Its the INTENT that counts. I myself have considered a tribute build. I was working in Tampa in 2010 installing equipment into Tampa Police cruisers when I heard about the two officers that were killed during a traffic stop and the ensuing manhunt. Jeff Kocab was one of the officers.

I hope you dont mind but I gave your Tribute some exposure and sent a link to the build thread to 93.3 FLZ in Tampa for the MJ Morning show on Facebook. I dont know what if any help you may need or if you are aware of other tribute builds but I felt that this should be shared.
MJ is a big fan of the Blues Brothers and of Law Enforcement everywhere. His real name is Todd Shnitt.

I have been a lurker here for some time as I have limited funds and most upgrades to my pseudo P/T wanna be is my 1987 caprice daily driver. I love the builds going on here and have considered for sometime abut doing one of these Box chevys for a Law enforcement tribute build.

GREAT WORK so far... and keep it up. Any plans for showing the car at Local or state L/E functions? DARE?
Todd
Thanks for the encouragement and the support. I am greatful for any help I can get and love any exposure so thank you much for forwarding the build thread. Once completed, the car will actually travel all over. Of course I will be autocrossing and road racing the car whenever I can. It will be available to Law Enforcement Agency's as well as schools, festivals car shows, etc. In May of every year it will be driven to Washington D.C to attend the National Law Enforcement Memorial. Along the way, we will visit L/E agencies which have had officer's killed in the line of duty.

The car will also be used as a tool to bridge the gap between Law Enforcement Officers and at risk youth who grow up with a strong dislike of police officers. Should be a good time.

I can still use all the help I can to complete the build and raise money for my non-profit. If anyone out there can help, they can make a tax deductable donation on my web site www.inmemoryofthefallen.org
