tomsheehy Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) 1966 Dodge Coronet, replica of a restored Pasadena CA Police squad, built from a MCW Automotive Finishes Resin 66 Coronet 2 door sedan trans-kit mated to a Revell 67 Coronet R/T kit for chassis and other donor parts. Body and interior converted to 4 door sedan. Engine is a small block Mopar 318 from my parts department, as requested by the owner of the real car. Pasadena used a rather unique roof light platter on their squads of this era, I duplicated it with some sheet plastic, parts box spotlights and a modified JoHan police kit siren modified to look like a B&M mechanical siren. Interior detailed as per the prototype, including a 'hot sheet' desk and a 3D Motorola radio by Duncan Nordese. Paint is all Tamiya, decals were homemade. Last couple of shots were taken alongside my LAPD 68 Belvedere, built a long time ago... Edited March 15, 2023 by tomsheehy 15

Bills72sj Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 WOW! They are both amazing! I would love to have them "chasing" my models around in the display cabinet.

carrucha Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Nice pair of police cars. I really dig the Adam 12 patrol car.
