martinfan5 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Oh yeah, nice work on the interior G, looks great
Danno Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Hey, G! That dang interior is . . . RED! What up wid dat, dewd? Whafour did dey do dat?
Agent G Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Darn Missouri troopers are always doing something strange. I heard the MSHP decided that these would be worth more sold outright after their police careers were over. They felt the cars would bring more money with something other than gray/black interiors. *edit for clarification* MSHP always and still rotates cars at 85,000 miles. Other police agencies get first dibs on the "used cars", all except these. G Edited June 18, 2013 by Agent G

Agent G Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 Wait no more Austin. Here's the real deal, it's an '89 but you get the idea. Here's where I'm at. I used the radio/siren box from a Lindbergh CV. The K55 radar is scratchbuilt. This will give an idea how it will look. Here's the radio and mic mounted. More to come later. G
Agent G Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 Thank you sir, here's a bit more. Starting the work week tomorrow so we might be stuck at this stage for a while. G
jrherald420 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Very nice work! Ill be using your thread when i get the time to build one of these, keep up the good work!
sjordan2 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Interior looks great, perfect finish for vinyl seats. But based on your 1:1 shot, wouldn't the cloth seat inserts need to be duller?
Agent G Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks all! Skip I thought the same thing. Since these pics were taken I used a dark wash on the seats, drybrushed them with some flat red, and Dullcoted the lot. It looks much better now. More to come. G
Agent G Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 Ok I'm calling the interior finished! I'm pleased wih the results. G
freakshow12 Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 That looks awesome! Are you sure radar gun will clear the windshield?
Agent G Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 That looks awesome! Are you sure radar gun will clear the windshield? I was sure, until you mentioned that. Apparently all my mockups failed to disclose the fact that once everything is glued up, it didn't work. It fits now.......................................... Thank you sir! G
Agent G Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 Thanks to the delay this is nearly complete. Pics tonight when I get home. G

Agent G Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 More you say? Here's my take on the light bar, inspired by Martin fan's build. I also used paperclip wire for my spotlight. Just waiting for the new clear lenses from Revell to wrap this up. G
Cien1986 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 i really like the interior paint job keep good work
