Customs build of my 62 caddy coupe deville

I've been on here for a few years, but... I've got some down time at work, so... thought I'd start a little build thread for my car... lol

here's a pic of when I got it

slapped some '56 caddy wheel covers on there

had it half ass painted satin black

 

then... I wrecked it

 

annnnnnnnd.... now it just got out of paint, fixing all body damage, and complete color change...

found this under 2 layers of black


roof being prepped after


shined up the bumper a little while it was off...


and the base coat on the roof sprayed...

 

and here she is waiting to be put back together last week





and one of the roof (I tried to get the pearl, but pics don't do it justice)

 

here's the finished product... still have some cleanup and trim to button up, but she's done, and coming home tonight

 

Looks awesome!!!

 

looking good keep the updates coming

 

Love it! Cant wait to see more!

Your caddy looks so good

 

Nice caddy

 

thanks... got it back from paint, put it in the garage, slapped a cover on it, haven't touched it since... kinda sad

need to paint/install dash, rebuild carb, and get a windshield, then I'll get her out of hiding... lol

 

Looks great....is it on air?

 

yessir... slam re-7s/re-8's, factory trailing arms instead of a 4-link

 

Perfect !!!

 

lol... 12 gallon tank in the trunk, york 210 EDC for my compressor... needs a lot to get that big ass off the ground... it'll lay frame flat (I know, some people here HATE that... it's not their car)

 

hella cool dude

 

KOOL Caddy

 

Car looks nice! Good to see another Cadillac on here especially from Texas. Mike

 

ok, I know this thread has been slow going, but... I'm ordering the carpet this weekend... it's down to these choices. I'm most likely going with the 80/20 loop in either -

black


charcoal


midnight blue


or

dark blue



I know most on here don't care, but... I appreciate your opinions... you guys have more experience with most of this crap and I'd like to pick something that flows and sort of ties the outside color in with the interior, w/out being bright ass blue (i'm colorblind as well, so I can't tell them apart)... lol

 

Well, the 80/20 is most like what came in old cars.100% nylon is a little more durable,but looks more like a level field.Cut pile is a plusher look.I've sold and installed thousands of yards of carpets in my career.Good luck Jack

 

Midnight blue carpet my vote with white seats with blue piping.

I like that idea... I was thinking about doing a two-tone similar to this one, but there's just something I don't like about it

I say midnight blue for the carpet would look great. Black would look boring. Just my .02

 

Great project and I know it's a pain in the butt... keep it up.. they really knock 'em dead at the drive through when you're in a '62

 

Lol, forgot about this thread... I know it's been a while, but here's an updated picture.. been a lot of work to get it this far
