Great video, this is one of my favorites on the old YT channel. AGS Glass in Bartlesville Ok. is my go to place for odd glass needs they are one of the few that will work with older cars.
Watching this vid for a second time. The jig you built for the engine fascinates me. It reminds me of the Erector Sets we used to get at Christmas. It appears though that you build your frame from memory or your mind's eye assisted you in its construction. Super cool. I'd like to know more about your background. You still amaze me.

Iam surprised Auto city doesn't carry it..Hmmm...I guess you've already thought about getting a regular caddy or other GM glass & chopping the windshield frame/roof to fit..After chopping a 51 buick(Auto city cut the windshield), I swear, I only want to work on flat glass cars.
That's going to be so nice when it's done, just need the windshield 2 rims and about a million other " little things" you'll be driving in no time! Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate your engineering/fabrication, humor, and work ethic. Kickass project you have! Your new wheel center caps need a Caddy crest. Whitewalls would look rad on this barge. Expensive, but 17” ww tires are available through Coker and DB. Don’t sell your 40. I love that coupe! Continue with the updates. I’m a subscriber.
A white walls are definitely in the mix. In the coop has to go so I can buy a truck. and possibly an additional project. Unfortunately, can’t keep them all.
Love the work you’re doing on the meat wagon. I had a 65 fresh out of service when I was much younger. Since I was still at my parents house and the cemetery was just over the fence of the back lot my mother had a throw down FIT. I had it parked sideways and spit shined when she arrive home from work. The cemetery prominently in the back ground it looked right at home. Not to be and no place to take it. Back then the only time anyone would view a hearse was when it was working. You were wierd beyond explanation if you owned a hearse for any purpose other than what it was brought into existence. I became unwierd and never owned one again after that 10 min. Motherly talk. 😂😂😂
If you had brought a customer front end, you would have probably changed and cut because it didn't work for you. So building your own probably saved you time and money, not only that the sense of achievement of a.job well. Looks awesome young man 👍. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
I do all my work in my garage don't have a shop only 20' X20' its enough to get my U.S. Army 1952 Dodge 3/4T 4x4 M37 Cargo carrier in with my tool boxes 2 benches on either side of my garage and a couple roll around tool boxes. You do a lot of great fab work in that shop of yours but you know we all could use more room. Thanks for the video.
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. Good day sir, most people do not realize the work that goes into building or up dating a vehicle with with newer equipment ! My hat is off to you ! 🧰🪛⚒️🔧🍩☕️👀😎👍
solid progress mate .. you looked buggered by the end. just dont go taking a nap in the back of Mabel .. may end up 6ft under. keep the videos coming .. cheers from Australia 🍻🤘
Wish I had been there to help you move the hearse around. If it’s any consolation I was sitting here in my recliner grunting to help as much as I could.
That working rod inside the frame was there to drop the oil slick during a chase, the hurst was put on the wrong frame, lol That would have been a rattle that would drive you crazy Looking for it If you ever fine out what it was for I sure like to know I will start my research to figure it out First time I ever saw it so you have a new subscribers because of it
Man, I'd really try to fit the 2600lb bags on the front if you can find a way. I'm running 2500lb bags on the front of my 56 Buick and I have to have way more psi than I like running to get it to ride height. And I'm guessing the hearse weighs significantly more. Love the build though! Hope I end up with as much skill as you eventually!
Yeah I’m feeling the same way. I need to find something different I think. Once I get all the weight back in I’ll figure it out. I had the same 2500lb bags under my 51 mercury and wasn’t super happy with them. Ran 80psi. I put 2600 lb ones under my 50 merc ran about 40psi. Road a little soft.
What bags are those? Airlift dominators? I have been having great luck with the slam specialties bags. They don't bulge at all so it's easier to fit them in some places
Their airlift. after spending some time yesterday, I was able to get the 2600 pound bags to work. Definitely gonna be much happier with the larger bags. Hoping to have this thing as a roller again this week. And thank you. Trust me I have no skills, just some experience and not enough common sense to talk myself out of things.
Enjoying this build. Can you give me your opinion/review of your plasma table set up? I am in the market but wavering between a quality band saw set up vs. plasma table. What is your rig? Thanks for the great content. Are you set up with Patreon?
Mine is a lightning table. They were I business for like 5 minutes. It’s 10 years old now. I use bob cad for programming and a hypertherm 65 amp plasma. It will cut 3/4, I would love to replace it with a fastcut table. It’s definitely worth having as it opens many doors. Personally a cnc plasma is more versatile than a band saw as you can put a router on it and do wood as well.
Looking at that front clip you ever think about changing up the headlights on that caddy graft some eyebrows from a tri five fender just to make people know something's not right but unable to tell what
If somehow Dan Ackroyd could know about your project, that might be neat? Dan actually knows a lot about these cars. Maybe he could give you some real pointers on how to go about getting parts??
May I ask where abouts are you located, It sounded as if your in Texas or close to it, Just curious and if you rather not say for obvious reason of unlikely types showing up I get it You don’t know me but maybe we will meet at a show sometimes But I really need to watch more of your videos I see some learning this old man needs to pick up on
Might check with Counts Customs out of Las Vegas. He is in to old Caddy Hursts. They may know where you can get a windshield. Might cost out the nose. Lol
Great job. Great fab. How much diffrence in the window. Could you recut the body frame to fit. Do you know Caddy Girl. She breaks a few olddys . Send her a mail. Good luck man. These companys are surviving on money they take from people then tell you imposible in the next email. This is free overdraft. Could be sitting on a milion of peoples money. Should be a law against. Good luck. 👍👍
@@Theoldironworkshop well as for Caddy girl. Maybe she knows about parts. Cut your loses. Modify. Or it gets broke in transport. .. we have faith in you. Good luck..have a good week. Thanks for video. Adiós. ,,👍👍
Gotta say the ripping of the skin on my arms is way worse now I'm on blood thinners! Takes way longer to stop the blood flow! Mabel is progressing nicely. Good luck with that eclipse; I'm sure everything will be fine.
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍 Their is a you lady in Long Beach, CA . RUclips Caddy Girl may be able to help you on windshield, it’s what she does . Goos luck ! 👀😎👍
Hi that mate the chassis had some shit in here had lests you got most off the shit out off it you met won't a air hose and blast out the rest of your chassis if you got that much Shit in the chassis . You are doing a great job mate it will the cool looking ride in the street mate as a mate I new your to cool for school bro one off his saying he was killed by a drink driver years go . You and lovely wife will be cool looking kustom ride mate so be safe guys
Might have been better to have had a front end suspension fabricated but once we take that fork in the road might as well proceed forward. But you have the luxury of coming up with your own design and not having to go and modify a unit that is fabricated somewhere else. Granted with the technology we have it can come pretty close to fitting but there is always some adjustments to be made.🥸👍👍👍👍👍
Nice work, I love watching this build come together.
Thanks!
Fascinating project. Thanks for including us!
Our pleasure!
So very interesting to watch.
Great video, this is one of my favorites on the old YT channel. AGS Glass in Bartlesville Ok. is my go to place for odd glass needs they are one of the few that will work with older cars.
I’ll check them out
Amazed at what you do!!!
Always wait for your updates!!
I appreciate that!
The wheels are very cool looking mate
Hopefully getting tires this week
Love the use of the motor and frame set up jigs. Thanks for sharing.
You bet
As Texan in the North Dallas area, I enjoy your work, craftsmanship, and humor. Enjoy the summer heat.😀
Can’t wait for the 9 months of summer

Spent 30 years as it commercial and industrial air conditioning mechanic. I’ve got a pretty broad range in building stuff.
I know that was a workout moving that tank around by yourself great video Sir as always

Thank you. I think I just try to show actual reality. It’s never like you see on tv
And I thought I was the only one ordering the same part twice !

They don’t care that particular one however I did find one this morning.
Eine Kiste in eine Kiste ist einfach genial😁
Danke für Ihre Bemühungen!👍🏻
Thank you
That's going to be so nice when it's done, just need the windshield 2 rims and about a million other " little things" you'll be driving in no time! Thanks for sharing.
Every project, takes three times as long and cost four times as much
Getting closer and it looks great so far looking forward to see it finished
Thanks
Truly a master craftsman to actually think something out and manufacture it, really talented.
I’m just a good guesser
man i need the begining. want to say your awsome buildinng 1949
Yeah it’s a long series. Probably 10 more to go.
It's gonna be a cool rig.You should be proud when you're done
Hope so

Looking good! Parts are always a PITA to find and get from suppliers.
See you next week!
Thanks! You too!
She’s coming along nicely 👍 at first I thought that the frame was full of mud dobber hotels 😂😂 just Texas clay 🤪 cool jig setup on the front end 😎
Thanks 👍
Can't wait until this shapes up. Enjoying the process!
Thanks

Nice job man! I had some good luck finding odd glass from bobs classic auto glass in Oregon. Old school guy who knows vintage stuff .

Great Job building ur own front end for ur Hearse. looks cool..
Thank you
That is what you call a future noise or rattle, glad you got it now🎉. 😂
wow man i enjoy watching your work great stuff ,and great metal work ,thanks this a big job and a cool hearse ,man
Much appreciated!
Hard and great job, congrats.
Thank you!

Ha. Could be a “dead ringer”
Beautiful work too.
Thank you very much!
Awesome work. Love the videos
Thank you!
You worked on the ‘36 Ford chop so long that working on the hearse seemed like a good idea? The mind can play funny tricks on a person.
I’m always dodging projects. I’m also working on my 40 ford. And a 40 mercury shortly
I'm under the path of totality too. I hope you have clear sky's.
I think it’s going to rain. Kind of ironic
Awesome new video stoked your fab from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you!
Another great one!
Thanks again!
Wish I had been there to help you move the hearse around. If it’s any consolation I was sitting here in my recliner grunting to help as much as I could.
I had to take a nap after that. The age is catching up.
@@Theoldironworkshop I have many years on you and I was thinking that there is no way that I could do that much.

Mate you got pretty of room to build a great new workshop mate
Your high school shop teachers are making stained glass windows of you............keep going!!
That’s hilarious.
That's the best use of those cheap HoBo Freight car dollies!
They actually work surprisingly well
like how you made the jeg for the frame it made it look easy with I knew it wasent
It really is the best way to do it. Makes everything is zillion times easier.

Hey mate love watching ur chennal, i was just wordering how big is your plasma table.

it’s a 4 x 4 with a 65 amp plasma cutter.
Looking at that front clip you ever think about changing up the headlights on that caddy graft some eyebrows from a tri five fender just to make people know something's not right but unable to tell what
I actually installed 52 Cadillac headlights on my friends 54 Chevy for the same effect.
Where did you get the ride height fixtures bolted to the lug pattern?
I made them.
Autocity classics doesn't have the glass? They've helped me with old caddy windshields
They have everything except the one I need
If somehow Dan Ackroyd could know about your project, that might be neat? Dan actually knows a lot about these cars. Maybe he could give you some real pointers on how to go about getting parts??
Possibly. I almost bought a ghostbusters copy. But couldn’t figure out how to pick it up

Yes. I’m currently taking to them
