59'CADILLAC ELDORADO

Hello all,
did this a few years back, all the 59 caddie kits i find are convertible, yet i prefer the shape "with a roof". ?? so i borrowed one.
Every thing else is pretty stock bar some engine detail, the paint is tropical green acrylic with a hint of candy yellow in spots, made a carby scoop aswell.







Do you know where the roof and glass came from?????

Nice build you have there Dale.
I've actually got one of these kits with a roof to build, I prefer it with a roof too.

Be stuffed if I can work out what the roof is off. Works though.. Whole package looks neat.

late model Impala with the pillars modified? looks good man

Cool Caddy,don't know if I like the roof or not.

That's the closest think I could think of too, 2000 model impala.

Thanks fella's, the roof is actually off Rick Dobertin's J2000 Pontiac pro streeter, usually only use the driveline from this one.
Very little mods needed to make it fit, just minor pillar work.

Good job.
Are those the supplied "chrome" decals?

Thanks ZEN, yes they are the supplied chrome decals, pretty thick and chunky to use, did not know about BMF back then mate.

'Nother nice build Dale. Interesting (in a good way of course) scoop. Cool kustom kruiser

from memory they r not exactly decals more like BMF thats been cut to the right shape so u can peel and stick ( may not have that entirely correct been a while since i did mine )

I'm pretty sure mine are decals. And as i've already been wrong once this week I must be correct.

I asked because I saw them while browsing my decal folder (yes, sad, I know) at the weekend and wondered how well they work.

I would call them a sticker myself, you peel the backing off and stick them on, they are very thick compared to BMF, and only really work well on a flat surface and also don't stick to well , would use BMF next time i think.

Thank you.
