I took the whole front clip off because the bumper support was sheared off the car and had to be fixed. Also made it easier to work on the frontend. So right now its more of a dragto-1. And the exhaust is only two feet long so it is super loud. I also built my kid an ecto of her own.I was going to say the vehicle in the last video doesn't quite look or sound the same as the others

I think you could swap the botten bumper onto the 61 but u would have to take the center bar and grill offactually, im very curious as to the doors on these cars, since so much of the front needs modifying to fit 1959 panels, whats the situation on the drivers doors? are they 1960 sedan doors or coupe doors or custom? its obvious that they arent 1961 sedan doors, what did they come off of?

U can swap out the 61 core support but i found it easier to just modify the 59s.I'm going to kindly disagree. There are very little differences between the '59 and '61 commercial X-frames. The '61 doesn't have any sort of strut bar I've seen. If you have a picture of the strut bars, I welcome you changing my belief. A high-top roof was optional. Both my '59s have jump seats, but the standard 48" roof. They were both ordered as "duplex", or combination ambulance/hearse cars instead of the standard funeral coach without jump seats. High-tops were only for ambulance-specific applications. Limo-style refers to there being windows all around instead of landau panels.
I know there are high and low tops. I have heard people describe limo style hearse too but i am not sure if that is the difference or not. What i find crazy is urs has the jump seats so it should be designed to have a taller roof. I kinda like the way ur roofline looks. Looks cleaner than the taller roofs.
The dash on a 61 is suppoesed to be different but i guess miller used left over 59/60 dashes for a few years. I had bought a 61 parts car (not hearse) and it had a different dash.
