31 Caddy Rod Empty 31 Caddy Rod

Post by Antwon Thu 14 Feb 2013, 3:54 pm

Hi Guys, this is my first post here so I hope I get it right.
This is a resto project I finished about six months ago, I bought it as a glue bomb at a local swap meet a couple of years ago, and decided that I wanted to rod it as I haven't see many Caddy rods, so why not!
It was defendered, channelled, fuel tank cut off chassis and I relocated it to the boot, which originally was a "Dicky seat" that had to be reverse hinged. Added resin copy 33 Caddy steel wheels with widened rears (thanks 70CUDATJ) then refitted the original 31 caps on them. The interior got flocking and a wood grain affect and all chrome work had to be redone in Alclad.
Hope you guys like it.

A real case of making a silk purse out of a pig's ear. Nice rebuild...and love the concept of a Caddie rod.

That is one cool rod, a bit of thought has gone into that, I like the colour combo.
Also welcome to the rat house.
