Dang. I really like all the cop cars. Where did you get the lights to make them all? Or did they come like that? You like fast cop cars, don't you?

The lights came off of the Maisto Impala (NYPD) . Most of the cop cars I do end up on Ebay to get some extra $$$$ .

So you took them off of the Impala, but how did you make so many, with just one car? Do you have like a ton of them or something? I'm not really following you.

For every car I turn into a police car, I buy a police car(either a Maisto Impala or a UT Caprice) for its parts. Sometimes,depending on the car, I'll use the police items from a 1/24 scale model kit. I then strip down the police car and sell it as an "unmarked" police car, and use the lightbar & other items on the car I'm modifying. 90% of the time, I break even or make more $$$$ on the unmarked police car then the original purchase price of it. The decals I get from hobby shops, and I can make 3 cars per sheet .
