Customs *** 1961 Cadillac CDV Kustom build ***

Some polished caps with bullets and wide whites would look nice.
The caps are stainless so they polish up well-better than chrome
Stock caps on my 62 with 4" spires

I always thought the polished 61 caps were tit's. 57's have been done to death. The chrome Sabers are pretty nice though. Ian you can make your own caps and start a whole new trend.

 

BAAAAHHAHAHAHAHA! So true! So how 'bout it, Ian?

 

Thank you all for the good words!!!! makes me a very happy man!!!!

The Sabers are awesome and im gonna hook up with with LEOCAD this weekend and take one to the chromer to see what's up, but i'm really liking the 61 caps! I've been kind of focused on them for the last couple days....
I wouldn't know where to begin to make hubcaps!!!!

^^^^^^^

Just so you know that rear bar you gave me, really was the base for this whole rear treatment i'm working on , and I am super stoked on how it looks so far......I'll post pics friday!!!!!


Thank you so much guys!!!

 

Damn Ian, I thought my truck build was going quick, I cant even keep up with you bro...I just had to catch up on like 250 posts! The metal Fab looks amazing and the trunk came out bitchin too. Your skills are awesome and teaching yourself to tig is only going to take you to another level dude!

BTW....I dig how neat you keep your shop...I do the same!

 

Hey Thanx so much Eric!!!!! means a lot brother!!!

Ok, so dude i wanna apologize, been so caught up in my own shit that i totally forgot about your truck build....... WOW!!!! IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL DUDE!!!
You're doing a killer job brother!!!!! If i had a truck this is EXACTLY how i would want it!!!!

See you soon hopefully!!!

And YES, the shop HAS to be clean...... Just the way it is!!!! Last night i put all my tools away before locking the shop..... Today, I need the same tools...... HAHAHAH!!!! OCD!!

 

Hahah, yeah bro Im the same way....except no more 1500 sqft shop in Maine for me, just my side yard and carport paintbooth!! But I still keep it clean!

Thanx man, ive been pushing like mad to get it compllete as I start work soon and you know how progress slows rapidly when that happens. Im hoping to fire it in the next 2 week! Later bro

 

Yes they are usually in body color inserts with ribs polished.

Im thinking it might look cool to reverse the body coloring to only ribs and the rest of it polished?

 

Was quite honored to be able to help Ian with an extra set of hands on the bumper, thanks for showing me some of the ropes homie.

 

love the look and concept so far Ian...cant wait to see more

 

I love seeing the updates on this build! Keep at it man, it's mindblowing already, can't wait to see more!

 

I've said it before and will keep saying it; Awesome work Ian!

 

Are you tigging without gloves or resting your bare arm on the metal when your getting shocked?

 

Thank you so much for the nice comments guys!!!!!


This rear treatment has been A LOT MORE WORK than i thought !!!

I did a whole lot of work for a few days and was very unhappy with the results so i cut it all out!!! Im not gonna settle for it's ok...so i started all over again!!!
