Cop Out
Feast your eyes on the Cop Out...drag strip version of a far out police car!
The body of this mean looking Plymouth Duster funny car tilts up to expose the detailed chassis, driver's compartment and big blown 426 Hemi mill.
Giant M&H "wrinkled" slicks ride on deep chromed mags, topping it off, a lineup of the very latest emergency lights.
Tom Daniel had developed a cutting edge "Funny Car" Chassis for the '57 Chevy kit "Outcast"...
... and the powers, that be at Monogram wanted to utilize that chassis under some other kind of car Body, so TD thought, that was a kind of a cop out; and he wasn't too thrilled about using the Plymouth Duster body, so "COP OUT" it became, complete with Cop car accouterments...
Chuck (Starry Eyes) challenged me, to build just for fun a boxstock kit during the contest, this was my choice.
No idea when I built the last time a kit from start to finish, original, and only with the parts out of the box...
Believe it or not, this was certainly a challenge for me!
I caught myself several times, as I wanted to replace some parts by others and to improve it in some places...
And somehow, did almost nothing be from this build, somehow, the building was difficult, and I had doubts whether I can complete it on time...
But here it is done and except for a few color changes, Boxstock...
Hope, you like it.
