33 Cadillac Towncar
This is another of my old builds that I had saved all the parts that came off and carried from house to house for years.
For some reason I had shaved the moulding off the bottom of all the guards and I had put a set of inappropriate mags on it. Fortunately I had kept the stock wheels and some trim parts that never got added originally.
After stripping it down I had to add the moulding around the bottom again and remake the one exterior door handle that I lost, I decided that the bumpers needed to be reworked as well. When looking at ref photos, I noticed that the bumpers are bars rather than a solid piece as depicted in the kit, this meant I had to thin them out from the back till I got through. And other than a little wiring it is now virtually OOB.
Thanks for looking.

Re: 33 Cadillac Towncar
That looks like it was very nicely restored by your grandfather, and a great idea if you replicate it,
can't wait to see the model version. Â
That is just so awesomely done and detailed Antwon, it looks so real. Â Â

Nice one bro, looks 1:1 in the shed dio.
So if my memory serves me correct this is a reverse rod project, ie: was a rod, now restored to stock?

I have built this as a wedding car and matched it with another 32 Caddy. I like the colour choice, nice build.
