That's cool. I can confidently say that I've never seen one quite like that.

That came out awesome! We need more Cadillacs around here.

Thanks #33 I got the interior and engine bay done. I got the body out of the purple pond and in primer. Hopefully I can get some paint on it soon.

Thanks Bill. #33 I got the interior pan mated to the chassis. I should be able to get the rest of the interior done soon.

I got the spare engine built. The only part I didn't seem to have was the air cleaner, so I grabbed one out of my parts box. I drilled new mounting holes for the front wheels lower and at an angle to give a little more lift and add some positive camber to simulate extended upper a arms. I also lifted the rear a equal amount by extending the rear shocks and adding some styrene rod on top of the springs to look like hydrolic cylinders. I also installed the exhaust while I was at it. I didn't wait long enough between color and clear on the body, so it's in the purple pond. For a mostly box stock build, I'm not having very good luck with it.

I appreciate the offer, but now that I think about it, I think I have one, I cut up 2 of these kits to make a hearse and I should have the other engine still. Thanks for helping to jog my memory!

My puppy got to the engine. It was completely built, I just had a little detail painting to do. He chewed everything off it, only leaving the distributor. I guess Tony P's Cadillac is going to be curbside. At least it's something I can fix by gluing the hood shut. He's lucky he's cute.

I'm planning on using the Cadillac grill from the Revell '48 Ford chopped coupe.

That came out really nice.

That came out really nice!

Thanks. I used the engine from the Deserter kit, it's just box stock, nothing special.

Unfortunately Tony P's Cadillac doesn't get much screen time, so I have to guess at some of the details. I'm going with a white interior with black carpet. I have an extra interior from a Donks kit and I feel like the diamond tuck is appropriate. I also added a shifter to the column, I'm not really sure why Revell didn't include one.

Funny you should mention that. I have a gas can I was thinking about casting so I could paint a couple red for fuel and a couple black for water.

Thanks, unfortunately I didn't take any progress pictures of the rack.i just googled pictures of racks and bent some brass rod into a shape I liked and went from there. The ladder sides are made from solder, it was easier to get the bends I needed.

Thanks, it's Rustoleum light turquoise.

I built this by combining the body and interior from the '66 Suburban kit and the chassis and drive train from the '84 GMC kit. They required some modifications to fit together, but went together pretty easily. I scratch built the ladder and roof rack. I'll continue to add stuff to the roof rack as I come across things that I think will look good.

Thanks. Here's a picture of the kit when I first got it.

Thanks, I got it from Page Resin.

Nice, I have a '73 wagon I need to build.

This is a resin kit of a '71 Impala Sport Coupe. The kit didn't come with windows or a steering wheel so I made the windows and I thought a chain steering wheel would fit the look of a '70s lowrider. The wheels are from a '70 Impala kit, the tires are from a Revell lowrider. The kit came with a chassis, but I had an extra one from a '76 Caprice that was easier to work with, so I used that. I painted the bumpers gloss black then used Molotow chrome. The paint is a '14 Mustang color.

This is what I used. It's like Molotow chrome in that you can't touch it for a while or it will dull.

I got a little bit done on Tony P's Cadillac. I took a yellow sharpie to some of the chrome to make it look gold. I also used a blue sharpie in the headlight bucket to simulate the HID headlights, and an orange sharpie for the turn signals. I used a molotow chrome pen on the rear axle, driveshaft and engine bay brace. More next time.

It's done, but thanks.

Can I still get in on this? If so I'd like to enter Tony P's Cadillac from Mystery Men. I'll be using Revell's Custom Cadillac Lowrider.

That reminds me a lot of the die cast t bucket from Testors.
