Yeah, I got a 1964 Johnson for the 64 Plymouth when I had it. Re-lettered the fascia to look the same as the lettering on the trunk... Got lots of comments!

Thanks Jeff!! :thumbright:
No lightbar as of yet...still trying to source one. Have one contact with the correct series one which is in working order,but has no lenses for it.
Paint shop is on the case with sorting the paint and materials as i have paid them £500 upfront already. The color is Ford Fleet White.
The series correct sticker kit is on ebay for $75.00...i know the seller very well,so hoping for a little discout!! ;)

I also need the siren box & speaker which is a 'Federal Signal PA2OA Interceptor.

Thanks. :thumbright:
