It's unusual! Might look better all one color. Is the front end off of a Riviera? There's a body line on the front fenders that doesn't continue when it hits the door, maybe you could make it fade out before the door. A full hubcap up front might look better than red wheels.

It's a little kooky looking, but it sure will get noticed. If your wife loves it, that's all that matters.

 

yeah its a 72 riv front end on a 73 cad,and 57 stude sky

 

It's different but I like it! Especially the Riv front end. I had a boat tail and they are attention getters stock. What I really liked was that barn you had it parked in front. If I only had space like that in San Jose. Keep the Rivs (even parts of them) on the road.

 

I think you need a trim piece tho devide the roof from the body, looks kinda strange floating there. The skirts need to be black also, and yeah caps on the front. Other than that its a kooky caddy
Have fun!

 

i just so happened to be listening to johnny cash's "one piece at a time" . lyrics kind of remind me of your car .

and it just so happens to mention a 73' caddy engine . I think the car looks good but i don't think the paint scheme is doing it justice. But if "Momma's happy" i think your in pretty good shape.

 

i think its pretty cool looking,i think it would look better if the wheels were gold or black though.

What ever floats your boat. If the little lady likes it then Mission accomplished!

 

Change the paint and fade that front fender to body line!Other than that,it's a bit wacky looking..

 

Like others have said, if your wife likes it thats all that matters.

 

You asked..... The wife is always right.

I love it!!! The Caddy has a lot of potential of being a kool kustom. Love the
boat tail front end and the fins. The only thing that I don't like is the skirts.
They need to be painted black to match the car and extend them to the
back bumper. This will make the Caddy look longer and smoother.

Keep us posted on the progress......

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

I like it--- A lot!

 

Cooooooooool.

 

I like the Riv front.
But the '57 Studabaker fins????? In NOR-CAL????? Someone else can comment on what Im thinking about that.

I don't dislike it.

And if your wife likes it and you made it for her, then you don't really need our opinions, do you.

 

dare-to-be-different

 

wow i thought you were gona tear this car to shreds! thanks for be kind about it!~

 

Looks like it was fun to build, and fun to ride. The car, I'm talking about the car!!

It's the "Phatmobile."

 

I'd go for flush mount skirts, that thing would look 4 miles long

 

Dude cars not bad but get rid of that R word in your user name thought you'd be under the buss for that, not your ride .

 

I'd probably put some caps on it. Now go drive it.

 

I agree with Straykat....Longer skirts

 

I have very mixed emotions

 

Posted on the photoshop thread too.

 

I think it looks like shit... Hey you asked.

 

Hey! Put some hubcaps on that, you can't drive a Cadillac with your nuts showing. It's a Caddy, the Standard of the World.

 

thats awsome i love the tail end its hella mean,solid light color, longer skirts are definatly gonna be done,wow its looks so done its scary! thanks a lot!!!
