Project: Cop-out, new update

Ok, so I the middle of rebuilding my B4U I decided I really wanted to make a sorta copy of a 95 NHSP car, then realized I had most of the stuff to do it...and I have a police-car fetish (according to my friends)  

What I have got completed so far:

New Chandler-Motorsports Opti
New plugs, wires, and fuel filter
New GM waterpump, rad hoses, radiator
Removed mechanical fan & converted to electric
Cleaned, and painted 4 super nice N97's, & mounted 4 new 255/60/15 BFG's
Alignment
16 qt trans flush
Fixed leaking trans-cooler lines
Removed broken manifold bolts in heads, replaced all lower manifold studs, had manifold resurfaced, replace manifold bolts with stainless
Made cat eliminator pipes, installed flowmaster 2 1/2" H-pipe with turbo mufflers
air pump, and home plate delete
Removed interior
Painted floors (inside and out), frame, and radiator support
Had rear window removed and resealed (by glass company)
Doing bodywork on rear decklid I got that has Moss rear spoiler
More to come........

B4U before anything:



Manifold:



N97's:





Interior start:



rad support:





decklid and Moss spoiler:

Good to see ya working on your own stuff for a change.

I really did LOL

Working on the push-bar today.

It's a Setina for a Crown-Vic that I'm going to have to mod to make fit right, but it's the style of bar I like

This is what it's starts out looking like:



I cut the center support out, so I can move it up 2 1/2 inches. Sectioning the side to take 3 1/2 out of the height, then notching the sides for a Caprice bumper profile

So far:

Why am I thinking about Robocop?

Nice

Seems to be a trend converting cars into 9C1s. First Jim, now you................ Posser!

Well, I already have the bucket seats, 9C1 cluster, and N97's. Just need a spotlight.

I just gave my LAST spotlight away...

Al, did you still need those antenna things you text me about like 3 months ago?

Lets get some more pictures up.

keep up the good work!!!!

Love your style..... sell the modified car, sell the really clean car, and save the rust bucket

Btw, that was an SS into a 9C1, this is a B4U

Cutting the door for the spotlight tonight (thanks for the template Brian), no turning back now

I'm glad you can use it.

Quiet, don't you have a Fleetwood to work on so you can stop driving a Corolla?

..... says the fat man from his booger green corolla

Um, yeahhhhh so I'm pretty sure he has a Prizm....and not just a Prizm but an LSi...uh, yeah....mmmkay....s'different cahs....uh, yeah....

I had a push bar just like that one once, now I wish that I'd kept it.

From what little I've seen this is a whole 'nother level of cloning. My SS will be jealous.

Christ now i need to build an M(maine)SP car.

No you dont.

Just bring the coffee & donuts to Als shop.

I'm sure he'll let you sit in it & make siren noises while shining the spotlight if you ask nicely.

I have only seen one, its was a 94, and it was a rainy night, and i didn't get a good look. He was suppose to do a reconstruction, but called away before i got to the car.

I got a nice Whelen traffic director that would look awesome in the rear window of that thing. its amber of coarse.

I've got a whelen edge 9000 6 strobe bar (with blue lenses to) lol

Oh yeah I do love lots of lights.

I dug my LED strobes out las night and bench tested them. HOLY BRIGHT!

I have amber and two red. Need some for inside...........(amber of course)

I have so many lights, not sure where they all went. Thank heaven for a trusting SO to allow me to remove them all!

Cut out my nice black 95 door for the spotlight last night.

Jim looked on in morbid curiosity.......





The rough cut:

If you need one of the rubber gaskets that go over the cutout edge, I've got a bunch. Free. Better than eBay prices for em

SWEET!

I was looking for the one I had (and could'nt find) last night.

Any ideas on where to get a passenger side upper roof gasket (the one with the hole in it)? I have two spotlights, but kinda need that gasket to make it work.

TIA

You mean you need the weather stripping with the hole in it? I'm sure if Jim or Glenn don't have any, you could modify a regular one to work just the same.

My BIGGEST concern for you guys using spotlights on non 9C1 prepped cars is the inside pillar (under weather strip) brackets. Indy said he could make a mold if mine and try to machine a set.

Next to impossible to find as it, as I've been told by unity, that part is GM specific OEM for the caprice. Again, not to put anyone on the spot, but Glenn might have one stashed away.

A sigh of relief that mine were in the trunk in the quarter panels.

I don't remember ever seeing a car (aside from photos) with dual spots.

If it wasn't a black '95 door I would have enjoyed it more watching the door get cut.

I know alot of 7x7 9c1s were used in Cali. Still pretty common with p71 vics. I don't see too many here if any at all.

You can look at mine if you go to the roundup

Stage-2 of the pushbar, adding a round tube & finish welding left to do.

Looks perfect

I like it.

Have saw, can travel

Progress update:

Well after a lot more work than I really wanted to do, I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.

Sorry, I took one final paint pic so far (at 12:00 Sun night!)

SWEET!!!!

I can't wait to see this thing in person! I saw the paint in the jambs yesterday, and it's a pretty sexy color. Almost like a candy/pearl. It's gonna look sweet! Nice work, brah!

Cutting in parts like a pro.

Wow...10X more professional then I thought you were intending

That IS gonna look good. Great start.

So.....it'll be ready just in time for the 1st snow?

Wow dude, totally above and beyond what I thought you were doing with that car. Can't wait to see the final results!

Woah

I thought this was one of those cheap and dirty things! Nice work. I'd like to see that color in person

I went and saw it tonight. Looking GOOD! He was still spraying when I left just after 10, though!

wow,.

I bought back my original white NJ 9c1 last fall,.its white,.it has 3:73's,and converter,. complete 96 SS interior, but with 12 way bonnys,. camaro dash,..eibachs,bilsteins,..13" 4 piston vette front brakes,. black SS wheels, has a 1 of a kind rear ss spoiler with 3rd brake light in it,.all 6 tail lights are leds too,. originally bought bone stock from abe bergeron,.

come to think of it,.in my parts trailer,.i have a 2nd impala ss interior,.and the complete mint blue 9c1 interior for the car,.buncha n97's too

Is this the new cool ? to return the car to original?
Mebbe i should do a black n white cop car paint job?

seems i,m only a black squirt away from an SS clone!!

Nick
