VERY NICE Dave! This one may top the Boyd's Hauler! Your scratchbuilding skills are quite amazing. As usual, I say... WOW! Can't wait to see this one finished. |

Very cool Dave! You are certainly clever with your builds. You've inspired me to try a police car and I have 2 of them to choose from. Now that my Chezoom is finished (BTW.. Did you check it out? The finished pics are in the thread "My Chezoom: Update" ) I'm not sure what to do next! |

LOL! I've got the Hobby Heaven Ford LTD and the Joker Goon car. I also scored the old Johan Fire rescue ambulance (Factory Sealed... ripped that baby open too!). I'm leaning towards the Ford right now... but I dunno for sure yet.. |

I bet I've seen it 6 times at least. Back when Burt Reynolds was cool. The car was awesome too. Quite the sleeper. I loved the ending when he pulls down that incline to the lake and the sherrif guns his car and jumps over him into the lake. I wonder if that flick is on DVD yet? Hmmm.. off to Amazon.com! |
