Customs Lets see some kustom caddy's!!!!

the 66 was a small c-notch,little work on lower A-arms ,tunnel drive line,also a 1/2 tube on the rockers,it sets nice,I have more work in my 67 coupe and it still looks like a 4 wheel drive,like my 61 sets on the frame and the rockers are 3 inchs off the floor,thats where i want to drive it

 

Is it bagged, Oz?

oh ya

 

My new baby... '62 Series 62 4dr

 

Yea Oz. I am a Cadillac / Cadillac owner too.

'95 STS BLK/BLK Mint condition
and the '57

 

i don't mean to pry, but i'm curious what the 1/2 tube on the rocker was for. was that added to extend the rocker to the ground... kinda like a cheat piece, haha.

 

Here's one that came to the MoFo party...

 

Another shot...

 

^^^ something like this one is going to be my next Cad.

 

I didn't get any info on the car. It was really nice. I'm sure it will show up again.

 

It is chopped, they dropped the windsheild down and filled it with silicon i think?
If it is the same car i'm thinking of.
A very cool car, like all caddy's.

no prob you can pry away,the 1/2 tube is to clean up the pinch weld on the rocker,its faster to do this then to fill every spot weld,the car is no lower with it, but the rocker look lower

 

bob that 50 cad is sick,I think I put myself through to much work I body dropped myy 55 and for what another 1'' thats about dumb,that dude is cruzing that cool 50 and mine is still sitting in a corner 1'' lower,p.s brad that 50 cads not chopped

 

It looks like he found a "Grandma Car" somewhere and bagged it. Pretty good idea,I think...

 

yeah how cool is that,I cant afford a nice car like that, so I have to start with a piece of crap,cads are my weakness,I have like 30 or more of them,Im thinking of posting some pics on here, I kinda got into some 60s cads also,I have a bagged 67 coupe, a chopped and bagged 63,a bagged 61 and a bagged 64 rag

 

Oz, tell me about your '55...I am building a '55 Coop DeVille...

not really alot to tell , one weekend
I thought it wasen't low enough so i got the brite idea of body dropping it,alot of work for a 1'', I chopped the top 3'' im not done with the rear window, I might put a small rear window in it,im going to cut the windsheld on sink it,the only custom work is to shave the handles,leave the stock headlights and taillights,I think im even going to paint it kinda like stock, maybe light blue and white,hope that help you,if you have more questions ill answer if I can

 

Thanx, sounds like a lot of work for only 1 inch...

Not going to chop mine, but will build skirts, shave it, bag it and do a grille change and rear bumper change...I'll make a sled of it...it's about ready to hit the street...did a body off on it...been at it two and 1/2 years so far...

thanks for willing to share information Oz. i have a '66 that i want to bag in the near future so I'm always looking for information on what other Cad owners did with theirs 'cause i've never done this sort of thing before and don't really know what i'm doing, haha. i wanted to know what bags your son put on his '66. thanks.

 

i dont think anyone posted any of this one. I saw it at paso. pretty cool that the seats lay down, and the suicde doors. I also like the color, but not too crazy about the rims..


here's elvis'



saw this one on the freeway in pomona..

 

he used conitech 2600,I like slam specialties

 

oz, thanks for the pics and tips. this post is getting better all the time. i'm hoping to score a "grandma" 62 sedan this coming week. a 24,000 mile car all original and priced just right.

 

The lavender 49 fastback used to belong to Brian Everett of the Beatniks' CC.He also owns Route 66 Tattoo.It was dark blue originally.It was also featured in American Rodder mag way back when.The car used to be called Caddyo Daddyo.

 

damn i love this thread. very inspirational.

hey Oz, you definitely need to post some stuff about your Cadillac collection.
