59 Caddy Hearse Mod.

I’ve been working on this one for a bit. 
I’ve always wanted to do a hearse and this kit fit the bill. 
I opened the hood up and added the motor and drivetrain. 
The plan is to add led headlights, taillights and interior lighting.

Cool! With a pair of 4-bubbles it will get you to the gates on time.

I have never seen this kit before. Does it include parts for a stock ambulance?

Yes, but it is a curbside kit. No engine or trans.

Waiting on the hood but thought I’d update the progress. 
This kit had all kinds of fitment issues before I cut the hood open and just got worse from there. The chassis was warped about 1/4” I tried putting it in hot water and reshaping it but ended up having to twist it and glue it in the body. 
The points where the roof rack was supposed to mount showed up in the paint… I had tried to smooth them out but my body work kind of sucks. 
The fuel tank is the battery holder for the lights and works good. 
All in all it was a fun project but this following after the MG I am looking forward to something much more straight forward.
