1930fordpickup Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Al I rode in a White 1966 Cadillac Miller hearse/ambulance from MI to Daytona Beach twice. Rode like a dream in the back. Drivers seat was broke down pretty good by the time my buddy traded some work for it. 429 powered man would it cruise. We got plenty of looks on the way there and on the beach.

iamsuperdan Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Very cool. Looking forward to the end...result. I've always had a fascination with hearses. I want one, laid out on bags, license plate says "MRSCARY." Because after all, life's a grave. You've got to dig it.
Super28 Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 I just read a statement from David A. Gudzinas. It read "Each kit I build is really only practice for the next one". I like that. See, it's been about 20 years since I built one and I've been getting discouraged looking at everybody else's work because mine look bad compared to the. But I guess he's right, so I'll just plug along and try to get better. I'm going to put that saying over my work bench to remind me that I'll get better. Thanks David

thatz4u Posted July 27, 2017 Author Posted July 27, 2017 BMF work almost finished, clear parts were brittle so I'm making some of them. Having to use parts from the box to replace missing items
