DrKerry Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I saw Ted Lears Caddy and thought "That would make a killer wagon" so here it is. I am planning on putting the stock front end on it and part of the rear bumper. I'm using the roof from my custom Chrysler 300 wagon. More to come as it happens.....
Custom Hearse Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Awesome! This is definitely want to watch. What bodies are you using? Looking forward to seeing more!!!
DrKerry Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 Thanks guys, Marshall, I'm using Jimmy Flintstones Cadicious body and Chrysler 300 wagon body. I can get you part numbers if you wish. I also have a rag top version getting started too.
Custom Hearse Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I would like to see if I can locate the Cadicious body. Your build has given me an idea on a new hearse. The convertible sounds like a cool idea as well. I will definitely have to keep an eye open for that build as well!
DrKerry Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 Sounds like a kool idea. Part numbers for both of these cars are below. Hope it helps........ NB216 59 Cadicious custom NB199 57 Chrysler 300 custom

Ace-Garageguy Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 VERY nice flow. The line of the roof is just exactly right on.
BKcustoms Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Wow! I would've never thought this would look so cool as a wagon.
DrKerry Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks guys, I like how the roof line matches with the lower body line and the rear side window matches the upper body line. It just flows together. As of right now, the front end has been cut to take the stock 59 Caddy front end (Bumper/grille/lights). The rear valance has been cut out for the same stock treatment back in. It has been recessed into the body and the rear bumper may get sectioned to make it thinner or I may rip the bumper off to add a valence back into it. Photos coming soon.....

ROB213 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Heck ya a caddy and a wagon, I'm watching this one for sure! Im working on a 63 cad wagon myself.. so that would be nice to see another one. Keep it up!!
Custom Hearse Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks Dr. Kerry!!! Found the Cadicious body on Evilbay, I might use either the roof from the Jimmy Flintstone '59 caddy hearse or the roof from the Ecto 1...
DrKerry Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 There ya go Marshall, like I said, can't wait to see what ya do!!!!!!
Custom Hearse Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 I'll let you know when I start on the build. I have so many now going, what difference will another make?
