J/F resin 1946 Chevy Hearse

[BIGTRUCK]

While waiting for parts on another build I decided to start one that Ive been wanting to do for awhile, a resin 46 or 47 ambulance or hearse conversion. The J/F hearse was easy cleanup and good fit, the ambulance is an unknown (to me) cast, also good fit and easy cleanup. I decided on the hearse.  The chassis is going to need a big stretch , the interior wont matter as I only need the seating area. The back will have a partition and new floor behind the seat. I have to check 3inches under for resin hearse items for the back. Of course a 46/47 Chevy by Galaxie will be the donor. This model is a long one , 10 inches bumper to bumper.

The Halloween decorations are starting to pop up at the shops. Check the Lemax stuff out. They're usually around g scale. Found a couple of skeleton bandito dudes a few years ago. Maybe some of these might suit your build.

I got the frame stretched out where it needs to be and even tho' you cant see much of the rear area with the body on, I still put a full floor in back. The donor was an Aero Sedan builder so everything gets cut down to fit. The donor did not have tires or wheels so I tried my hand and cast a set.  Long way to go on this one.

Nice job so far, I built one a few years back, I'm interested to see yours when it's done.

When I was deciding on the color I knew I didnt want basic black, so with some research I found out back in the day (especially the 30s) there was many colors ,even 2 tone. I went with maroon and the side carved scroll work in hull red to offset the maroon. You can see the passenger side is done in hull red, the drivers side is yet to be done. When all the side chrome is on it should set it off , hopefully. Alot more to go, about 1/2 done, but atleast the cutting and fitting is done.

Interior and chassis completed. You can see the difference in the stock interior tub vs. the stretched interior tub.
