´66 Cadillac Coupe De Ville

[Koellefornia Kid]

Due to some health problems I had very limited bench time in the past few months, so I chose an easy kit with just around 30 parts for my latest project: Hasegawa´s disappointing 1966 Cadillac Coupe De Ville.

I slammed the simple chassis to the max and used a set of Hoppin Hydros wheels from wich I cut some material from the back and glued it to the front of the rim to give them some deeper dishes. Also cut the hood from the body, used some parts box underhood details and crammed a Clearly scale GM LS9 V12 engine in there:

And just because I didn't like the generic dashboard and the poor instrument decal, I thought a full width digital display would be nice:

That's it from my Caddy, hope you like it. As always, comments are welcome.

Great looking color and finish.  I like the stance cleanly done trim.

Thanks for the comments, guys!

As for the paint: It's a custom mixture of metallic and bright red airbrushed over a base coat of VW Reflex Silver (rattle can), topped with 2k cleat from the can.
