That's one of the better ones i have ever seen.
But, there's something wrong with the body where the rear wheels are.
Either the body is too tall by the rear tires, or the rear tires are too short.
Maybe it needs some little fenders (like on the paddy wagon) above the rear tires?
I don't know, the rear tires appear to be M/T sportsmans, but they look tiny on it to me.
i just think it needs taller rear tires, or the body needs to be sectioned.
Just my opinion.

Rob, what if the rear axle was brought forward a few inches?
Nah , I agree those rear wheels and tires still look on the small side. Still pretty cool though.

The rear axle does need to come forward a bit, and some fenders would help with the height without resorting to a massive drag slick or something that would start to look goofy. Maybe drop the body down two more inches to push the tire up.
It's a big vehicle, it might have been more proportionate if it was scaled down just a bit, but the body is spot-on. It is one of the better ones I've seen, too.

Beautiful car but the body looks to long to me. I built one from a 1/8 Big Tub body on a golden T chassis and even with short rear tires I think the proportions look better.  |

yeah something....the body needs a big section taken out of the center to drop the roof height. The sides of the body look like big slabs or something.
But, it is still really cool looking...and a big block with a tunnel ram on top of it!

Boy... I hate to mess with the man's work, cause it's way better than my C-cab (I don't have one..LOL).. but I just had to see what it would look like with the rear tire scooted forward a touch...  |

That thing is cool, though... add the little oval window with the bars on the side and some Paddy Wagon striping... the steps on the back... the old Police station globes on the rear sides... be glad I don't have an extra 30k laying around, I'd be driving this to the grocery store.
