Alright guys. I took a model of a old build I did as a kid that I liked. Decided to give it a touch of reality, and give it a plot. What would it be like if some rodding coppers hot rodded this thing!

I started out br eliminating the original chassis and scratchbuilding a scale 2" tubular frame out of styrene rod. Then I Took a Revell parts pack Pontiac and added a Catalina(pontiac) tranny to it. I took a 1970 camaro rear end in it. Took a set of Revell/Momogram two piece slicks and turned them around. Painted the inner half with Duplicolor etching primer, then duplicolor classic white. I took the front wheels from the catalina kit as well as the rims. Stripped all of the chrome and painted most of it with aclad. My first time using the airbrush and this paint wich a friend gave me to try. By the time I got to the front rims, I was doing pretty good.So being a begginer, I am rather impressed with the stuff! Now onto the body. I hogged out the grill leaving just the shell. I cut off the steps from the old frame and mounted them to a scratch build wooden floor. The body I painted with duplicolor as well. Added carpet to the back to help protect them criminals from hurting themselves. left the chrome trim to a minimum because I did not want it to look like a show rod, but a real rod. The only thing missing here is the DD box(dunkin Doughnets). LOL. I hope you like it.This was not a contest model. I just did a quick fun build.It is not perfect, but it certainly shows well I think!Thank you. Jody

Sweet Wagon!

A black and white police car. It sounds so simple but it just works.

The wide whites make it work.
