'66 Caddy with 24" - The Blue Whale

Recommended Posts

This Caddy is a quick build after seeing some videos of full size cars with full size wheels in Youtube. 

The interior was light brown when I bought this project model, then I painted it black. It didnt look good, so before the paint had dried well, I sprayed some matte white on the seats and managed to get lots of wrinkles. Now it looks like the leather has some tears and is dried under the sun. 

I added some chrome trims here and there and also those nasty sidepipes to left and right.

Thats real sweet. Love the mexican blankets and the leather seats, never seen that done before. What are the wheels & tyres from ?

Ive had one of these Caddys that I got in a bunch of stuff years back & never really gave it a look. Your build has definatly inspired me.

Thanks everybody! I think those wheels and tyres came from a pos. Chevy Van, that had some wierd battery operated chassis, that could go up and down like it had hydraulics in it. I tested it a few times and then the battery went dead everytime. 

Those cracks in the leather seats was really just pure luck, too many coats of paint too soon after ea h other and thats the lucky result.
