the fc gets a visit from the doctor

g'day hearsefans, havn't been able to get on here lately as hearseboy has recently got his own computer and has been hogging my modem, so i've commandeered it for a few minutes to check up on the latest hearse happenings. due to all the rain lately i havn't been able to get any of them out which is a shame as we've missed a lot of car shows, but it's given me the opportunity to give my old '58 fc holden a freshen up. the engine in it has been tired for years so time for a bit of a liven up along the lines of a big yella terra head, cam, 4 barrel holley, bored out extractors, roller rockers etc, consequently it now goes like stink so with that little job out the way and if the weather lays off a bit i can get back to the hearses, been trying not to look at ones for sale but am thinking about replacing christine with another one but parting with the ol plymouth will be hard but sacrifices have to be made. as you can see even the patio area has become a new carport for the fc after it got booted out of it's garage in favour of lenny a while back, although lenny is one of my favourites so it wasn't a hard decision to make, just makes working on things by the back door rather awkward. till next time. [ when i get my modem back again ]

christine

g'day hearsefans, now if your into hearses theres a fair chance your a fan of horror movies and books as well, i've been a stephen king fan since the early eighties and one of my favourite films is christine, who could resist a killer car ... HELL YEAH, anyway unfortunately poor ol christine was a plymouth and any one who knows me knows how much i hate anything made by chrysler, but a few years ago i made an exception and bought a christine project car sight unseen from colorado usa. three months later it turned up and i set to work creating my very own christine, thats not christine you may say, in the movie it was a 2 door but in the original novel it was actually written about a 4 door 1958 v8 belvedere sedan which this is and i wanted to recreate the car i read about all those years ago, even down to the original california number plates and keyring which i found on ebay. unfortunately not haunted or posessed in any shape or form but fun anyway, so here she is my tribute to stephen king and christine. till next time.
