Excellent Caddy. the set of longhorns, where are they from??

Those are from the MPC "Chuck Wagon" show rod. They're oversized but pretty effective on a car as big as the Caddy.

That's wild Manuel I love it . I like how you tinted the windows and the rotted pipes . I bet it would sound like a tractor too :lol:

One of my uncles had a '59 Caddy when I was a kid and I remember the window tint was so deep that I felt like I was underwater when I rode in it. I had to capture that.

One I have handy......a Caddy movie car.......

Glued the doors closed to fit better. Added basic door handles. Die cast toy wheels and tires. I printed the tag.

I like this kit warts and all.

Here are some old Cadillacs built in the mid 80's: JoHan's 1964 and 1968 kits and an 1958 X-El (ex-JoHan) promo which has been disassembled, repainted and foiled. The built kits will also receive some polishing treatment and bare metal foil too.

That '58 is awesome! Use an entire sheet of Baremetal foil on that one did you?

Well, almost - no, just kidding, but it was a nerve-wrecking experience to put all the chrome-foil onto the body...
