cross between a pro touring or something GM'ish with coil over shocks and full upper and lower control arms,,,no torsion bars or struts or something that would resemble the "C" body front stub frame with a "K" member ,,,so I'll have to deal with that ,,being 1/24th maybe I can pirate some stuff from a Monogram Mopar kit .Other than that it will be my future California Highway Patrol build with steelies and dogdish caps,,I already have some CHP decals. Any other ideas on the front suspension I'm open for comments .The kits rear leaf springs are ok and something that sorta try's to look like an 8-3/4 ,,,lol

Thanks Francis! My Dad had a 64 Travelall and 2 69 Scouts along with his 70 Fleetstar/Holmes 600 wrecker ,,,so I have a soft spot for Cornbinders ! I should have the Polara by the end of the week,,I'll start a thread for the build when I get it . Working part time has cut into my bench time,,,but I like the $$ ,,,,lol

Hardly any Francis ,,,just a few spots where the supports were ...very high quality print job,,,I ordered another kit from him,a 1969 Dodge Polara 4dr ,,,for a CHP cruiser I'm going to do

Vegas Blue Iridescent, a 1962 IH truck color

Waiting for some stuff from Joe at Fireball for the Dart so I started on this 62 IH Travelall 3D print from Madman Models I picked up on ebay awhile back ,,just shot the color today ,,,thinking either a few different shades of gray or a combo blue/gray for the interior ,Very nice quality 3D print job with a detailed 345 V8

Nice! I built that kit when it 1st came out,,,one of the best truck kits of it's time IMHO

Nice !

I have a set from Chris but used a set I had STS make ,the STS set had the white panel and were a bit more defined

..........decal,,just on the C pillar and along the roof drip rail

This is an inbetweener of an inbetweener of contemplating my next big truck build,lol . Charlie Castaldo's 68 LO23 Dart ,paint is done now on to BMF

Lee,,that was/is a great kit ! From what I understand those molds got lost. I found mine on ebay too ,,,I should have shortened the wheelbase up a tad though .You'll make her sweet ,,,nice project!

Hang in there Gary , styrene therapy is good for the heart !

Nice progress Brian,,the dash looks great

AFV

..........she's done,,,,under glass

Finished her up,,a tired old Monogram 80's kit with poor body proportions given a little transformation ,added wheel opening moldings,,the Fireball tires and steelies with some old Kitbash Corner dog dish caps helped a lot .I should have deleted the sunroof ,,but all in all came out better than expected . Another small build coming up,,,an all 3D print job ,,gotta clean up the bench 1st

...........actually you coulda put the Western Star logo's on the spring hangers,,,but I'll let ya slide .... "wink" awesome work pal

She looks dead nuts on Brian,,,, my hats off to ya ,,,sweating the small stuff will drive ya looney ! lol!

Yes ,,the grille is nice but it does not have the "PLYMOUTH" on it

I found the grille and hood on Ebay, I'm using Fireballs steelies with dogdish caps and his BFG All Terrain T/A's

It's real rubber,mudflap material ,I think I got it from Sour Krauts

I almost bought one in 76 ,,,,got a K5 Blazer instead and I'm a Mopar guy,,,lol

Thanks Dom! I have a Somerset Fire and Rescue in the idea bin right now,,my son Jeff is a Lt in the dept. Apparatus | Somerset Fire
