This is a very inspirational thread. I love it. An those Jag fender sections wow!!! I guess I got to stop walking by the import sections at the junk yard ! Who knows what soon to be great custom parts are in there !! Keep it up Larry
Years ago I used a jaguar headlight sheetmetal on my 54 Plymouth but I ended up pounding out the ridge on top cause I ran rod down the side to look like a 55 caddy. My metal work has gotten a bit better since then too haha. Also jags doors are great for fender skirts. The body line is perfect for a nice rolled edge in the bottom of a skirt.

That looks great! Never thought that Jaguar parts could be used on something cool like this.Keep up the good work!
It's not only the amazing metal work- It's the ability to foresee that those Jaguar fender/headlamps would look perfect on this Cadillac. Just love this build.
So I have to ask about the jag parts since they look amazing! What year and model are the top fenders pieces? This is such a great build. Posted from the international space station
I think it's exquisite. And, that in no small part results from the 'flow', that makes it look like a very fast swimming sea creature morphed into a Caddy Custom; or more precisely, into a 'work-in-progress'. And, since I know most cars are mocked up in clay, I keep thinking of how Mirko has the ability to move metal around so it appears to have the plasticity of a designer modeling clay. Mister Mirko, Sir, you have an immense talent, and an uncanny feel for design; that, as I have commented on earlier, seems to be part of your genetic make-up; even, though I accept that you are one person with a high level of skill, cutting, welding, grinding and sanding metal --- well beyond ordinary comprehension. Miraculo! As they chant in one of Frederico Fellini's films. Yeah. This one's a miracle to me, too.
Thanks for the jag info Mirko. Like so many have said, this is an amazing build! Posted from the international space station
Good morning, today we start the front of car, i'm inspired from this car. And.... Yes, i'm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Wonderful work, wonderful car. Not digging the dagmars though, looks like an afterthought because they are blocking the grille but you probably already have a plan to fix that?
hey Mirko, we are mates. Love your build, your work is amazing. . . but i hate the dagmars too. Your build has elegance and panache. The dagmars cheapen it in my opinion. Lumbering rhino horns on a svelte gazelle.
I really appreciate your opinion, is nothing irreversible because will be modified the dagmars and no the body. Do a test if they do not go well will be removed. Thanks to all
Thanks for taking it well, Mirko, and remember it is just my opinion. This what I'm working on right now so it isnt like I dont like a buxom lass. . . But your car is pure , keep it simple. That little tank on the front of Cadzilla always annoyed me. Less is more. Restraint will make this car sublime. The emphasis should be the body styling. . . not the hang ons. Again , just my opinion.
I love the dagmars. A little of the Cadillac heritage should show in my opinion. I wouldn't second guess anything on this build- Can you say Perfection so far?
