    Nice Car

    Gloss will happen when the time and money is right
    Most of the people I talk to have similar comments most want to know when I will be clearing it
    I think with it being flat it plays down the fact that my chrome on the car isn't the best and the interior isn't done

    That's purrrdy...

    I dig the orangeish/gold color on the roof against the green. I like how the roof color compliments the gold sparkle on the body lines in the sun. That looks best to my eyes... Beautiful car.

    That would actually set it off completely!! Hit up Coopers Vintage in Burbank Ca for missing parts you may need. They have a bunch of excellent stuff at good prices!

    It looks wicked- with the glass out a little chop would be in order. Say 2"?

    How hard is it to get your rear wheels off with the skirts welded in? Contemplating the same on my 64

    There are PLENTY of cars, early 60's cars, in old magazine show coverage with WIDE whites......I dig 'em on that Caddy....
    Caddy's can pull off WWW's better than most other cars, regardless of year....now if this were a '64 and up Chevy/Olds/Mopar, etc, WWW wouldn't cut it.....

    That car is going to be out of control. The interior is amazing. Paint is awesome and the fades are super-nice. (but I agree about it being gloss)
