Re: The Best 1955 Cadillac build
Lookin great!
Are you going to be doing the paint? I guess you just used the body guy for the paint prep? All the body shops around here won't even look at a custom deal like that. They will only work on insurance stuff  Bill

Re: The Best 1955 Cadillac build
Even though the Caddy wasn't together I bet it still felt good driving it to the Cruize
night...........I hate deadlines and with your Caddy you've worked to hard to have a deadline ruin the joy of the build. Keep the faith and forget the deadlines, soon you will be driving one Kool Caddy.... Thanks for posting the update. Happy Trails, Mick

Re: The Best 1955 Cadillac build
I love this build! It was cool of you to drive it to that event as-is. More folks should do that, IMO!

Re: The Best 1955 Cadillac build
The Caddy is coming along great. The color looks really good. Can't wait to see it. Are you going to have it done by the GG show or Salina?

Re: The Best 1955 Cadillac build
Going to try to bring the 57 Ranchero I just picked up a few weeks ago down. I have a mountain of work to do on it to even be able to bring it but thats the goal.
