martinfan5 Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Got the decals on, the lightbar has been attached, so up next is to make the push bars, and get an antenna on the trunk and some small details and this one is done
martinfan5 Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Golf ball holders on the dash? Yep, I forgot to fill the holes in the dash, no thats a lie, I was to darn lazy to do it, I am going to use the clipboard that comes in the kit to cover one of them up, the other, not sure what to do Edited November 24, 2012 by martinfan5
Danno Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 I thought maybe you were onto something that Agent G and I missed during our 100 or so collective years of coppin'.

Agent G Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Jonathan I like what you have done here so far. Lazy or not that is a fine build. Now if you would just attend shows I would be able to see these fine specimens up close and personal. Wazzamattah u? Skeered of the big man? As far as golf ball holders , well I have found various and, should I say, unique ways to store items in a police car. My favorite though was my final checkout ride in Traffic Safety aboard a Harley D Police Special. After cone drills and other slow speed manuvers I was informed the sergeant required a cup of coffee, NOW. Oh, and he wants it from a local joint about six blocks away. Cream and sugar please. It should be sufficient to say that every napkin in the place rode back in my right saddlebag, safely cradling that oh so precious cup o' joe. G
martinfan5 Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Thanks G, least someone shows some support around here Thats a funny story about the ohhh sooo very important cup-o-joe , I did laugh out loud , so were you surprised that all napkins help the coffee arrive still in the cup? That reminds of the movie license to drive, and the driving test with the cup pf coffee on the dash of the Ford Escort I was at Desert Scale this year, tell you what, if you come down for Desert Scale 2013, I will enter some of my builds so you can see my , *cough cough* craftsmanship work first hand Edited November 24, 2012 by martinfan5
Agent G Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) This time I will be at Desert Scale, Mrs G is making me attend. It would be good just to see you again my man. G P.S. I was surprised and grateful all the coffee remained where it was supposed to be. Edited November 24, 2012 by Agent G
Danno Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Well, well, well. "Thanks G, least someone shows some support around here " Really? Really? Hey, G! Yer on! It'll be great to drag you down here for the DSC. We two old guys can show that young whippersnapper a thing or two! Be sure to bring all your goods. Uh, except the tanks. This ain't IPMS!
Agent G Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Tanks for the reminder, cars only, got it. Jonathan hasn't fully experienced my "support" as yet. G
martinfan5 Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Really? Really? All I can say is I learned from the master Got ya!!!! Jonathan hasn't fully experienced my "support" as yet. G I think I am scared now
W-409 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 That's very nice Oldsmobile! I haven't seen too many of them built as Police Cars, yours is good exception between those hundreds of Oldsmobile Customs (which are cool too). Nice and clean, nice paint job too.
Danno Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Nice job, G! I can almost see a young Sergeant Dan Matthews patrolling Highway 101 practicing his oral boards responses for the future Superintendent's promotion. Guess I should build one. Shoot! Guess I should build anything!
martinfan5 Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 You did a mighty fine job on this one G, as they say, you knocked it outa the park
David G. Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Nice Olds! I can just make out that it's a highway patrol car, but not where it's from. David G.
Danno Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 David, The door stars say "California Highway Patrol" and the license plate is CA Exempt (government). The "new" door stars (like G's model wears) started in 1949, but CHP didn't add the familiar "Highway Patrol" lettering archs over the door stars until 1959.
