I just noticed this - by 'I've got an old cop car' are you referring to this Matador, or a real-life copcar?

For my CNC router, it has x-y travel of about 24" x 26", but I figured out a technique to carve longer pieces in y-dimensions. I have a variety of 1/4-3/4" plywood scraps and 3/4" x __ boards.

That MI weigh station looks a little elaborate, I was thinking more of a mid-size hut with a simple slanted roof. For a fueling station, probably a small hut with 2-4 pumps under an awning of perhaps 24"x24"? The awning could have islands for the pumps, CNC excels at making clean, repetitive shapes that would be a PITA on a jigsaw or other power tool. 3D-printed pumps and other detail items would be nice if we could get Skeeter some STLs?

As with most things, the devil's in the details, and I could rough-build a structure with my router, but the details are something that would stall me.
