59'CADILLAC *final update?*

Hi all, started this today to get away from my gas van, ( paint keeps playing up).
Its going to be a basic but detailed build.
Going with black and chrome with a bright red interior and chrome spoked DZ's and sitting on its belly.
The kit has power steering, a/c compressor and a compressor for the air ride suspension, all heater hoses and cruise control unit under the bonnet to plumb and wire up so there will be lots of detail to try and do.
Interior is bright red, not pink as the pic looks.

Hmmm good name for it then ...Gravel Rash!

Gotta love a big Caddy barge

Cool!

That's one very cool Caddy in the making

thats starting to look very cool....

Looks awesome so far DeeCee. Only way to have 'em-On guts!

I'll be watching what you make of this.

Great start mate.

The last era of American chrome and fins - what a decade the fifties was. Love this Caddy - I'll be watching your progress.

Hey guys,
gone cross-eyed, but the engine is plumbed, power steering, a/c lines, generator, starter,3 carbies and made a distributor and plug leads, will let it all dry so i can put some boots on the plug leads and fit the exhaust tomorrow night.


that will do tonight, can't see straight at the moment, will wait for the eyes to uncross

looking good so far

It's looking good

Got a bit more done, interior is finished and the undies are done.



Paint body tomorrow hopefully.

Luv ya work Dale. Still recon its pink tho !

look's good

Just a hint of what it will look like, need to block the paint back and repaint as it is a crap body for black, doors are not molded flush and lots of wooples in the body panels, oh well, it was cheep.

Will get the paint done and then i will see how much chrome i will add, probably not the side stripes,?? i like the black.

Thought this one was going to have a red body on it black look's good too

Thanks Allan, been going slowly on this one due to some more renovations in progress, so only do the odd half hour here and there to relax a bit.
Motor is done and in the chassis, body painted, BMF'd and polished,
wheels on and she sits on the ground with nothing actually touching.








this should be the last update, next pics should be in the showroom, fingers crossed.

Looking great DeeCee, love that body and interior.

I promised myself I would not do another black car. Its one color I have no joy with (But I love it). Building a Tiger Shark for a mates 14 year old daughter and I have been TOLD it HAS to be black and white (She is a Swan Districts supporter) so I can only hope (in vain) to get a finish like yours.

Looking forward to seeing this in the showroom mate.

great job on it
