 |
|
The laptop comes with the Lindberg Illinois State Police Charger i'm working on. I did a print screen capture from my desktop then played around with the size to reduce and fit it. Printed on glossy photo paper, cut it out leavuing a little around it, applied two sided Scotch tape to the back then trimmed down to fit andf stuck it on.

Here is the dash. Gauges are kit decals. I took a photo of my Magnum radio readout, reduced and printed the same way

I may try to pirate your idea somehow. I have to make a police car for a club project soon and the laptop and radio face would add a bit of smile to the whole thing. Hmm  |

Nice detailing
Will be following this thread, as I have a Charger WiP as well
Probably will leave mine in the off positions, as you really can't inside the interior once it's all buttoned up, still a great idea.

Wow! can't wait to see this one completed! I like that radio detail on the dash! I just finished up three of these this week, an Arkansas Highway patrol and two local county cars. I love these Charger models.  |

The cup holders were too crisp not to put a cup in at least one (in between the seats at the back of the console). So I fashioned a travel mug out of some scrap I had painted up; then made the handle by bending some strip out of my stock, drilled the scrap rod and brushed on the black

Mike, you should buy a sack of dunkin doughnuts (what you do with the donuts is at your discretion) and photo reduce the sack and put it on the passenger seat. Just a thought  |

finally decided what to do with the windows. The kit has you closing off all of the windows which would make the lap top, dash and scratch built coffee mug hard to see. You can't just leave the side windows out as the belt molding and b-pillar moldings would be missing. So I carefully scribed off the driver side front door glass from the "moldings'. fter the glue sets i'll dab on some Future to match the sheen of the other window moldings.
