thatz4u Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 My latest attempt at building stock, it's a curbside, comments welcome.... 1
StevenGuthmiller Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Looks very nice Al! I'm not much for these '70s cars, but it looks like you did a great job on this one. What is the color? It looks like there might be a hint of purple on my monitor. Steve
shoopdog Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Very cool build. 78 and 79 coupes are my favorite Caddy's of all time.
bill lanfear Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Nice work on the Caddy! I wish I had one for my diorama that is in progress!

SfanGoch Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Is that Canyon Copper Firemist Metallic? Chateau Mauve Firemist wasn't available for '78 MY. Edited July 20, 2018 by SfanGoch

FYI - look for the Lindberg 79 Cadillac hopper kit. The body is the old Johan tool, slight wheelbase adjustment for the hopper chassis. I know, because I have one and all the old Johan parts fit it exactly! Even has same tooling marks inside it. At least we know this Johan tool still exists. We should ask Round 2 to restore this classic kit.

Oldcarfan27 Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 And you can play with it BEFORE you put it in your diorama!? Be aware it only has black windows (no interior) and hopper chassis, so you'll have to round up those parts to make a stock model from it, but it's a start. The body is still nice.
