The StoryDarvell questions McNally about Cannon talking to him in private and McNally tells him that Cannon had asked about him. Darvell wants to knkow if Cannon is going to help him and McNally says that he thinks he will. Darvell goes wild and his erratic movements and gestures caught the attention of Mr. Virden and Cannon's body guards with McNally telling Darvell to get into the car and be quiet. They leave Legal Seafood and drive back to McNally's house and Darvell is quiet the whole way. At McNally's house, Darvell gets out of McNally's car and slams the door, lights his cigar stub and he gets into his Crown Victoria, slamming the door and he drives away. The BuildI clearcoated the body, hood and front and rear panels with Testors Gloss Clearcoat Lacquer. Three coats of paint and three coats of clear. The clearcoat really brought out the color.    McNally will return...

The StoryDarvell drives back to the parking lot and the crime scene. He looks around on the pavement for any additional evidence and he finds nothing. He then looks at the light poles and surrounding buildings for any cameras and he notices several on the building across the street at a business called Fenway Collectibles and Memorabilia and he waddles across the street and he enters the store. He meets the owner and he asks about the cameras around the building. The cameras have been recording all the time and Darvell asks about one that is aimed towards the parking lot across the street. The owner show Darvell to a back room and the recording equipment. The recorder is backed up to the time of the murder and the camera recorded the entire incident. Darvell wants the disc and the owner pops the disc out of the recorder and hands it to Darvell who writes a receipt on his notebook and tears ot out and gives it to the owner. Darvell races out of the store and back to BPD to view the disc. The BuildI painted the interior, detailed it and assmbled the fronts seats and the console.    McNally will return...

The StoryLt. Det. Troy observes Det. Darvell rushing into Homicide and he takes the disc in his pocket and inserts it into the D Drive of his computer and he watches the screen. Adam walks out from his office to Darvell's desk and he asks what he has found. Darvell points out the car in the video backing out and hitting Shawn Whittaker's car. Darvell wants to view the license plate of the car that hit Whittaker's but it was too small. He says that he has to take the disc down to Audio/Video Forensics to get an enhance picture of the plate. He pops the disc out and he waddles out of Homicide to see if they can enhance the picture. Lt. Det. Troy likes to see Darvell working so hard. Maybe he is turning over a new leaf! He heard that Darvell is thinking of taking the Sergeants Exam. The BuildI have assembled the interior and added a laptop computer and a two-way radio to the interior. I will add a power cord and an antenna cable to the back of the radio.    McNally will return...

Thanks Al! The laptop came in the Revell Ford Expedtion snap kit that I built a few years ago. The two way radio is from the Revell '90 Ford Mustang kit.

The StoryDarvell rushes back to Homicide with pictures of the license plate from the mystery killer's car and the car belongs to Mr. Virden, Cannon's right hand man. Lt. Det. Troy calls the ADA for an arrest warrant for Virden and when they do get the warrant, they drive out to Virden's condo to arrest him. Except, he wasn't there. They drive out to Brookline, MA to Cannon's house to see if he is there, but Virden hasn't been seen since lunch at Legal Seafood. When the cops leave Cannon's house, Cannon yells to find Viden NOW!The BuildThe interior is now complete, or so I thought. The laptop computer sits on top of the shifter and I have been thinking about creating a dash-mount shifter like the cop cars actually have. I have been slowly polishing the paint having finished the hood, roof and trunk lid. I still have to polish the sides. A mockup showed some resistance on the front, so I removed the fender mounts and sanded the fender lips with my Dremel and a sanding bit.    McNally will return...

The StoryLt. Det. Troy decides to assign a couple of detectives to watch Virden's condo in case he shows up. He is determined to catch Virden tonight at the latest. He also decides to assign a couple of detectives to watch Cannon's house in Brookline since Cannon could go out to meet Virden or Virden would stop over at Cannon's house. In the meantime, Forensics has been reviewing the tape and printing out additional pictures of the crime scene with Virden getting out of his car and shooting Shawn Whittaker. The BuildI have removed the steering wheel and column to drill a small hole for a shifter that I found in my parts box. The hole is big enough for the shift arm and in the center of the dash near the steering wheel.    McNally will return...

Sorry guys! It appears that I have run out of time for my build. It will be finished this week, but life has gotten in the way as usual.

The Story It is 8:30 PM as Adam drives out to a crime scene in an alley. The blue lights flashing off the walls of the buildings gets brighter and brighter as he gets closer to the scene. He gets out of his Dodge Charger PPV Detective’s Car and clips his badge to the lapel of his jacket as he approaches the tape line being guarded by a patrol officer who lifts the tape for him. “Evening, Lt. Troy,” says the officer. “Evening, Off. Treagan,” Adam replies. Adam walks towards the body lying on the ground with several officers and the Coroner standing next to the body. Det. Darvell looks up at Adam and he updates the Lieutenant. “A 39 year old male, 5 ft. 11 inches tall, approximately 180 Lbs. Shot in the back of the head, execution style with a small caliber gun, possibly a .22. His name is Lucas Virden. Our murder suspect is now a murder victim.” “I would guess this would be Cannon cleaning house. Call the Organized Crime Bureau and get them over here. They’ll want to look at this.” “Yes, Lieutenant,” says Darvell. Adam stands back and watches his people work the scene. The Coroner performing a preliminary inspection, other detectives looking around for clues and evidence, Darvell on his cellphone talking to someone in the OCB. After a few minutes, he walks back over to Darvell who has since ended his phone call. “I’m leaving this in your hands, Steve. I’m heading home.” “Yes, Lieutenant. See you in the morning.” Adam walks back to his Charger, gets in and starts the car and drives out of the alley. The BuildI polished the Charger body and I burnt through some spots and decided to give the entire body another two coats of paint. Now for some detailing and assembly!    McNally will return...
