Back on the Econoline build, so the bed has been slow, but got the shingles painted, the pillars primed, and the background painted black. [IMG]...
We might go one better than that. I would like to get a back roof section from the same style pick up and have just a few inches sticking out of...
Finished siding and trim. Gonna move the bed in before we paint it. [IMG]
Good Point.
Thanks for all the nice compliments. I figured I better get it done while they are kids, they grow so fast.
I got the boxes all finished and the roof only needs a few more shingles. All the electrical is done, with 2 new outlets, and 2 sconces on the...
I like it...
I know, not a lot getting done, but a little bit every night. Front panels for the pillars. [IMG] [IMG]
:d:d
Yes sir, that is my hearse before I tubbed and ladder bar'd it.
I hear ya brother. She is past the point of even thinking that there is a change of her car getting in the garage. And with 8 other cars...
Thanks for the nice compliments, I love the hearse story. When you get right down to it, it is just a car. I think they will be able to sleep...
Got most of the shingles done on the roof last night. [IMG] [IMG]
Mine are both on the second floor. I built the beds so the they can be taken apart with a 7/16 wrench. They come in 4 parts that one guy can...
Sounds like a car bed would round out the collection. Good Luck and keep us posted.
I will be working some long hours for the next few weeks, so progress will be slow, but I did get the facing on the roof last night. Cement board...
Thanks a lot. I own it because I have always thought that hearses and ambulances were such a unique vehicle. I am not a weirdo that likes Goth...
We have to be quiet about the hearse around here, she did not roll off the assembly line until 1967, and that is not welcome around...
If I could only be so lucky!!!!!
Very cool. The world would be a better place if we could all sleep in our cars....
I have had the idea for a while, but always had so much other stuff going on. My wife told me if I don't do it soon, they will outgrow the beds....
No real plans for it right now, it was just such a cool front clip, I had to have it. No hood with is, but I will find something cool to do with...
I bought a front clip off a 1958 Desoto Firedome, and a rear clip off a 1959 Caddy, wife said NO WAY. So the Cadillac couch went into the attic,...
All very cool ideas. My very first idea was to have it on air ride. I was gonna plumb air down to the basement and have a compressor down there....
The son that I am building the 56 Ford Bed for is 4 years old. My other son, who is 2, had to have one, so we got him a bed off a 1946 Chevy....
Started framing out the garage in his room. Wired in lights for each side of the garage, and will do shingles on the peak. Put a dimmer switch...
Welded some angle iron for the bed frame, and put the mattress and blankets on for a test drive. Bed is ready, now just a sanding job, and a shot...
I put the header and the tailgate back on, and was able the keep all the Ford Script even with narrowing 12 inches. [IMG] [IMG]
Took the bed sides off and narrowed the header and tailgate about 12 inches. I cut the rims and tires that came on the trailer in half to fit...
I put the Econoline on hold for a bit so I could get a bedroom set made for the kid. He is growing so fast, if I don't get it done soon, he will...
