Cool plan, do all three and bring them to Minneapolis, oh, wait they can't be done to your standards by then, can they?

Just save that picture and resize it accordingly, print on regular paper, cut and glue on black filter, I do it all the time with batteries:

My bench is always filled with multiple projects...............some of them even get finished!

I really love how you add so many little extras that would hardly ever be noticed, but YOU know they're there, and we know it too, sweet!

I love this kit, here's my chassis, a bit simplified but it still looks good, some details picked out with paint and Sharpies:

It's looking very good, especially for an old tool, great what you did for the transmission mount and the colors look excellent together, also the rims and tires are cool. nice build!

Purple shift knob is a cool touch!

Looking good! I did one years ago, here it is:

Steve, that Chrysler is so awesome, and the uptop is a big part of that, it just looks so cool!

It looks so nice stock and well detailed, great model!

That looks very cool, nice choices, wheels, stance, color, bike, nice display piece!

I really like that!

Looks so cool already, love the open trunk with underside detail, nice! Also I never thought of detailing the chassis still on the sprue, good idea.

Wow, that inside foil and headliner, oh man, that's really nice! Don't forget sunvisors! What an amazing build!

Did a little work on the engine, and got it and the chassis installed, so far so good! Oh but there's not much clearance to the hood, so I'll have to scratch an engine cover, should be fun! It's ALL fun, always, cheers!

I made up some pretty cool wheels, believe it or not, the whitewall inserts from AMT's '34 Ford fit the backside of the Foose tires. I painted the Foose rims gold, then glued the whitewalls to them, smoothed the centers, added decals, chrome rings and filled with clear canopy cement. I drilled out the chrome headlights, man I hate chrome headlights! Especially when trying to drive at night! LOL

I made many body mods, at the rear I decided to have plain fins, and add '59 Caddy bullets into the bumpers. I modified those bumpers, then airbrushed Molotov, and let them dry, for months!!!

So I bought a couple of Foose Caddy kits, just for parts, and the first use of those parts is under the primitive Eldorado Brougham kit. I painted up all the parts from the Foose kit that I plan to use, but the Brougham doesn't have a separate chassis, and it's a multi-piece body! I had to remove the bottom and lengthen the front fenders to fit the Foose stuff, I also opened the hood.

I didn't realize where I was posting, so I really should put this under "on the workbench". Cheers!

I'm still working on this Caddy, or should I say, I've gotten back to working on it. Detailed the interior, somewhat, good enough anyway, polished that black, oh man it's smooth, got the chassis, suspension and wheels/tires on, also drilled out the headlights. I'm leaving the roof and glass for last as it certainly is terrible looking! The whole front bumper/grill will also have to be "re-imagined" as it's too wide and too tall, and just plain too funky! Also have to scratch up some kind on engine cover. Anyway, this thread sure got off track, I hope to bring it back, back to Cadillac, enjoy the progress pictures and comment away, good or bad!

Wow, I hope to see it in Minneapolis this Spring? Seeing it during construction, MAY influence my vote for best road car! It sure is gorgeous, as are ALL of your amazing builds, cheers!

That NACA vent mod is perfect! I like the LP400 best, simple and clean. I love restomods, and your version, besides being greatly improved over the kit, is a dream restomod! I LOVE IT!!!

I don't think I've ever seen painted plastic look SO much like real wood, excellent, and it's a VERY unusual model subject, um, I don't think I've ever seen another one! Great workmanship, (workpersonship?)

I like it too! Very cool!

Search on Shapeways for 3D model car parts and tires, there are lots of 1/16th scale things, and I believe MOST parts can be scaled to any size, maybe. Also take one with you to an RC store, they do have some very realistic looking wheels and tires.
