yellowsportwagon Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Got a good deal on this a while back. It’s time to do it. This will be close to box stock with some simple improvements. Starting with lowering the front end so it’s not aiming for the sky. I will move the distributor to the front of the engine where it belongs and make some other corrections. Keeping it pretty simple.

Ace-Garageguy Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Very nice. Another one of the best looking US cars of all time.
Mike999 Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 Great work! Keeping it simple and near stock is a good idea. These original Eldos were gorgeous right off the assembly line, and their understated elegance doesn't need any extra bling. Many years ago I tried to build one with the "halo" vinyl roof and failed miserably. Always wanted to try that again. For those who've never seen it, here's the Jo-Han '68 Eldorado in the rare and short-lived "Custom Car Kit" box. I don't believe these kits had any extra parts. Jo-Han just highlighted the custom version by putting it front and center on the box top. The custom treatment and the wheels make that big old Eldorado look like one mean machine. It reminds me of the Olds Toronado in the Stephen King novel/movie "The Dark Half."
