Lil Coffin Bash

[badroadahead]

I bought a bag of Lil Coffins and parts at NNL East. I had been thinking about something like this for a while. I think I saw someone do something similar on a site somewhere.

I cut off the top and shortened it to fin on as a coupe. I needed to make it have a different look in the front so I cut it off and added the nose from the Beatnik Bandit. This will be a shortbed pickup Lil Coffin.
Here are some WIP’s and a mockup with tires and wheels. I may not use them in the final assembly but they are there so I can get an idea where I’m going. I haven’t set the stance yet.

Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

Cool! I'll be watching this one, Dave

That was exactly how I started.

I thought that narrowing the bed a bit might get away from the UTE look. The rear fenders might have to be widened a bit. But that was where I was going. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Here is the drawing.

Cool I like this great work so far. I am not sure about those tyres though.

So I guess you're trying to do kind of a ranchero build out of this pile of parts then, right ?

[SgtDRecon]

I like it. I have something that I am using a roof of one of Coffins

looks like you have a great start towards something like this.......

This is the picture I remember and I was using a mental image to model it after. Thanks!

Provided the Coffin bash comes out looking like the previous picture, I'd say it's a vast improvement to the original vehicle . At least it looks "Balanced " now . Thanks for the illustration too!

Nice work so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops.

Looks like a mean pickup! nice idea!

[TooOld]

Excellent idea for modifying the Coffin !
It gives it a completely different look , maybe even better !

[badroadahead]

Thanks guys.

It's been a little stalled due to model traffic buildup on the bench. I hope to get it cleared up soon.
