Thread: So excited.. starting on the hearse

Tweet

So after a long, wait like a year, and getting back from my cruise to Bermuda, I got started on the hearse this weekend. I am so excited. I have been gathering the materials and studying all the plans made available by this great forum. Thanks evilbob and all the others, I hope mind will come out as good as all of yours!!!!!! Most of the materials I have gotten from friends throwing out wood or from large crates from work. So far I have only had to buy the flanges for the wheel construction, and WOW I can not believe how much the cost of these have gone up and the wheels from Harbor frieght for 17.99 each, not too bad! So, here's a look at the begininng:

Looks like a good start. Keep the progress pics coming.

How exciting!!! I love the old horse drawn hearses! Can't wait to see more!!

Looking forward to following this thread. Looks like an awesome project!!
