Features Dave Stuckey's funeral service information

Whoa....those are some insane cars!

I'll say a prayer for him tonight.

 

Hang in there Mr. Stuckey!

 

Thank you Mr Stuckey your creations have helped to influence many a youngster. You can just barely see the Little Coffin to the right.

 

Plenty of good work in his life. I hope the end is not painful.

 

Please pray for his friends and family, he will be missed.

 

Sad news. Seems like the last few years we have lost some great kustomizers and kustom enthusiasts in July. Definitely puts a kink in the great time of year we know as summer time.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
Vaya con Dios, Mr. Stuckey..........E

 

One of the nicest guys you could ever meet.

 

This was for sale not too long ago

 

Rest In Peace Dave Stuckey, your Lil Coffin was and still is, one of my favourite customs.
Thank you.

 

I feel so lucky to have been able to receive a firm handshake from this gentleman at a show years ago. He was one of the primo builders. RIP Dave

 

RIP Dave

 

Godspeed, Dave Stuckey. My condolences to the family and friends.

 

Sad day in Kustom City.

 

RIP Dave....

 

Dang! Lost another legend in the hobby.. RIP Mr. Stuckey.

Dave

 

Rip Lil Coffin

 

I heard the Little Coffin is the top seller of all time Models in kit form. I still have mine.

Dave is one of those people that way to many people know nothing about him.

 

Condolences to the Stuckey family and friends on the passing of Dave.

Thank you @straykatkustoms and the others for sharing Dave's legacy. He was a very accomplished man.

Regards,
Stogy

 

I always liked his original version of the '32. Rest in Peace. Bob

 

More kool pics from www.carnut.com Pictures taken 1984 when Dave won the King of Mercs.

 

Larry Wolfe bought it. It is back in Wichita now.

 

Thanks for this, Mick. Sad news indeed. Dave was truly an icon in his own right.
I got to meet him a few year's back...sadly, his health wasn't good enough at the time for us to do an Interview. But, just spending some brief time with him was a real pleasure.

My prayers to his family & friends.

Some good info (including some great pics of the 'Coffin II he was building at the time!).
RIP.

 

Sorry to hear this. Rest In Peace, Mr. Stuckey.

 

RIP Mr. Stuckey. Another hot rod legend in heaven.

 

May he rest in peace. He was one of the first customizers that I followed when I first became a car guy at an early age.

 

The Wichita Eagle has a story on Dave...

A sad loss indeed. A fine man who leaves behind a legacy of fond memories and bold, creative work.

 

Spent 4 years in Wichita, lived close to Starbirds shop, passing it every day on my why to the air base there. Saw what was to become the LiL Coffin in its many different builds through those years. Really, it in my opinion is the best hot rod/custom EVER Built, (Ala Kart and it tie) So, so many truly great cars from Dave through the years. Talent like his can't be even close to being replaced. RIP Dave you were and still are the greatest.
