Hi everybody,
Some of you may recall back in 2016 I began a journey never seen on RPF. Well, after 4 very hard years, my T1000 police car replica has been completed. I've restored cars all my life, but THIS has been by far the most challenging thing I have ever done!
The car is screen accurate, right down to the correct door number markings, stickers and license plates. Inside is also replicated to film accuracy. I believe it is the only Terminator 2 LAPD replica in the world.
The car is a 1988 Chevrolet Caprice sedan that has been fitted with all of the original, period correct LAPD equipment, which functions as it did in service at that time of the filming of T2 (filmed in 1990).
Flashing red and blue roof lights
Flashing wig-wag head lights
100 watt siren
PA system
Functioning Motorola police radio (hear the dispatcher broadcasting real radio calls)
Re-broadcast function (police dispatch calls can be switched to the siren speaker, for working crime scenes, accidents, etc)
Police mobile data terminal computer (turns on, functions, and displays checks on John Connor)
Driver and passenger spot lights, able to be moved around from inside the patrol car
Overhead interior police map light
Antennnas
Equipment box in trunk containing: First aid kit, fire extinguisher, traffic ticket book, LAPD 'patrol sheets' folder, notebook, crime scene tape, baton, flashlight, road flares, traffic cones, equipment bag
350 V8 police pack optioned engine
Hope you guys like it. It is now parked next to my film correct Harley Davidson Fatboy motorcycle
My next projects are a full size Arnold statue standing next to my Fatboy, a T1000 statue sitting in the car, and hopefully a full size endoskeleton!!
PS: On a side note, I had great pleasure in meeting Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2018. I met him twice actually. It was a monumental moment of my life. May I put the debate of Arnies height to rest? He IS 6 foot 2. Case closed on that one. Lol
