I also started on my Vette/Van project. I used a 1960 vette and used my dremel tool with a saw blade by cutting out the trunk deck area and lid and by cutting the rear fenders in half lengthwise, this way I could still retain the body lines of the rear fenders. I was able to take the van/panel body of a grave digger monster truck and mate it to the vette. I gave it a chopped top and was able to angle the rear of the van. I will use sheet plastic to fill in the back panel area and incorporate a rear rolled pan.    |

That is looking BITCHEN! Definitely has your hearse-esque vibe. That'sd be a sporty way to get to the cemetery, huh? Kinda reminds me of that Harold & Maude Jaguar.

Things are floating for you! This looks good. . . I would like to see the back extend past the fenders a bit and. . . maybe a coffin in the back? It is very nice lines!
Your our favorite green haired monster clown!
Great Job
