Will Trent's 1973 Porsche 911 Targa

[mrmike]

Finished! My Will Trent 1973 Porsche Targa. I think I used a 1984 model and converted it to a 1973 model. Not my best work, but a decent representation of Will's Porsche.

Good timing on finishing that too, just saw an ad for Season 2!

Nice looking Porsche, and interesting graffiti/vandalism.  Who the heck is Will Trent?

Tv show on ABC. He's GBI cop. Georgia Bureau of Investigations. He took down a bunch of crooked APD (Atlanta Police Dept.) cops and they vandalized his car. You should watch the first season it tells everything about him over the season. He was an orphan and so is Angie, she's APD and they hook up regularly since the orphanage. He's dyslexic and is a savant. He sees things at crime scenes that no one else notices. It's a pretty good show actually.

Great looking car Mike. Now you need to make a new one without the graffiti on it. I saw the last episode the other night where Angie gets kidnapped. In an earlier scene they show Trent and Angie pull into the orphanage in this car and the graffiti is gone.

Thank you everyone!

dwc43, I had debated with myself over having the graffiti or not and I chose to go with the graffiti on the side since that is the way the car was in the beginning of the show.  It shows how he is disliked or even hated by the APD (Atlanta Police Department).  If you don't remember, the car was repainted for nothing by Paul Campano.  I'm not sure if I would do another Porsche 911 Targa.

Anyone can build that car, but the graffiti is what made it special to the first show. Glad you picked that version. More or less just joking about building one without it.

I figured that you might have been.  I'll stick with my reasoning not to build another though.
