57peppershaker Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I picked up a Lindberg Crown Vic patrol car & was going to build it as a worn NYC Yellow Cab. Looked for a few pics for inspiration & cant find any. Anybody else built Cabs ? Show ya finished pics. Here's my old Monaco, as a start.

blubaja Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Revell police impala. Not 100% done. Still need some kind of advertisement for the roof. Made the decals myself. Working on a Caprice and SUV of the same company lol
Dr. Cranky Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Manny, love those pictures, and your models. Very cool. Keep the eye candy coming, folks.
CorvairJim Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I haven't built an entire Taxi yet, but I did find a door off of one that I used to get an old sedan back on the road... Does this count?

Woah, that's awesome! Looks like something I would have driven in my teens. I see lots of parking lot burnouts with that beast!

Does this count? Well ya got a door jim & thats a start or is that all thats left of the Taxi ?? Jeez, knew those 70's Ford rusted but . . . . . .
CorvairJim Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 "Junior's High School Hot Rod" was a bunch of fun to build! It came to me as a $1 glue bomb, brush painted silver inside and out and the hood glued shut. I sacrificed a good bit of an AMT '66 Mustang to bring this old guy back to some semblance of life. Engine, tires and wheels, bucket seats all came from that 'Stang. Hey, "Junior" really wanted a Mustang, but all he could afford was this busted a$$ old Galaxie. Anyhow, the interior is obviously multi colored with the blue Mustang seats and the factory green-gold on the rest of it, but wait: The insides of the two junkyard doors are black, still sporting their original trim panels. The taxi markings on the door came from the Monogram '91 Caprice Taxi.
