'70 "eldo" Street Machine ?

[Albert Wallace Jr.]

This kit was a real bear to build. The front end assy didn't want to go together well, so I built it as a curbside. I used "Tamiya" gold base, with a "Mica Red" overcoat. "Testors" Tan paint was used for the interior, along with some plain ole brown paint for the wood-like trim on the dash, door panels, and steering wheel. I mixed up some flocking for the carpet, to match the rest of the interior, and used "Pegasus" wheel and tire set for the "Street Look".

I always like them! I have a 68 I want to do as a mild custom. I have it started in raw plastic. It's on my list (HaHa)

What kit are these based on? A friend of mine bought a '68 when we were about 22-23, who would guess a car that size could get up and move. We had a lot of fun smoking unsuspecting Cameros and Mustangs, luckily we stayed out of any real trouble with it. Not sure what Cadillac was thinking though 375 hp and front wheel drive is not the best combination, not a problem in a VW but that Caddy really showed what torque steer is about.

Nice job on the two you built, the red works well on the '70. Great job on the grill, it does look like you missed the Cadillac emblems on the hood and trunk though (the camera misses nothing, I've been caught by it many times ).
