Boss Hogg '70 Cadillac Deville Convertible

[Andrew D the Jolly Roger]

CB radio work.  Found one scene in the series supposedly showing the radio in Boss's Caddy.  Mounted on a metal bracket.  Made the bracket and the support arm from strips cut from a soda can.  The rest is scratchbuilt from plastic and fine copper wire.

Looking good, nice save on the steering wheel, and the CB really looks the part. 

I like your liquid masking/cutting trick. I use liquid mask all the time, except I trim out edges with ultra fine masking then use the liquid mask to fill in tough areas that would be next to impossible to use masking tape. I'll have to try your method, thanks for sharing.

Finally got around to finishing.  The classic/iconic steer horns on the roof was the last item to scratchbuild.  Here's how I did it:

Is that a fuse with wire thru it? Awesome idea, great build.70's hard to find, and nicest Caddy build I've ever seen.

Excellent idea for the horns.

Discovered my guess at the CB setup was spot-on! And, what they show in the photo I posted above back in July apparently truly is the actual CB set used in the actual car; look at the support legs underneath it propping it up....found it in a scene from an episode in which the criminals were disabling everyone's CB's....
