Coffin car build

2 minute(s) of a 43 minute read

got the bottom of the casket cut to fit the frame and over the transmission .had to tilt the steering box back so it would have the right height at the driver seat. have to add a few more braces for support. hopefully my front tires get here tomorrow., nice that you can track an item and the last place it shows is battlecreek mich. on the 13th.delivery date is the 19th havent lost anything yet. but dam usps keep your records up to date.

i know mine wont be like Barris' drag u la as built for the munsters that must have been very hot car to drive with the engine in the same space as the driver. if you go into www.musterkoach .com site and look at the pics of this car during filming of hotrod herman they show some sort of cooling equipment on the front of the car . and barris had one of his guys cut the fan blades to fit that would alter the cooling plus along with the small radiator opening its a wonder it didnt cause a lot of trouble during filming the tv show or the movie cant do everything in one take.....thats why im putting the engine on the outside of the casket. incase of any mishaps like a small gas leak during first start up at the carbs ( things happen) inside the casket and you never get the smell out plus why hide all the chrome parts over heating would be my big concern
