2010 Dodge Charger R/T

The Story

Lt. Det. Troy decides to assign a couple of detectives to watch Virden's condo in case he shows up.  He is determined to catch Virden tonight at the latest.  He also decides to assign a couple of detectives to watch Cannon's house in Brookline since Cannon could go out to meet Virden or Virden would stop over at Cannon's house.  In the meantime, Forensics has been reviewing the tape and printing out additional pictures of the crime scene with Virden getting out of his car and shooting Shawn Whittaker.

The Build

I have removed the steering wheel and column to drill a small hole for a shifter that I found in my parts box.  The hole is big enough for the shift arm and in the center of the dash near the steering wheel.

The Story

     It is 8:30 PM as Adam drives out to a crime scene in an alley.  The blue lights flashing off the walls of the buildings gets brighter and brighter as he gets closer to the scene.  He gets out of his Dodge Charger PPV Detective’s Car and clips his badge to the lapel of his jacket as he approaches the tape line being guarded by a patrol officer who lifts the tape for him.
            “Evening, Lt. Troy,” says the officer.
            “Evening, Off. Treagan,” Adam replies.
     Adam walks towards the body lying on the ground with several officers and the Coroner standing next to the body.  Det. Darvell looks up at Adam and he updates the Lieutenant.
            “A 39 year old male, 5 ft. 11 inches tall, approximately 170 Lbs.  Shot in the back of the head, execution style with a small caliber gun, possibly a .22.  His name is Lucas Virden.  Our murder suspect is now a murder victim.”
            “I would guess this would be Cannon cleaning house.  Call the Organized Crime Bureau and get them over here.  They’ll want to look at this.”
            “Yes, Lieutenant,” says Darvell.
     Adam stands back and watches his people work the scene.  The Coroner performing a preliminary inspection, other detectives looking around for clues and evidence, Darvell on his cellphone talking to someone in OCB.  After a few minutes, he walks back over to Darvell who has since ended his phone call.
            “I’m leaving this in your hands, Steve.  I’m heading home.”
            “Yes, Lieutenant.  See you in the morning.”
     Adam walks back to his Charger, gets in and starts the car and drives out of the alley.
 The Build 

I polished the Charger body and I burnt through some spots and decided to give the entire body another two coats of paint.  Now for some detailing and assembly!

The Story

     McNally had gotten the ‘Cuda running again and he spent a considerable amount of time during the afternoon trying to fine tune the engine by ear as best as he can.  He parks the car in the garage and locks the garage doors.  In the house, he starts his dinner by placing a TV dinner in the microwave and heating it.  After he eats, he sits down in his easy chair and watches TV with a cold beer in his hand.  While he is watching TV, the doorbell rings and he gets up to answer it.

     A large, well-dressed man is standing in the doorway. 

“Can I help you,” asks the Boston PI.  

     The man says, “I’m Damian Rockler.  Mr. Cannon would like a word with you.”

            “Sure,” replies the Boston PI.

     McNally walks out of the house and off the porch to a white Mercedes-Benz S-Class Limo parked at the curb.  Mr. Rockler opens the door and McNally gets into the car.  Inside the car is Alexander Cannon reading the Wall St. Journal and smoking a cigar. 

     He puts the paper down and says, “McNally, Mr. Virden is no longer working for me.  Mr. Rockler is my new assistant to call if you ever need anything from me.”

            “Ok, Mr. Cannon.  Thank you for the update.”

            “Good night McNally.”

            “Good night sir.”

     McNally gets out of the Limo and Mr. Rockler gets into the car and the Limo drives away down the street.

The Build

The body and the chassis are now one.  I have been adding emergency lights to the grille and on the rear package shelf behind the rear headrests.

Looks good. Nice work.

Thanks James!  This was originally for a Christmas Build-Off elsewhere and we all ran out of time with unfinished projects.  I'm trying to push this project along, but life keeps getting in the way!
