1987 Chevrolet Camaro Iroc-Z CHP
I put a few hours on this baby, i love older 3rd Gen Camaro's both Iroc and RS.
This comes from a few stages, first i came up with the chassis from a few reference drawings i did myself from a bunch of photos from Craigslist (lucky to live in the central coast... lots of muscle car aficionados in here), and i designed the interior starting from the classic Iroc dash (flat, no room for glove compartment, you know the one). When i had everything together and touched up the lights i started going crazy on the paint job, so i went from flat black primer, to cherry red with yellow highlights, to red with racing stripes and a few logos, until i ended up painting it all black. I did a few renderings and decided i wanted to add a futuristic touch and replaced the wheels with anti-gravity boosters and the V8 350 block with a mini-nuclear reactor (It's an 80s car, gas guzzler, what the heck...). I added a big frame at the bottom to support the anti-G pods as well as landing gear when the car is parked (plutonium ain't growing on trees, ya'hear??).
At some point i thought "Man! This baby would look sweet with police decals on it!" So that's when i decided to paint it white and add the decals, the cruiser numbers and the red-blue lights on top.
