yellowsportwagon Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hasagawa curbside with 65 Grand Prix roof swap. Put a real Johan dash in with a homemade console top. AMT 65 Riv wires with Nascar valve cover breathers for center caps. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1959scudetto Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Wow - very nice ! So you grafted a 1/25 roof onto an 1/24 model ? Fits perfectly ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s 1:25 scale if you put it next to a Johan 66 it’s the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Glad you mention the roof swap. While it looks almost normal you somehow something is different. Looks like it should be this way. I agree with the others on the paint color, looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 That turned out great Tim. Perfect color and wheels for a Phantom Cadillac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rightrudder Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Beautiful result! Your photos really show it off well...I'm a fan of outdoor lighting (and I don't have the patience to build a diorama!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Great use of odd parts to make something NICE! She's a beauty inside and out. Is that genuine Iris Mist? Evening Orchid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Oh yeah, big difference seeing them side-by-side. Never can be sure of computer monitor colors! Either way, it's a heck of a nice color, and is completely believable as an OEM color choice for the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kah puts Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Well heck you knocked that outta the park, I mean trip pinners on the wires, the color and stance , and the seamless roof swap, home run! Me dig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hi Tim! Great design, perfect execution, bravo! I can't decide what I like the most: the slick roof transplant, or the unique hue... CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 That is a BIG beautiful Caddy Tim. Beautiful job on the roof, and as the others have said, that colour is perfect.

RomanII Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 What a perfect blending of roof and body. I can't decide if it should be a Calais Custom or an Eldorado Custom Coupe. The smooth sides and Fleetwood level rocker panel chrome trim are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
