1969 Galaxie 4dr ex-police car

[ScaleModelRestoration]

I know alot of people think about there new build onthe way to work, sitting at home in front of the puter!
But not to be different, i do all that too............BUT My think tank gets over loaded some time, Like i just got this glue bomb in and my mind starts to jet into outer space.......till i get the idea on how i wanna do this...........lately tho it takes about a minute and i have it fiqured out..............

So with that out of the way, i have some pieces and parts left over! and thought hey why not! lets put it in here and this way you guys can see my work in action as i progress with it.............BUT watch out one day i may be hacking up the bodys etc and by day three its done............ i like to work fairly fast for no reason just have always done just that..............so dont hate me for to long ok!

OH one last thing im not the best writer so bare with me ok <g>

Now on to the think tank idea, last year i built a 1970 Ford galaxie Sport roof using the roof from a '69 galaxie 2dr and grafted it onto a 70 ford galaxie 4dr turning it into a 2dr ofcourse........

now in the back ground is the left over pieces...........

and i would like to make a 1969 Ford Custom 500 4dr,should i make it a weather beater EX- police car ( i wont be drilling out or grinding the body for holes) .......
i mean its kinda the way i wanna go with it..........to be different.........
(i'll be taking pics of it tomorrow, i did get the body parts grafted togather this evening.............)

Heres the inprogress shots..need to weld on some more plastic on the body side

Ok after some slight thin putty work i have the body in a good coat of primer so i polished it out with wet polishing cloths.........
will rince thebody off later today, and give it another good coat of primer......BUT before i do that i need to add the trunk line back in.......and fix one front fender cause it cracked while sanding it, should have backed it with super glue (LOL)

Progressed alittlle more on this build.....
The 1970 Grill i back dated to represent a 1969 Custom 500 grill instead of the 1970..thank god they didnt change it much in the one year change over..........
I added rust here and there, and installed the light bar which is rusty. one cherry is missing,proby because it was either needed for another cruizer or broken off.
It will be missing its fron seat and some of the engine parts will be present. and nothing under the hood,except for maybe hoses and wiring...........
Not alot of details will go into the interior tub,but one never knows.......something may happen and it will get some more details.......

The chassis has been very rusted..........likes its been sitting around along time or years of service , (speedo read 300, some thousand miles) and pretty much all of it was hard miles...........

That is a cool concept Mj. It is looking really sweet. Keep the pics coming.
