what it doesnt look right or its just creepy to have in a casket? i am pimping my ride a bit just like the guys with the lowriders if you watch " munster go home" when they rebuild the drag u la the casket has the same pattern (only on half the lid) looks kinda kool looking
got my block back yesterday will start putting that back together this week everything seems to be going as planed i think even if i had a garage it would be darn cold to work in right bout now even with heat. only 2 more weeks and this winter is history i hope then hello springtime

oh little up date on my build we added more steel to the steering, added some gusets to each corner of the frame for a added support. i was thinking of adding some diamond plate to cover the steering rod and set gauges on top, with a key switch on bottom just wanted to see what the seat and some velvet looked like with the floor . test fit the top section of the lid. also put on the plastic or foam trim around the top of the lid putting a different patteren along the bottom then filler along the edges and prime jeepers creepers its coming along all the time is this gonna be a kool ride or what?...
of corpse it is

a few more pics
