dino246gt Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 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.
Modlbldr Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I'll be watching this. I have both of these kits and I'm interested to see what you do with this. Later-
dino246gt Posted March 4, 2019 Author Posted March 4, 2019 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!!!
dino246gt Posted March 4, 2019 Author Posted March 4, 2019 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
dino246gt Posted March 4, 2019 Author Posted March 4, 2019 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!
Koellefornia Kid Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Really like what you are doing here! Will keep watching!
rickcaps55 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Wow ! that's awesome I have both of those kits I guess I will have to rethink what I'm going to do with them now.!! I can't wait to see this one done very nice.
