Joker Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I decided to build Eddie Munster a Hearse ..eerr C-Cab for his own. Since building the Dragula,I went looking for a new project when I spotted the Chuck Miller's Fire Truck. Our own Chuck Most did a review on it. LINK.http://www.modelcars...=1 First off ..the mods. Frame Z'ed,body sliced,axles swaped from left over AMT 32 Vicky ,bench seat w/split back,rear doors,Buick Nailhead engine,fenders from Vicky widened and soon to be bobbed,skull shifter from Warhammer stash (thanks Ed Shaver).Still undecided on grill.. Going for a Cobolt Blue paint and silver scallops. James aka Joker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Looks good with fenders and those wheels. Appearance wise it's beat a Nailhead, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 A little update.. Made a split bench from a T-bucket bench and added storage bags to the backs.Then I added a stair/wheelie bar and a rear pan. I don't care for the oval single windshield..plus I also section the body. So I made a new windshield frame and a new dash. Then I added a Coffin sky light.

You will have to bring it over with you on Saturday for our next RAMS meeting/ Barrett jackson/ chilli fest. Rick in Richmond Let me introduce you to Spot Jr. He's a little croc from my parts stash..don't know what kit he's from but I like the "I'm from parts unknown" rep..LOL I also finished the Buick Nailhead...added a crossflow water pipe and an alternator w/bracket. The headers are from the new 32 Ford and the lakes are modified from the 53 Ford truck. James aka Joker p.s.
