av405 Posted April 23 Posted April 23 1999 Chevy Tahoe PPV - Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The base kit is the AMT 1996 Tahoe snap kit, but parts from 6 different kits were used to complete it. The body was modified extensively, including removal of side trim and running boards and the conversion of the original rear hatch door into barn doors. The front grill/fascia and push bar are 3D-printed pieces. The decals are a combination of various out of production sheets. I am still waiting on an acquaintance to do custom license plates for me, so those will come later. The 2 on the roof in front of the light bar indicates that this is an East Los Angeles Station Sgt.'s vehicle. Here is a link to the WIP thread: 10
BK9300 Posted April 23 Posted April 23 An excellent conversion - very realistic looking Sheriff's Tahoe. Another great build, Alberto. 1
espo Posted April 23 Posted April 23 Beautifully done and realistic looking finishes and trim details. Have to look at the build thread to appreciate the changes that were required for its appearance. 1
happy grumpy Posted April 23 Posted April 23 It definitely looks the part. Great job on this. I really dig it. 1
