  1. My 2005 Lincoln Town Car was the best. Bought it new as a retirement present from me to me and just traded it last August. Most fun? Probably the Lincoln's replacement, a 2017 Nissan Altima 3.5SL. I have never been a car guy, most of my time /money was spent with motorcycles. G
  2. Looking really good. St Louis County PD used these as patrol cars and I drove one in the St Louis City PD Traffic Division. I remember it having a 400 ci engine with a weird air cleaner set up. The air cleaner had two horns onto which were attached hoses that for all the world looked like black dryer vent tubing. They ran to the grill and terminated into plastic square cone shaped fittings. All this channeled the air flow from either side of the mid headlights to the engine. Sounded like a F4 taking off when you punched it. G
  3. No paczki goes unpunished in this household. G
  4. Looking real good. Mount that light bar farther back on the roof. Line up the B pillar with the rear edge of the rotators. In real life it gave more clearance for taller officers getting in and out of the car. Trust me on this, you get in and out a lot. G
  5. I got this image off the web, but, this is what my '03 Ram 1500 looked like. Ex #2 took it in the divorce then wrecked it. I miss that truck. G
  6. Thank you. I used Mig pigments and some oil paints. The wheels are strictly pigments and I layered the oils on the hull. G
  7. This is the Rye Field kit I built earlier this year. I dug up the commander from my spares box. I painted her to look like Tiger #142 in Tunisia early in 1943. This tank met her fate by being blown up by the US Army. The real #142. The end. Actual color photos that appeared in Life magazine. G
  8. The original issue "A Team" van had those hub caps included. I'm thinking the AMT "Chevy Rescue Van" kit might have them as well. G
  9. Good night Chesty wherever you are. Semper Fidelis G
  10. I would think this was the inspiration. High heels included.
  11. If you are speaking of the Trumpeter kit, that's a modern vehicle. That said, it would be used to transport any large armored vehicle be it tracked or with wheels. If your talking the WWII L 900, then I'd say anything that they could get up onto that bed could be carried. G
  12. May here. Most likely at The Orleans. DSC is a possibility for me. G
  13. You are quite welcome kind sir. G
  14. Question for the OP. How are you thinning your paint? What is your ratio of paint to thinner? Did you clean the AB before using it? G
  15. I don't think any of us would have recognized a stock '29! Good job sir. G
  16. 1970. Unit number on the left front and right rear. The Chevy behind it is a Metro car from the mid 90's. Same basic emblem, just says "Metropolitan Police" instead of "City of Las Vegas Police" Clark County Sheriffs and LV City merged in 1973 to become the LV Metropolitan Police. G
  17. Thank you sir, all of us appreciate your sentiments. G
  18. It's worse than you can ever imagine. G
  19. Very classy. You did a excellent job replicating a beautiful car. That paint is exceptional. G
  20. My understanding of the term "curb side" means what you can see of the car from the curb. I would hazard a guess an engine is not required. G
  21. It's scary really, if you substitute "police manager" for "engineer" in the above, you have a close approximation to my world. G
