The CARthedral
LEGO builder and community member Meesayousa has unveiled the completed version of their dark, Gothic-inspired custom creation known as "The CARthedral." Envisioned as the ultimate ride for Count Dracula, this uniquely macabre vehicle blends automotive engineering with ecclesiastical architecture, taking a much darker path than the builder originally planned.
The vehicle features a V8 engine meticulously designed to resemble a church organ, complete with organ pipes functioning as air intakes and exhaust pipes styled like pedals. The interior includes a double seat in the front, a single seat in the back, and a coffin for dead weight. Fully functional opening doors and a hinged roof provide complete access to the interior. The builder modified the color scheme, front fenders, and front end—which now resembles a vampire bat—to ensure the pipe organ engine is fully visible. Notable details include large stained-glass side windows crafted from LEGO Technic brake discs and lights inspired by the classic spooky LEGO set "Adventure in Transylvania."
Meesayousa invites community feedback and suggestions for potential final tweaks, actively engaging with fans who want to contribute ideas to the project. For builders inspired to tackle their own ambitious custom automotive or spooky creations, it helps to keep your workspace organized with a LEGO storage organizer while you sort through pieces.
