    Actually, the more i look at it, the more i think it's just a waste.
    They could have gone for something more common, and not something pre 60.. y'know? Just my thoughts on it anyway.

    Oh okay, Yeah, Makes sense. I think it'd be alright for digging as a job, but to ruin it for the sake of an hours tv time is just stupid.

    I mean if I owned a company that needed a light duty digger and built something like that for the job then it would be good.
    But building it just to show off on tv is for fucktards.

    I think what hes saying is that if they built it to only dig the one time, for the show, then it is retarded. If it was put in service regularly, then its not so bad.

    I highly doubt this thing did any thing after the show. What a waste of a cool old coach. Nice shape too.

    That is the second hearse Jessie James destroyed. The first was a 73 Sideloader but it never got finished and was sent to the crusher, where it gave the crusher a fit. I can't find and pictutres but I did find a video.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrJQTQaLgQcEpisode Detail: Grim Ripper - Monster Garage

    A classic-model hearse, the 1973 Miller-Meteor Cadillac, is transformed into a car-crushing machine dubbed the Grim Ripper by the Monster Garage team. It features hydraulic arms and claws, and an auger to drill a hole into its victim."

    And I found a description but not much else.

    If it was done to actually be used for digging then it's all good, but if it was done just to do it then that's retarded. I like the paint job on it.

    started a topic Monster Garage hearse, 54 Superior.

    Monster Garage hearse, 54 Superior.

    Hey all,

    The other night a friend of mine was telling me about an episode on monster garage that they turned a 54 into a grave digger.
    I was fairly confident that the hearse they destroyed was like.... 70's something? I didnt watch the episode, just remember briefly looking at the end product.. Then it getting destroyed for it being a 'fail'
    So i then googled it once i got home to make sure he was wrong, which i was positive of. And well, I was, They ruined some kinda landau, superior i'd imagine, didnt look much into it, but fact of the matter it wasnt a 54.
    I then searched some more for a perhaps, Second edition, And well, There was one. It's a 54 Superior Limo, Side loader i think. Anyways they ruined it in my opinion, You decide.
