I am looking for reference pictures of one of these two cars. Mainly cockpit stuff. I have found plenty of engine pictures, but no cockpit photos.

Here you go: http://www.carcraft.com/dragtimes/1342_reher_morrison_era_pro_stock/photo_26.html

There are lots more photos at that link if you scroll down.

For the Tony Foti L.A.P.D. car the rollcage is modified with a funny car style cage around the driver and I think the passenger seat is deleted as it wasn't required that also goes for the later Pro Stock cars) and the engine is different, otherwise it's based on the same tooling as the Reher & Morrison car.

Last time I saw the Tony Foti LAPD Camaro 1:1, it was living in my neighborhood in the desert north of LA and re-painted blue. The owner (IIRC) was also running an Alcohol Funny Car.

You've pretty much all seen the neighborhood on TV a zillion times as there are a few Movie studio facilities in the area which are some of the busiest filming locations on the planet. If you see Joshua trees, old gas stations in the desert, rocky desert hills with snow capped mountains in the distance, it was probably almost certainly here. Ads, movies, music videos, magazine stills, porno, etc. From Arnold and the Connors kid getting guns from an underground desert stash to Jeep ads, to Britney Spears, to Bank ads, to Quentin Tarantino Biker flicks, to Jamie Presley, to......whatever. You just don't see the homes in the camera views.
