This is my first post in a while due to tech.Diff. This one is a Chevy Tahoe Police SUV that I have been working on for a while. I have custom Decals made for it, that I cant wait to get on. For the curious, this is the scheme Im going for.  http://images9.fotki.com/v171/photos/4/49373/327423/cnpca2858-vi.jpg

 
I have the body painted from duplicolor rattle can, and I am now painting  free hand the small details before I decide to put on the decals.

The interior is basically complete, features are a completely scratch built Kennel area, and a scratch built seat organizer. I also scratch built a traffic advisor, and Deck lights for the front windshield.">

Nice job so far on it, especially the K-9 Carrier/cage!

">I have all the body detail painted, and did a wash on the panel lines. I also finished the BMF on the fenders. The next step is decals.">

Looks Great so far!!! I really liked the Tahoes we had locally,around that time line.... My favorite part, was the Kool blacked out 16&17" shariff star wheels(same as the wheels on the 454SS pickups at the time, but they only got 15/16"ers) ...

Your doing some great detail work. Keep us posted on your progress.

 Thanks for the comments. I actually was able to trade a member on this forum for a pair of the 454 wheels. I have the main decals on, I will post pics asap.

this is looking good, keep posting pics of progress!!

 I have the Decals complete. The Dr./Pass. Side decals are both one whole piece that took a bit of work to get on correctly. The front Grill lights were scratch built, as well as the window led style lights.

 

 

 

 

looking good, i love the detail of the grill

 Looks great, nice job

Who did the decals? If you need anymore pics, I might be able to snap some for you if I see it around town. I live in Louisville and I have a few friends on Metro PD.

Drew, Same here. The guy that made the decals for me is:  http://www.diecastanddecals.com/. He has excellent customer service and the turnaround was pretty quick as well. I should have more pics up tonite.

 I tinted the rear windows using real tint, also put "cages" on the windows using mesh commonly used with drywall.

 

Very nice work.  Keep it up.

I am happy to say that the tahoe is complete. Note to self: Never Paint White again!! this was my first attempt at an all white paint scheme and it is just a bear to keep neat with all of the washes and detailing. Im not 100% happy with the outcome but oh well. I put decals on the rear passenger windows that say: "caution: police canine" but they dont show up well in the pics.

 For those familiar with LMPD, the current cars have a silver as opposed to silver paint scheme. The  departments changed from white cars to silver cars when the city & county govt. merged in 2003. Since this vehicle is a 97 model year, I made it to represent a vehicle from the previous fleet that was just re-striped(there are still vehicles in the fleet like this.) The current cars have LED light bars, but pre-2003 they were Strobe (whelen 9000 series). Also the 2 radio antennas represent UHF & VHF frequencies used by the dept.

 

That came out Great. I love the workmanship you put into it.
