This one sat half-finished on my shelf for quite a while, so I figured it was time to get it completed and off the list of stalled projects. 
Built stock, except I swapped out the standard slicks for a pair of wheels from a Lindberg Bugatti Royale. I liked that they gave it more of a "bigs n littles" look while adding some of that wagon wheel flavor.
Lost the side tassels along the way, but, oh well...
Thanks for lookin!

Oh wow!!!!!! That’s STUNNING! I’d be proud to say I built that! What a knockout!
Those rear wheels work really well on there! I really like the look - they look kinda fresh and new and old and just-right at the same time, that was a GREAT idea!
Nice photos too!

Definitely like the rear wheel/tire combo you've used , more of an updated stagecoach look !  BTW - where'd the neat little casket come from ? |

Lemax Spooky Town Coffin Set
I got them after Halloween for cheap, but they still have them on the site.
I was going to use one of the others from the set inside the carriage. It fit in perfectly behind the engine, but I would have either give up the gas tank, or make it look like one.
On the creepy side, compared to the kit skeleton, it's probably built for either a child, a pet, or maybe the bearded lady's husband caught one of the smaller carnie guys somewhere he shouldn't of been  |

Thanks much Jim ! Actually I stopped by Michaels over the weekend and picked up a set along with the headstones kabdriver mentioned . They're all on the small side but they'll come in handy ! Halloween stuff is already on the shelves so don't wait , Michaels Hobby Lobby and Walmart are all stocked up right now ! |
