OldsklMike Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Started a new project for NNL East, a 50 Cadillac Custom from Modelhaus. Man this thing is BIG.. Trying to get better at laying down some smoother paint so I polished out the primer before paint. It worked out great, but still needs to be wet-sanded and polished. The wheels for this project are undecided at this time, but i have some ideas.. What do you think? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Thanks for looking.

Raul_Perez Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I like wheel #3!! What chassis are you going to put under that bohemoth?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Kron Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I like wheel #4 with wheel #3 a close second. Are those reverse rims (wheel #2) the Modelhaus ones? They are real sweet... just not right for that tail draggin' behemoth! This should be a great build. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m408 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I like #2. Seems to blend in very well with the overall smooth lines of the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldsklMike Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Some answers for you guys.. "What chassis are you going to put under that bohemoth?!" This kit is only a curbside so it comes with a fuul pan that glues up under it nicely. "is that front bumper stock or custom?" I didn't but the bumper on it yet, thats the side of the grill you see in the pics. "Are those reverse rims (wheel #2) the Modelhaus ones?' Yes they are the chrome rev. with the seperate spider caps. Makes it easier to paint the centers. "Man how many gallons of paint did you use. " 1 1/2 cans of Testors Fiery Orange and a whole can of Black Gold HoK Kandy Spanish Gold. harrypri thats a really nice illustration you did. BTW Modelhaus also has a 49 Cadi Fastback custom to build that.. Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatRod Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 That is gonna be bitchin' when it's finished!!! I really like wheel #2, gives it that old school kustom feel!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 That is a sweet Coupe de Ville. I love the old Caddies... I wish the Modelhaus or someone would tool up a 1:25th '71-76 Coupe de Ville, the last of the huge Caddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDERGUY Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I'm gettin that Cad., but probably the stock one. Yours looks great ,but the hood looks strange to me. Don't have an opinion on the wheels. And Harry's a great illustrator{spelling] , don't you all agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldsklMike Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Well I wet -sanded and polished as much as i could till i was afraid to go threw the paint. Still need to foil and wax this beast out, glad i bought more foil... The wheels are going to the billets from the Rivera kit on one side and the steelies on the other. It gives it to different styles on one car.. Yea The hood is kinda pointy but i sanded mine down some to take some of the pointiness out of it. Interior is almost done still got some small details to do yet. Thaks for all your help. Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDERGUY Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Your Cads lookin' real fine. The paint is top knotch. I'll have to go on their site to see the modes, to bad they don't have pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldsklMike Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Wow this thing is big, it used up 3/4 of a sheet of BM foil.. Its really turning out kool looking. These are the wheels that are going to be on the whole car. They have been sitting on my bench for 2yrs now waiting for the right project and this is it. It should be done before next weekend so watch for it Under Glass. Later........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
