This is right up my building alley so I think I'll join, I'm sure I can finish something by the end of the year. Got an unbuilt Johan snap 79 caddy, and a semi started 64 impala, doors are opened and sunroof cut in but gotta repair a few small breaks.

I was beginning to wonder where you were hiding out, Phil. Welcome and I can't wait to see what you will cook up.

Cool man..... Can't wait to see the Caddy
To be honest I just saw it this morning, things have been crazy this year, I was trying to get the car ready for cruising this summer but some expensive repairs killed that plan till next summer so back to building

James, another cool ride. It looks like you are on a great lowrider roll here. Keep 'em coming.

Well, maybe I should jump in and post some pics. First up is an unbuilt caddy, gonna keep this one simple
Next is a 64 I picked up from a friend slightly started, needs to be stripped and I need to reinforce and then jamb the body

Got the 70 finished up... I'm not too thrilled with the way the hood doesn't quite fit right.... Other than that, here's a teaser pic... I'll post the rest under glass...
Dont feel bad, I have built a few of these and the hood never fits right without a lot of tweaks

did a little paint testing today, found a new base coat I like for candy type paints
Labeled as steel on the can
but as you can see looks like a nice metalflake silver
L-R: Krylon metal-X red, duplicolor metalcast green and purple
leaning towards the red or green for the caddy

Thanks for the tip Phil.
I just got 2 sets of Pegasus 1109's
Thinking of a 70 Monte Carlo in a dark green.
