My NEW light bar.....Udated pics, 6/3/13

[FIREMODELMAN]

Just finished this one up. 1/25 scale Aerodynic , with added take down lights on front. This light bar will be going on a 1978 Dodge Monaco I am building for a soon to be retiring deputy, who is a good friend of my dad's. There are 20 separate piece's all put together to complete this bar. It started life from a model kit of Roscoe P. Coltrane's Dodge, from the Dukes of hazzard. Mounting feet are made from a bent paper clip. I drilled holes in the ends of the red and blue lenses and added the clear alley lights. I also added the chrome trim piece on top. I will post pics of the finished car once I get going on it. Thanks for lookin, Dave.

Thank you for the nice comments. Here are a few more new pics. I've got the body shot in Dupli-color Black. I'll give it a few days then shoot the white on the top. Interior is also done, along with engine bay. The car will represent a 77 Monaco. It will wear a county plate with number 77 on it, along with county number (9). It was the closest car I could do for the year. 1977 was his first year on the job, so I think it fits. Thanks for looking,


Dave.

Forgot to add, I also re-did the take down lights, I feel they look much better now than before.

There are a few of us on here. This site is my one and only place to go for GREAT reference pictures and info from the AWSOME members.


I"d like to see some of your builds, Got any photo's ?

Here's a little teaser shot. This door star IS NOT for this car, it will go on a 65 wagon I will be building, The door star for this car is not done yet. Got a few members on here that will be able to identify the county by the plate.

Thanks towmedic. Yea the kit is a real turd to work with. I wish I had another 70's roadrunner to kit bash it with, but I didn't have anymore.


Did't I just 'see' you on another forum :yes: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
