1959 Cadillac/Elcomeno/Corvette.

[H.A.K]

"El Cadillette"

This car was build because of a rendering i saw about 5 yrs ago
I always wanted to build it in scale. And I finally did.
Cut the roof and shortened it. Cut off the B Pillar and added new ones to make a 59-60 Elcomeno roof out of. Used a rear elco window for it. Added a panel where the rear seat gos and added a set of Subs with a custom cover that opened and closes.  The interior is custom with a 59 Impala dash cut to fit. 60s corvette seats, and steering wheel. And 60s corvette inspired rear deck led. Custom center console with more gages and a phone and 20" shifter. 
The front bumper is custom modified to have corvette teeth, and 56 caddie Dagmars. The rear bumper was modified to have 57 chevy  grille insert added to it. And a extra set of 59 bullets to the backup lights. The body got some Corvette side scoops, and some custom rear skirts. 
The engine is the stock caddie block with custom value covers and 8 stack injection manaflod. The trunk was modified to hold a switch and batteries for a lighting kit. The chassis is glass black with a hand painted frame to match the color of the engine bay.
The LEDs work the headlights and rear custom light behind the new insert area. And 2 LEDs to light up the seats to light up the interior.
Then I added Exhaust pipes that come out of the body of the fenders.
And to top it all off, 20" 100 spokes from 3D scale parts.

Wow…. Just an amazing build!  Love everything about this.

It kinda reminds me of the concept cars of the 50’s.

That's a cool looking model and you did a great job on the conversion !  I especially like that you used the '59-60 El Camino rear window and roof overhang , most conversions just add a flat glass and it looks awful to my eyes , also the Corvette type side coves are a great addition !

Outstanding Custom! You did an amazing job. That "Peachy" color paint job really sets it off. Thanks for posting this up.

Thank you so much. I agree with you on the roof. Its a must to do it like I did, any other way dosent look right.

The major Plastic Surgery and the paint look great. The chrome trim is nice and clean, and the bumpers and grill all look good. Like the lighting also.

The heading suggests something ugly but once I saw it I couldn't stop looking at it. Well done Samuel on recreating this from a rendition.

Cheers,
