1968 Caddy fastback

[yellowsportwagon]

Just mocked up for now. Johan 68 Caddy convt. With a 67 Impala roof.

I like it.

This looks better than what GM did with this model years ago. I know styles change from year to year, but this roof looks much better than what GM built.

That is exactly why I’m doing this. I’m building what GM should have built.

Caddy looks very smooth. I'm excited to see progress on this one.

Neat...this reminds me of a Photoshop image of a '67 CDV w/ the fastback roofline that's been making the rounds on FB for years.

It’s a 68 too that’s where I got the idea

[Rob Hall]

Yes, that’s the pic I was thinking of.  If I had an extra 68 CdV and ‘68 Impala I’d like to use the formal Caddy roofline to approximate a ‘68 Impala custom coupe.

Someone does or did a resin like that. I’ll have to think who did it.

I am not typically into modified cars but this thing is really cool.

[yellowsportwagon]

Some putty and primer to see if it flows nicely.

[yellowsportwagon]

I think this will look pretty cool. 

[bisc63]

That is a really cool custom! Great idea, and you are right on that GM couldda and shouldda.

I’m a big fan of the 67 and 68 Cadillac Coupe Deville. I’m also a purist for original design. That being said, I really like this custom!? I have a couple extra 67s, I think I’ll follow along and try it myself!? I see it in lime green and real low!

Interesting fusion. 

In my mind, I'm not so sure that the sweep of the Chevy roof-line mates well with the blockiness of the Caddy side panels.

I'm very curious, I'll be watching to see how this one works out.

Primer is on

[89AKurt]

Love the concept.  What are you using for putty?

[yellowsportwagon]

Evercoat 2 part glaze.

In my eye this big coupe looks terriffic. I wouldn't change a thing, even the tone of that primer suits well on that body shell. 

[yellowsportwagon]

So I’ve been staring at this thing and think I need to straighten the door window at the top. It’s too round yet.More like the tape shows I think would be better 

[yellowsportwagon]

Fixed

[yellowsportwagon]

Sanded and ready for paint

Nice kitbash

[iamsuperdan]

Love the style of this one. Ncie work.

[Oldcarfan27]

That looks sleek! Kind of an update of a 59 Caddy.

Please put a stock type "Firemist" color on it to continue the tribute. Make it believable.
