We must find a place to store and work on the vehicle. A storage space or garage. We currently have a small storage space for the vehicle but we could use more room.

With a project like this, details matter. We want to build a fitting Funeral Coach for First Responders. As with any vehicle that is 80+ years old, there is a lot of work needed to make it and keep it running properly and looking beautiful to honor our heroes. This is a list of some of the things we need or want to accomplish for this Funeral Coach. Any donation of time, assistance, labor, money, or resources will help us achieve our goal.
