Re: Mother Jugs and Speed
So much false information out there. The false information surfaces annually it seems. Most dont know it, but Dean Jefferies made two of the ambulances used in the movie. As I mentioned above, one was put back to street look, and sold to a private ambulance firm in Prosser, Washington. I have photos...

Peel Regional Police CVE
This is a Greenlight Dodge Ram. Nothing changed on it. I used a camper shell from one of the Greenlight Dodge CHP units. I filled in the side windows with plastic, and repainted it. The side doors are my topper decals, cut in the middle and another section added. It has a laser cut acrylic lightbar.

Re: Paint Prices
I use automotive paint. The last order I placed, it was almost $200. You can get a lot of models in one of the large cans, but sometimes I am only going to paint one or two. Its over $20 a can always. I use the same brand of primer and clear. Thankfully, they are not as high as the paint. I just nev...

Re: CHP Suburban
I have a couple of shoe boxes full of Code 3 Suburbans. I could never give them away either. They are starting to become more desirable to new collectors, but you are lucky to get what you paid for out of them. Once you file off the front fender lights, they are really nice. I always thought that th...

Re: 83-84 Suburban Ambulance
We can only hope its a true Suburban high top ambulance. The sheet metal changed several times, mostly front fascia, and of course headlights. If they do it correctly, they can get quite a few years. If the top is pinned in, we can have a pretty wide selection of Suburbans to work with. I would be h...

CHP Suburban
I made this using a Code 3 Collectibles Suburban. I filed off the front fender lights, then stripped and repainted with automotive paint. I made the front winch bumper, winch, fairlead, push bars and siren speaker. I added spotlights painted flat black. The lightbar is a Johnny Lightning. I like thi...
