mademan Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 alrighty as some of you from other boards know, I have quite a large collection of cadillac stuff, comprised of mostly Jo-han 66 cadillac hearses and ambulances. I got an idea the other day to convert an ambulance to a wagon, by modifying the interior to make it seat 6 (2 benches) here is where I am at..... btw the kit was sealed. I had originally planned to just use the front row, and use the wall of cabinets as a stereo enclosure. then after talking with a buddy he convinced me to add a second row of seats, which consisted of cutting away a large section of the floor. I now have to make lower door panels, and create the dropped floor. I had originally planned to use a larger wire wheel with a thin tire, but have decided to wait until I get a shipment of pegasus wheels. i will probly go with an 1109. the car will be kept as low as it can go, without the frame touching. I will update as I progeress. here are a couple sneak peeks at another project that I started, before I got ahold of all my hearses . I converted am ambulance. Cut the suspension apart so I could "lock it up" the trim was all done by me, using evergreen .020 square. I also formed the engine cover (like most new cadillacs have) from a chunk of what I believe to be aluminum. all comments, suggestions, and critisism is appretiated. thanks, mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert81 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 WOW! You are lucky to have even one of those Johan Caddies. Both look nice. I like the lowrider the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84vanagon Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Neat idea on the Cruiser. Isn't it neat opening old JoHan kits, you never know what color of plastic to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
