Hey Custom,

Very glad to see you and the Caddy back on the board!

The canted forward headlights look alot like the 67-68 models which I like better than the too formal (IMHO) 65-66 models.

Please keep us posted on the progress!

84Van's got a point there Marsh, The canted forward headlights DO make a nice mod.I saw back when you did it an was thinkin how one little cut made such a big,nice difference.Keep us posted on this,please, caz this rascal looks like it'll be interesting!

Thanks guys! I've got other plans for more customizing also.... I picked up a 737 cid Thumper motor from Gibson Engines, with the supercharger from the Hemi Hunter motor, and I thought about using it for this build.... What do ya think? Too much maybe?

Yeah right!

O.K. here's what happened.... I had the box with the pieces of the kit sitting behind my modem when the internet went down. I picked up the box and set it down on my chair so I could work on the modem. Just before I started working on the modem, I said to myself 'with the way things are going, I'll probably forget I set that there and sit on it.' And what do you know, I DID! I didn't damage any parts except.... THE DOORS! I broke the tops of the doors off.

I put a want ad on the buy sell trade forum for another body so I could cut the doors off of it, but no luck with that, so I found 2 doors from another hearse kit that didn't have have the broken doors, but the side trim was sanded off, which I wanted to keep on there, so I repaired the 2 original doors, and sanded off the trim on the body and 2 repaired doors.

My fat hind end strikes again (hmmm.... it rhymes, I'm a poet and didn't know it!)!!!!

Now you can laugh to your hearts content....
