Customs *** 1961 Cadillac CDV Kustom build ***

badass work... will be following this topic

 

Looking really clean, the chop looks factory. I have extra vent window frames if you end up needing more parts, let me know.

 

Holy Chit thats gonna be a nice Caddy, I love a car that you have to pay attention to know if theyve been chopped or not. I Just picked up a 62 for my lady, good luck with your build..(not that you need luck you over talented sumbitch!!)

 

Looks great Ian....my first Custom in high school was a 61 cad....white and on it's nuts. I loved that car what a chick getter it was.

 

Well, I bought a shirt, hopefully that will help buy some more welding wire. Lol! Can't wait to see where you take this one Ian.

 

Carie is stoked and I fuckin' hate u so much that I love u, you talented bastard.....keep it up holmes.

 

Any updates? Lets see some more bad a$$ pic.s

 

Awesome work

 

im subscribed, that is going to be one badass caddy

 

Wow! Just wow!

 

how's it going ?

 

Always a pleasure to follow your work, thanks man.
Love the powerplant to.

 

Guys i can't thank you enough for all the kind words!!!
Means a whole lot!!!

There isn't a ton of progress , i've been busy getting my chevy ready for the trip to austin....A/C, SOUND SYSTEM..... ETC......And motion picture work here and there!!

I did finish the chop and the rear glass fits perfect!! STOKED!!

been working on the fins.

here's some pics!!

I put in a 60 cadillac tail light on the 61.









Thank you Delmo for letting me use your brake!! I tried to bend it low budget....... NOT GOOD!!

Although i will use thicker gauge on the next one. I used 22 g on this one, too thin!!! Hence the lead!!















More to come......

 

diggin the extended fin, Saw it on Fb too. Keep it up!

 

I think I like the fins better, any chance of a full side shot, or I can wait till I see the car, looks like something to copy. I've seen them made smaller, not a fan of, but this is the first for enlarging, I think. Roger

 

I dig the little peak you did out of lead off the bottom of the tailight area... gonna be a bad ass caddy!!!!!!

 

Awesome work Ian. You are a fucking madman!!!

 

Thank you so much for the nice comments guys!!!!
Im very stoked on building this cadillac for my wife!!

Roger, these are the best pics i can give you right now.

 

The "KADINATOR" is coming along very nice!! You tweekin' the bottom fins?

 

Awesome work. As many have already said, the chop is spot on. All the lines on that baby flow together so well.

 

Looks great Ian. Keep us posted

 

Livin' the dream.Haha.

 

Killer job

 

awesome stuff ian, love watching your builds. very inspirational as always.

 

I really dig cars (especially big cars) that sit so low they almost look broke. This one is great. The fins, the chop, perfect. Subtle like a sledgehammer......

 

Agreed! Chops looks amazing, am glad you didnt chop it too much. It really flows and just "looks right".

Well done mate.

 

Ian this is absolutely beautiful work! I love the "mild" chop and the subtle changes to the fin and tail lights!

 

I always thought that these cars would slick with the bottom fin same as the top...

 

Hey Ian. Looking good Brotha. I'm loving the fin treatment. I see your lead word has greatly improved, Are you still using the Eastwood kit or have you moved on to something else?

Oh man it keeps getting better I love the fins and 60 taillights !!!
