There is an entire gallery of similar works at the source (which I though I linked in the original post, but probably either messed up when I posted the bus twice or deleted it while correcting it) at
If you ever drive by any of the small towns in the desert with populations under 40, you would be surprised how many abandoned cars you can find there. This is what Truckinman's photo reminded me of. This was achieved with some coloured lampbulbs, of course.
Update....Just heard back from Faded Crest, all is fine with him, but hectic. New job requiring many more hours than before and leaving him no playtime. Wanted me to send his warm regards and will try to drop in to say hi soon.
Hahaha
I see alot of cars in the hood like that. Typically driven by a hoosier mexican or a hood rat. Saw an early 90s S10 like that the other day....shame because it was a really nice clean truck otherwise.
No, it is a different one, it belongs to two friends (Husband/Wife)...Still, it IS a Hearse. These two are the same ones who own that '68 Limousine I have posted a few photos of before.
Aside from being on the Suburban platform and having that massive Chevrolet engine, the lifted Hearse is sort-of-stockish. The interior is essentially stock.
These friends' hearse though, has been a project they've has been working on for some time. Just got their 472 and transmission sorted out (Needs pulleys, which I have plenty of sitting around) but it's making strides in progress, unlike mine, which is sort of at a standstill (thankfully, they know someone who had some motor mounts, so they plan to go and check for me). It's pretty cool actually, because out of all of my Hearse Family, I am the only one who has ever actually seen this Hearse aside from the two who own it (Because I visited them whilst picking up my engine actually, since they live in that area)
I almost bought one once back in late 2009. For the $5k the guy wanted, it was in gorgeous shape. Aside from needing a slight touch up on the paint under the hood, I could find no problems with it. I recall discussing it with you ATT. Not sure if I've ever uploaded any photos (I know I still have them on the computer at home)
Instead, in my questionably sanity, I bought the Pontiac. Interestingly, it cost $2,500, even though it was literally a shell and had a seized engine, very little paint, lots of rust, no interior seating, carpet or door panels, the suspension was entirely useless, no exhaust, four dry-rotted or flat tyres and only one door.
Worth it. While I do prefer it to the Rebel, it would have been a worthwhile endeavor anyhow, just for the experience.
This is a mill in the Bajina Basta municipality in Serbia. It is located in a village named Zarozje and it is rather famous as the supposed home of Sava Savanovic, who is the illustrious and infamous first Vampire in Serbia, according to local folklore. He was supposedly living in the mill and feeding off farmers who would visit the region. The family currently owning the mill have been too terrified to go near it since owning it and as the decades have gone by, it fell into disrepair. It has now collapsed and the people of the area are rather frightened.
Miodrag Vujetic (the local mayor) admitted ”People are worried, everybody knows the legend of this vampire and the thought that he is now homeless and looking for somewhere else and possibly other victims is terrifying people. We are all frightened,”
Thereby, sales on Garlic have increased dramatically (Told you kids to buy stock) and plans have been put in motion to restore the mill ASAP. This notion, though strongly supported and funded by the entire region may have to wait, with winter looming around the corner and possibly the revenge of Sava on the locals for the destruction of his home, as though people lived in the relative area, they only did so as there are no reported attacks in the recent years, so they felt they had been safe. There were even tourists who would visit the property where the mill was (during the day only, of course)
The local council has warned locals about venturing out after dark, being sure to take all precautionary measures to defend their homes and issued a public health warning, due to "Risk Of Vampire".
Across the globe, there are men/women in kilts and boots, taking planes to western Serbia.
Love it aside from the leather roof. A bit much for my taste. LOVE the shaved rear treatment, though. A bit awkward with the door tops painted the burgundy color though. Should have done over the top of the big windows and the D pillar, or just done the B and C pillars and left it at that.
Bagged wagon though... :drool:
