Police Viper build

[viper GTS-R]

So we've been dealing with these ridiculous amounts of rain here in the northeast and because of that my car shows get cancelled. After work one day I headed over to the local hobby store and snagged an RT/10 kit for $11, but I didn't know what to do with it. Now mind you building a car model was never my forte, I would never finish them or do them right. But this, this I wanted to complete. I was going to just do a plain Viper in a custom color and then an idea popped into my head...

BUILD A NJ STATE POLICE VIPER! I chose a pearl white called 'White Lightning', I didn't want the base to be just a white. So I painted the body/exterior parts first...

and then I followed it up with the decals...

I threw some black on the old three spoke wheels and made them look like a police cars wheels. After that it was time to start building the chassis...

I painted the interior pieces and started to assemble the motor...

Chassis is complete, motor is installed, driveshaft connected...I don't have a pic for the next part which was the exhaust and other motor pieces.

Finally, the body was on the chassis and the interior was complete...

I ordered a light bar which I really wanted to insert between the two ends of the roll hoop but it just wouldn't fit without any major mods, so I have it sitting level with the windshield.

So I buttoned all the final pieces. The front headlights, the taillights, the fogs, the rear bumper, the wheels, the hood.

and FINALLY! after a few weeks of work...

Don't give em ideas State Troopers have enough Bad ass cars as it is

I used to love making plastic kits, I don't have much time for them now, but I spent many many hours making all sorts of different kits.

I could not have put that engine in your kit without painting everything up the correct colour also the brake servo etc.

Thanks for posting the pics, good project, I wish the real cars were as simple as that to work on
