Thank you so much for sharing these. There's already production started on the fiberglass tops, although this one's not in my hands as it is someone generously helping me with them. These pictures will be helpful for the process of making them. The wagon is a great picture, I am only aware of three wagons they have that fit the timeline: - 78/79 Impala (in the mod) - 74-78 Matador (your picture, I will make this model soon) - 71 Satellite (I don't even have the sedan model, let alone the wagon. This will take a while I'm afraid) As for the chief car? That there thing is a 1970 or 71 Oldsmobile 88. LAFD also ran a bunch of 1968-69 models. I think it would be a pushing it a bit too far for this mod's timeline, however, that fullsize big barge of a sedan would be a really good inclusion as a civilian vehicle. I like the look of it.

Have a few more photos to share, the book had a picture of an early USAR trailer I'd like to share. Also found some photos of command 1 in the 2000s and one with the original semi, the original rig was replaced with a 1969 rig that was originally used for dozer transports.

Another suggestion: FBI SWAT/HRT

I have some pictures of the GMC tank wagons that may be useful if you decide to implement them in the future The last one is pne of the wagons after conversion into a helicopter tender, it is the only rear shot I've found. I do not know how the rear bed looks but it's probably similar to the yankee bodys on the GMC Brush rigs with 4 hose sections. http://www.usfirepolice.net/ca_california/ca_lafd/ca_lafd_retired_tanker.html there's also this page that has 2 good photos of these rigs.

I have some more photos to share, I have a couple photos of the crown rigs with fiberglass tops, one of which (Engine 99) has a factory top, there was 3 with a factory top but I have only found one photo. 256 is an interesting one aswell as it has the old deck gun and siren. I have also found a rig that the LA shops used 3 apparatus to create. I do not know how long this rig went on to serve afterwards though I also happened across a AMC Matador wagon, Looks almost like the same model as the matador in the mod already. (I will also note the photo is dated 1981 according to LAFDHS) I also came across this interesting LAFD battalion car, this would've been present at the culver fire in 76. I haven't been able to pin-point a brand or model yet.

In the past I think national guard wasn't going to be included because of the amount of work it would need, I can't say for sure now though I did find some photos that were quite odd, a few humvees present during the riots had steady burns mounted to them.

Are we allowed to ask how progress is going?
