New Guy bought my wife a Hearse

[Donnie]

I'm the new guy (or FNG) and I am sure you will be hearing a bunch from me. My wife had always wanted a Hearse so I found her one and bought it.
It's a 1962 Superior (I guess you would call it a combo) Pontiac. 54K miles, been sitting for the last 20 years but still in decent condiotion.

She want's it in her favorite color, Tangerine Orange with silver accents, I should have her back on the road in a couple on months.

My full time job is Firefighter/Paramedic but if business keeos picking up my part time job as a classic car builder will become my full time.

My baby while not a hearse is still a car linked with death. She is a spot on clone of Christine. I built her myself. Here are some pictures of the hearse and my Christine.


























And a link to all my pictures

Hellooooooooooooo.

[Flymanj3]

WOW, the headlight shot of Christine suddenly gave me the chills (now I can't get 'Bad to the Bone' out of my head!!!)
With Christine as an example of your work, I can't wait for updates on the hearse

Welcome... and WOW again

Sweet plymouth man!! Thats what I was looking for when I found my hearse. Im thinking about selling my hearse to find a 58 plymouth, but havent made up my mind yet.

Nice 62 Poncho, I seen that one online, glad someone got it and are doing something with it. I have a 68 Pontiac myself. Is yours a Consort or a full size Hearse? I have a good bit of Pontiac knowledge rolling around in this head of mine. A tri-power set-up would be cool as hell a 62. Is that a 389 or a 421?

Orange may look good on a paint chip, there is going to be ALOT of orange paint on that Pontiac. That much maybe overwhelming. I was thinking of painting one of mine Chrome yellow because I like the color, but thought better of it, I didn't want it mistaken for a short bus.

BTW: 2-4BBLs on a Wide Block Mopar = Cool as Hell.

Thanks all, She fell in love with that color in 1996 when ford offered the limited 866 unit "tangerine" mustang GT.

Welcome to the board.....good to see another "alternative GM" owner!

[Donnie]

Thanks, I forgot to to reply to this, I havn't confirmed it but I am pretty sure it has a 389 and guess it is a consort being that it is 17' 6" bumper to bumper if that is what that means?

I am still learning all the Hearse terms.

Nice rig man, I will be interested in seeing the end result. I envisioned it in my head and the end result made me hungry for orange sherbert for some reason.

At any rate, the Christine clone is mag-fucking-nificent. Welcome.

Looks like an awesome project!

That Christine clone made me go in a corner and cry for a while

OMG CHRISTINE!!!!!!!!!! The love of my life. This is the movie watching as a child gave me a huge love for cars. I always wanted a Fury. Welcome to the boards.

[Donnie]

Thanks, I was just looking at your PJ site. I think that is one of the best programs going on yet. Thank you for being involved in that. I don't have the free time it would take to be able to work my way up like they talk about but I can spread the word about your work.

[Bob Kinee]

I can't wait to see the nd result on the pontiac. very sweet. And as for the Christine...it is beautiful...down to the liscence plate. That is my one dream car of dream cars. I will post up some pics of the two of them I saw side by side at a car show.

Welcome to the board. I think you should have the coach done by tomorrow, because I'm anxious to see what its going to look like.

[Donnie]

Thanks, In my opinion it will look like a giant creamsickle but the Wife will love it.
