horsepower Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 We could have used some of your winter, we broke records for all time highs this last week, three straight days of new record highs of 78 degrees, but the past two days it was only 75. We were actually supposed to get rain the first week of March, but now they don't think it'll happen. Another summer with no water for our yards and no gardens again. We'll take all the loads of snow you can afford to truck out for our lakes.
Greg Pugh Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Wow! Almost looks real in the photos! Nicely done!!
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Great looking Caddy Al. Nice job. I feel your pain with the c-c-c-c-cold. X2, and it's positively toasty here compared to what you guys have to put up with. I especially like the first shot of the model poking its nose out of the garage. Your build looks so good, the first thought that went through my warped mind was that some practical joker had hit a real Caddy with the old shrink-ray.
Porscheman Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Thanks again guys. I'm overwhelmed by all the nice comment on my Caddy. BTW, under a winter storn warning now and it's snowing and 26 outside. Heat wave Al Edited February 21, 2015 by Porscheman
donb Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Very nicely done. Cruising with the top down is.. ah...er around the corner?
thatz4u Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Nice Caddy Al, the cold came all the way down to Florida.....it was even 34 in Cuba!!!
59-Desoto Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Absolutely Gorgeous Cadillac , hurry up summertime. I am a sucker for these big old convertibles.
microwheel Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Beautiful Caddy, I really love the color choice.
Mopar - D Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Al beautiful Caddy those colors fit the car perfect.
am73grand Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 What a gorgeous build. That red really pops. I love it!
tbill Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 great looking caddy, looks just like one I see locally in the summer months. ah, the cold, yup, sick of it, only 4 months to our two weeks of summer, lol.
Johnny Mac Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Fantastic, I love the clear blue windshield, how was that applied, aerosol or airbrush? Did you Future Klear afterwards? Keep warm, it looks grim over there.

Keep warm, it looks grim over there. First, Thank you for all the nice comments on my Cadillac. Now for John's question regarding the windshield tint. I use Tamiya's clear blue sprayed from a rattle can. I hold the can about 1' from the glass and give it 3 quick, very light coats of paint. Have a piece of white paper near so you can judge your tint. You may not notice the tint and want add more coat and then you end up with dark blue glass, that what the paper is for, I know very well from trial and error. No top coat is needed. Hope this helps, If you have any questions, PM me and I'll walk you through it. Thanks again. Al Edited February 22, 2015 by Porscheman
Johnny Mac Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks Al, I will try that method on a 1/12 Doyusha Mach 1 Mustang I am toiling with. Thanks for the PM.
Mr Stock Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Beautiful work Al, love those late 60s Caddy's
Porscheman Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Anytime Johnny and thank you Gary.
darthsideous Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Hey Al, really nice work. Love old caddies
W-409 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 That's a sweet looking Cadillac! Those pics were worth freezing, too, these models just look so much better in outside pics. Great job with the paint and BMF, very nice and clean work all over.
