    Flawless... just the way she looked when she rolled off the showroom floor; only 60k miles ago.

    My caddy finally got some paint after 20 years of owning it. I have had a bunch of cars in between. My good friend let me use his super nice paint both to paint it in. I did all of the body work and my best friend painted it for me. I think it came out nice. I stillneed to sand and buff and put it all back together.

    My '54--last registered in '77 before I found it 3-4 years ago. Been quite a process/experience on a poor-boy budget, but it's getting there...

    WOW!! I can't believe I read all 30 pages, but loved every minute of it. Well i am in the process of getting my hands on my first Caddy, and just think she is the sexiest thing I love all those big round curves. It is a 52' 4dr, I want to make her in to a custom, drop her low, possibly a chop, put some wide white walls on her and see just how sexxxy she can be. Any sugjestions?

    LOVE the stance : airbags?

  15. I think you should bring that 60' over here to Vintage Metal and let us massage the body a bit. Love them 60's!
     
  16. So cool. Drop her down, get her driving. Save the roof, them 4-door chops can be a real bear...and a long term deal.

    :)
     
  17. Im happy to say all the body work and rust repair is finished on my 51' CDV. Painted the roof today...or rather yesterday and hope to buff it today :) Ill post picures as soon as I can get it in some sunlight. Im wanting to stay to the factory colors in a round about way; Dark blue top and light blue body.

    With all this Caddy love, im seriously looking to trade my Model A Roadster project (which had come to a dead stop) for another Cadillac. Possibly a 59? :)

    Hope there aren't anymore '65's or newer. They aren't cool enough for this board. The mods said so.

    Here's some pics of my '56 Coupe deVille.
    I've owned it for over 10 years now. I got the car from the original owner's estate; I remember the old man driving this car around town when I was a very young kid; the car seemed so big....and long...like a locomotive. The car still only has 63k miles. I've lowered it some, nothing too radical, and managed to keep it riding like Caddy should.

    ...and some ideas that I have for a few classic customizing ideas for my '56. Photoshop is a very cool tool to use to get some ideas generated! And it costs nothing to mod your car...lol....which is exactly what my budget allows for right now! Wish I could add some nice wide white walls to the car....but the budget gods are not on my side right now. Can you spot the mods??
