Plymouth Belvedere / Adam-12 Police Car

[GaryG64]

Hi guys, what are the hole's in the base of the cab floor for? Don't think I have missed anything so should I have filled them? Pantherman

Speaking of holes. I'm probably going to file down and cover the stick shift and add a shifter onto the steering column.

I'll probably just go with the white door only.

I’m going to photoshop the side of the car with just the door white and then having white back to wheel well. I will share when done

I have the chassis finished, I want to give the transmission and oil pan a little wash.
Normally I would have drilled holes on the exhaust pipes, but I'll just paint them black.
I'll probably do some work on it tonight.

Looking forward to seeing it.

That will be a nice touch

That actually makes the car. Look very good. I think I'll be copying yours.

I just finished painting the seats and dash. I found that the Dunkel Gelb makes for a nice tanish color. To make it more tan I'll probably shoot a light brown wash over it to soften the harsh yellow.

I did sand out the stick shifter boot and filled It with sprue goo.
I noticed that the floorboard is black so ill do that. I have a small box that I'll use for the radio. If i cannot find anything I can use as a mic then that will be OK.

I can only vaguely remember dad's first patrol car because i was just barely a toddler.
it was white with a big red light on top.

i love reminiscing, but sometimes it makes me sad, because I don't have my dad anymore and I really miss him, terribly.
Even though it's been 10 years I still keep some of his text messages from my wedding day and I keep his cell number in this phone.

Sorry for rambling on.

Get how you feel, I'm the same. I lost dad in 2000 to cancer, it was horrible how it left him near the end but he never once complained. I remember the nurse saying how she knows that he is really suffering with acute pain even though he's on enough morphine to almost kill him and yet he was teasing them and making them laugh, typical dad. I also miss him terribly. Pantherman

Dad's are great, just like moms.
I hope I can be as half a good of dad as he was.
But at least in November,Thanksgiving, I'll get to see my mom and sister in Tennessee. I'm not sure if we're flying or driving. Driving won't be too bad, it's only 15 hours.
I made it to Fort Jackson, South Carolina in 17
It would ha e been soon if 2 women weren't with me having to stop and pee so often. Lol

Looks good. I decided to extend the white paint to the rear wheel well like the picture you posted. I think it's a better look.
