How could I miss this one? James, you and your buddy Twenty Gallons did an excellent job on this 49 Cadillac. I will follow this built. Keep up the good work!

 

How this build get by me!! Going to be keeping a eye on this one.. Cool build!!

 

Hi James....Thanks for the clips....you have PM....Doug

 

Merry Christmas back, James, and to all of you out there in HAMB land that contribute to this build and all the others. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year..!!!!!!

 

Aw hell, James...you've got a whole year...the world isn't supposed to end until December 21, 2012...

I have it on good authority that the days after December 21, 2012, will be normal, like the previous 11 months, 21 days...Keep at it...!!!

Have a Merry and a great 2012...

Gday james,
I saw this caddy on the HAMB and it got me thinking of your 49, maybe re-think your total build, its a little out there i know but take it on board....
cheers darren

 

Having seen this thing in person, the pictures don't do it much justice...the profile & proportions are so right it's ridiculous.

Great to meet you yesterday Jason...enjoyed talking and looking at your handiwork. Hope my head didn't do too much damage to the garage door

 

That is the best compliment this car has received. James and I both Thank you.

as far as the garage door? don't worry about it, I put it back together.....just hope your head is OK.

 

Don't know how I missed this for so long.

Very nice work!

 

That is just sick!

 

The Fine Caddy saga continues with awesome results every time James posts new photo's. The end result someday will be one of the finest b'49 Caddy's to be built, way to go James your the man.

Awesome James,..really takes it closer to the P38!

 

wow! That is cool!

 

NICE,NICE,NICE!!!! please keep the updates coming.

 

Lovin the skirt treatment.

 

class act,nice car

 

Hi James...Its a great illusion hiding the seam on the rear fender,with the trim spear...have you worked out how to lock it in position...be a great feat to hide the front wheel arch as well....the car would like its just hovering with no wheels...the rear fender has a great airfoil shape...very art deco...fantastic work......Doug

 

this build has inspired me to a new high ! It was pretty close to what I have decided to build with my 49 Pontiac Silver Streak 2dr Sedanette I just picked up . I saw a Caddy done up at a show like this and decided it was me all the way ! On the ground , arm out the window and finger in the air lol
Glad I found this thread !

Cool! (Not so sure about those kerb feelers though...)

 

Damn what a great project. shame on me for never seen it.
you say you want it to be kinda like the OZ cad. with or w/out the roof? i'd say with...

 

I love the skirt idea. Definately thinking outside the box

 

In your shoes, I would make it exactly like that. Can't go wrong. Love your build.

 

The skirts look great! I am thinking of something similar for my 51 Chevy...using the top of the opposite side 1/4 panel I have an extra pair of quarters that only the tops are usable...I think you may have just convinced me !

 

Looking great!.... More pics please

MrC.

 

Wow, awesome work! I'd love to check it out sometime if you are local, let me know!! Keep it up

 

aweswome build, cant wait to see more

 

Oh Im liking those skirts.love how the use of the hood made them.. Keep those pictures coming.

 

I saw the title of this thread and thought "oh good god, why would anyone do that to a '49 Caddy, it'll just ruin it" and then I saw the first several photos and you totally proved me wrong.
Beautiful car so far and I cannot wait to see more photos. Keep 'em coming!

 

james,
very very cool my man. you are lucky to have jason as a mate...
cheers darren

 

You have the extra quarters from the green car...use the top of the pass side as the skirt for the drivers side ....
