bbowser Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 All of the above and more! As stated in another thread, those Johan Caddy's are some of the finest kits ever molded, you've done this one justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perspective Customs Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Beautifully done. I've been sitting on this kit for some time trying to figure out how to hot rod it but after seeing your build I'm having second thoughts. Maybe stock is the only way to go. Very very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gramps46 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Johnny, Seeing what you have done with the kit of the roadster, it is beautiful. I have this bagged kit sitting in my stash which I will never use. It is yours if you send me a PM with your mailing address and I will get it in the mail to you tomorrow. It will be my pleasure.

I remember being up almost all one night cleaning up the flash on those wheels before finally painting them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Gorgeous old Caddy. There is something about the phrase "V-16 roadster" that gets the heart pumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was driving OTR I had a three day layover in Salk Lake City so went to a car show there to kill some time. That was where I saw one of these in person for the first (and last) time. Things were winding down for the evening and I stopped and talked to the owner who out of the blue said to hop in and lets take her for a spin! I was elated to say the least! Here was this guy who knew me from Adam and asks me to take a ride in a to me priceless car! A few miles out he stopped to run in and get a pack of smokes and when we come out he offers to let me take it for a spin! I declined. As much as I would have loved to have driven that car I did not want to take the chance that something would happen with me behind the wheel! They are beautiful designed cars and just the feel of the engine in front of you is like a dream and I still can only imagine what the feel of the throttle would have been like under my foot! By the way, he didn't baby that car either! He drove it like I believe the creator intended him to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
