Lookin' very cool - kinda like what would happen to Broderick Crawford's CHP car after James Dean stole it!

FCB,
Looks great! What did you use for the antenna, guitar string? Anyway, to chime in with the others, yes, you need a Fire chief car now.

They're Micro Scale decals. At one time you could get them from Road Repllica. The little red light is from a military police u-turn chassis car (which you can still get from Road Replica). The rear bumper is from a super modified. And the antenna is fishing line.
I got a fire chief car & a drag car done today. I'll post pictures late tomorrow on those.
