looks like a thrifty idea to me, but what do I know?
Todd is right, there are several people doing these conversions on limos, hearses, Escalades, etc. Interestingly enough, I asked a couple of Indiana funeral directors about this at the Milwaukee meet and neither of them were the least bit interested in the idea of cosmetically upgrading their current hearses or limos to make them look 10+ years newer. I thought with the price of new funeral cars entering the 6 figure mark that funeral directors would be flocking to do cosmetic upgrades on their cars but I guess I am wrong about that. There is a guy here in Indpls that will put a 2013 front end on an older FWD Cadillac and I just might take him up on that myself. Price is in the $5000-$6000 range to just do the front end.
