• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Work junk, and junk... at work. By 'junk.

Did you meet Aunt Bunny and did she throw a shoe at any point? Ha, that was him wasn't it? I bet there were fast ones in that stable. If I built one from the ground up for myself it would look like a 1930s car (maybe truck). I'd like nothing more than to buy a pair of prefab frame rails and fab my ride from there up. But I'll always want my big GP too.

Hollywood roles are about as representational of actual personalities as the TV representation of presidents, ain't they? I know a guy in Burbank who used to work at a place where they fixed Caddys like you-all's. Seems to know quite a bit about them. We have one of those flatheads at the shop, I dig how the exhaust comes out the top and the radiator has like window blinds in front of it.

that shudder system is a joke so far we had 2 caddy's that had that system 1 ran fine with it and this one cant have it we had to use a socket to hold it permently open. the 1937 caddy we had was running to hot no matter if you were in winter or not. really nice car but need a ton of body work the guy who bought it owns the trucking company that ships all of walmarts goods with in the country.
 
Often, we pass time while sanding by playing would you rather... y'know with celeb chix current or vintage, and which would you rather if this one was dead a few hours or covered in sewage lol. It gets hilarious. I was stumped by MaryAnn or Jeannie.
 
Hood bird and interior peeks. Woops yeah that was my dusty elbow on the console, had been sanding primer on that filler panel. Pay no mind to the steering wheel and maybe shifter stick. I had said charcoal interior but this is black with red stitching. Hood gets sanded and re-cleared to bury ridges at color edges.












 




The fiberglass scoop body goes behind that piece and is awaiting lettering I think. The arrow piece sits about where the cone filter is now and below it is the ductwork to make scoop functional. We had it all up there briefly, it ought to look cool if nothing else.
 


Visualize the level of the TB. That curved panel has to sit on top of the radiator. Don't know of any radiators with caps on the side. I think it'd look better with nothing there and a carb.
 
It's gots an LS in it!!

Also, just an update, tried to paint the body panels myself... Not so well, and the clear I had ended up curing with extremely bad orange peel.
