jerseyjunker1 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) i did this car for a friend of mine who is a grave digger by trade.he wanted something in his line of work with this 1/18 scale precision miniatures 1966 caddy hearse. this is what i came up with. story goes. the owner of this funeral buisness in 1969 was not cooperating in paying his insurance so on his way to the funeral a car drove alongside of his driver side on a lonley stretch of road and opened fire on him. the car went off the road into a ditch and down a long hill and came to rest on a rock wall.it was not found untill 43 years later by a hunter. this is how it looked when found. hope it's not to morbid.lol i hope cranky approves Edited January 26, 2012 by jerseyjunker1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62rebel Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 reminds me of a movie about some Texas Ranger finding the "other shooter" from the JFK assassination out in the desert.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasFinest Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Great story, messed up ending though. I guess he should have paid his bills!! I wonder what the reaction of the hunter was and what the family that lost their loved one thought. Model looks amazing, the skull on the hood and the casket sticking out is awesome! Nice work all around bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Not only is it cool and DIFFERENT, but it is also refreshing you are free to post such builds here. In other places, this kind of subject is banned because it would be considered too dark and scary for the children all over the world who would have terrible dreams and whose parents would start to write in saying that they are very upset that such ideas are being promoted on a model car forum.

crazyjim Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The pic you posted of yourself, Dr. Cranky is something that would give kids nightmares. This is a very well done build/dio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimaxion Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I ammamazed again . No more morbid than life itself . Lesson taught , lesson learned . The Family who's remaines in the casket have been lost for the same amount of time looking for closure also . Well thought out , planned , and "executed" . Thanx ..

Like the diorama and the (what a shame you took such a cool diecast) caddy is awesome. I'm asking myself, how do you wreck a diecast that it comes out as this one? Its a miracle to me. Great work!

Jon Cole Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Great build! How about sharing how the body mods were done? Did you keep the original paint, or has it been refinished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
