Poor Ol Rosco

[MoparWoman Jamie]

I been working on this project of Rosco's other potrol car for alittle while now. Here is the story that I came up with for the project. Poor old Rosco one evening was out way way on the other side of Hazzard at one of his speed traps.. when he had a cb call come over the cb from old Boss telling him that he wanted him at his office at the Boars nest on the triple and that if he wasn't there in 10 minutes he was going to send Lulu back home to live with Rosco. So Rosco hearing that jump in his potrol car and headed off for the boards taking every short cut he knew! and on top of that it was or just had been raining in Hazzard so things was wet in some areas.

Looks like a lot of work and a good effort but a lot of the proportions seem a bit "off"

Would like to see an accurate C body- the mid size conversions just don't seem to work

Well, outside of not being 100% Perfect but Close enough.

It looks Dang Great.

Is that a resin or did ya scratch build or Heavily modify a pre-existing kit?

Weathering looks great

Body looks perty good to me.

Great work..

I want one.

Yea it's resin. I heavily modified a 1978 Fury one of the Rosco kit ones afew years back after I had by mistake step on the shell half way as it was setting down on the floor beside my old work area in the shadowed area and I for got it was down there. So I took the shell and seeing on how the shell was half way busted up I decided I would try my best at modifing it into Rosco's other potrol car version. This model you see here is the 5th proto type out of my shell mold from back then. I have proto type #6 here as well (which is the only other one of the proto types I have left) but it's missing areas of it's shell though as the mold didn't get all the resin down in. The mirror on the model above is scratch built like the side trim is as well.

Here is what the interior looks like.

Here is also the modified interior tube as well along with the dash. I am only posting this stuff here so you can see what the interior looks like that is in the model above sense those photos doesn't really show you how the interior looks. The shell also has a fabric headliner as well.

Now some might not know this but in the first episode, Rosco's one potrol car indeed had a roll bar just like the General Lee had in, in his as well.

I see 68/69 Roadrunner headlights, 74 roadrunner grill?

Roscoe sure does need a rollbar with how many times he flips them

Super work.

You did an Excellent conversion on it.

Your right up there with SpaceCowboy with Mopar Conversions..

Thanks, I was just setting here thinking back to what grill and head lights I used back then. I know the bumper is from Rosco's kit. I think the grill and head light area came as a one piece from a chevell. I know I had to cut the parts and trim them down back then to get things to fit in place and to look at least right. I know the grill had a emblem on the center that I had to remove from it at the time. The top of the head light rims was sanded flat to make them flush with the front face. The nose front end was rebuilt some what also and I added the license plate area on the front bumper also like I did the bumper guards as each one was scratch built. I mean after I step on the original kit shell by mistake it was not a pretty site at all. I could have thrown the damage shell out but I didn't want to waste it though and sense I was working on that kit as rebuild anyways off and on so I thought why not try to back date it sense the shell was in need of alot of repair

Your right, Rosco does need a roll bar, he does flip them alot while chasing after those darn Duke boys.

Yea, I thought why dirty the sides and tires up for and leave the underside go un-touch for. So I dirtied it as well and did my best to what I thought it would look like. Yea, Rosco looks like he got stuck again while chasing those dang Duke boys around Hazzard once again when it was raining.
