kelson Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Beautiful looking Caddy!,but I think the window trim would`ve looked better in black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thank you Curtis! I never cared for black trim all that much, so I went with chrome and silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWT Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Very nicely done Mike. Enjoyed watching this come together and the finished product looks great. I kinda dig the chrome trim. Gives a "higher end" look. Just curious, was there a lip to add it to the back windows? Edited June 11, 2019 by KWT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy, there is a slight lip around the windows and an even shallower lip around the two side and rear dark tinted windows. I choose not to try my luck around them.

Cpt Tuttle Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Bright red Escalade with chrome wheels, nothing for the shy guy. But the build itself looks great, nice finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Thank you Mattias! Sometimes a subject will come along and the boxart will have the right color that just appeals to you. The Escalade boxart appealed to me and I just had to paint it that color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmcguire Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Build looks great and enjoyed watching it come together and like what you chose to do with the color-matched grill too. Excellent end results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Thank you Dominik and Daniel! I'm rather happy with the way this Escalade turned out! From the grille to the wheels and the dual exhaust-I'm happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Thanks Gary! For me, it was adifferent kind of kit to build. Especially when I discovered that it was a curbside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
