finally got some more progress to show

the body is painted, decalled, clearcoated, polished and buffed.

i started assembly to the front end which is pretty much done and all that is left is the rear bumper, glass and final assembly

here are a few quick mockups of the car

Nice job on the puddle pirate ride.

I used the old AMT kit, wheels were from a 454ss truck. I modified the tailgate to represent two cargo doors.

If I remember correctly I sanded off all the door trim too. I know I cut off the running boards and drilled new holes in the chassis to lower the ride height as these were 2 WD.

Nick that came out nice.

I actually drove a CV in that color! Same year and body style too.

I got the mold made for spotlights finally, sorry it took so long. I'll be casting some this weekend. Let me know.

No Problem on the wait, you'll definatley be hearing from me.

(i got pics of the actual truck... even though its a FMC F800 truck and im building a ihc thats alright im still going to build it.....wait a minute i just thought of something :P mmmmm!

FBI uses essentially the same as everyone else, with just different channels and encoders, which is stuff you wouldn't see. They opt for small control heads that fit under the dash, or in the glove box or console where they won't be so noticible to a casual observer.

FBI vehicles are not always what you think in terms of police car. SUV's, vans, sedans, crossovers, pickups, what ever they think will blend in.

Unlike me, who drives a dark metallic grey plain jane '09 Impala, black walls and a prisoner gage. :rolleyes:

MiB, thas how we roll................... <_<

There are so many cool builds here, it makes me want to jump in on the action, so count me in!

I've started one of the police cars from the Robocop movie. I'll get some pics posted as soon as I get some time to take and post them.

Regards,

David G.

At risk of being accused of highjacking this thread (what fun reading all those posts!), here's some of my stuff.
