  4. hey dr. cranky, id like to get in on this, if thats cool? i just picked this up the other day, its a 1961 impala ht. going stock on this except for the rims oh and remember im on cali time. her she is, hope i can make the deadline happy friday the 13th eveyone!!
  5. yup they had two types of interiors one was leather and the other type was velour. but both had the same pattern, for the 90-92 d'elegance.. the 80-89 sedan deville, fleet wood brougham had i think three different types that's including the one i did. i like these type of seats better, there easier to maintain. the pillow tops have to many nooks and crannies you got to get into when you go to clean them and i think thats awesome that you and your mom worked for GM. thanks for building us some awesome cars back in the day when they where built tuff!! i know my caddy will go over a prius like it went over a speed bump and never drop under 50mph lol.. i may have to pick your brian about the caddy's one day

  17. HI, fellas heres a little about myself. iv been working on models off and on since i was about 8, I'm 36 now yikes time flies lol about 6 years ago i caught the model bug real hard, buying models where ever i could find them. i got real big into vintage kits jo han, mpc, amt etc... you name it i probably got it. but about 3 years ago i caught another bug,... bmx! i got real big into collecting 80's bikes like what i used to ride back then, and kind of lost interest in this hobby and stopped building until last year to the date on x-mas night, i was surfing the web and found this wonderful place and seen all these sweet build's you guy's got here. i tried getting back into it and building something but with a new born and having limited space it just didn't happen. untill 3 weeks ago i talked to the head off the house (the wife) and finally got a little work bench i can call my own whoopie time to start building!!!! so with out further ado here is one i pulled from the vault, its a 1991 Cadillac 4d brougham d'elegance resin body with a revell 2dr cadilac donor kit. in this pic i cut off the front end of the resin so i can add the engine compartment from the donor caddy heres the doors i worked on, a lot of cutting and measuring lol heres the finished tub. i wll keep updating this post in the next few weeks, as i move along to the chassie and body. hope you guy's like it as i know im in here with the best modelers iv seen to date p.s. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! and excuse my writing and spelling skills lol
