Black Widow Hearse

I will try my best to explain how I did this, but it was a "build as you go" project for me. There was no specific size scale I went by, just cut, build and hope it fit.
Eventually, I would like to animate the wheels on it so that they turn. Most of the materials were either given to me, stuff that was laying around or dumpster diving treasures. The only materials I did buy were the plywood for the wheels, the luan paneling for the sides, the heavy window plastic, plastic chain, a set of cat eyes, clothes from the Salvation Army for the driver and the post toppers/finials for the spider adornments on top of the hearse.
Now on to my mad creation that I call my Black Widow Hearse featuring Rig & Mortus.

Step 1: Create a box frame

For this I used pressure treated hand rail pieces and the deck spindles that were going to be thrown away.
On the inside bottom of the frame you will want to add a piece of 2x4 or 2x6 wood that will be used for attaching & supporting the driver's seat.

Thanks! He is one of my favorite props! He's kinda like my buddy cause he rode in the front seat of my car with me on a trip to Michigan last year! You should have seen some of the looks I got!! LOL!!

Love it! My problem would be storing it all. My neighborhood would have a fit if I left it up year round. Hmmm. Good idea.
