espo Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 On the 1:1 car with Flame Throwers you can adjust the flame with the choke if you still have one. I think it's a great touch here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Final test fitting before assembling, touch up and final polish. Hubcaps staying off until assembled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkybritches Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 That is sharp. Great paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Looks great and is a great instance of a stunning paint job using rattle cans. My only suggestion would be to think about finding a 12v battery in your stash and swapping it. Cadillac was one of the earlier adopters of 12v in 1953 and it would make sense that the car would be updated to 12v rather than backdating the starter, coil, and generator to 6v.

A great idea that I did not know about, but too late for that. The battery is molded to the side of the engine bay. So, I would have had to cut that out and replace early in the build Edited February 7, 2021 by Exotics_Builder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
