W-Machine Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) This was saved from a Dumpster by a co-worker. I built it to replicate what such a car might have looked like as used by the New Jersey State Police. Yeah, I know the Troopers largely used Fords back then. Basically box-stock, I was fortunate to have most of a Jo-Han Fury kit in my styrene junkyard to complete it. I've included both "before" and "after" photos.
