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

I can't wait until sunday night when I can see what Ian has accomplished over the weekend. I can't say it enouigh........ AWESOME work !!!! Very inspirational.

 

I think it looks good also. Your a clever fella with that really cool press brake too Ian. Your work table is like a swiss army knife for fabrication. I dig it!!! Thanks for keeping us up to date. Can't wait for some pics of the caddy out in the open.

 

I really like your style. Been studing the chop you did on Monster's '51 chevy, SO fuckin dope man. THis Caddy is gonna snap knecks. Thanks for the inspiration.

 

You make it look so easy. great work.

 

Perfect in every way, I can't wait to see the finished product

 

Absolutely incredible Ian!!!!! So classy!

 

A friend sent me this and it reminded me of you.
In a good way that is.
James

I absolutely love this thread, You are an artist. Great thread, awesome updates!

 

REALLY???? WHATEVER!!! It's gonna be the shit!

 

Thanx guys so much!!!

Made up my mind on the wheels 100%... might not be everyone's cup o tea ,but i like the stock caps!!!

Looks nice, they're not gonna break the bank and you don't see too many people running them!!!!

 

Great choice ! Very clean and simple , that's gonna look great when it's painted !!

 

Good Choice.. Are you running the vouges?

 

Great choice on the caps Ian!

 

Perfect choice, I love them! Should you ever change wheels, hook a brother up!

 

good choice on the caps. I thought from the beginning that they worked.

 

hey thanx a lot guys!!!!!

Piero, not sure on vogues?!?!?!? gonna see what's out there first!!!! suggestions???

 

Purrfect choice Ian, why change it if it is already kool. I love the lower fin work,
keep it up and keep us posted with the progress....

Happy Trails, Mick

 

Love the caps, Ian. That thing is sooo sexy!

 

nice choice. those look killer!!!

 

Ian you have to run mustard over mayo they look GREAT!!!! and the caps are perfect!

 

I think Hurst is making some sorta U.S royals.. those would rule... PM Cody see what hes got..

sorta like these but not....If you can find these it would be bad ass. but it would be hard cause there rare.. but maybe ebay??


otherwise a nice 2 inch bias ply woulds be tastee.... the Voges are a bit to pimp daddy...

 

I really like your choice using those Caddy Caps! I was hoping you would go with them. They look BADASS!!! on the car Ian.

 

Hey thanx so much guys!!! wasn't sure people would dig " THE AFFORDABLE " choice of wheels!!!

As far as tires, i think vogues are nice on some cars, but not for my wife's Cadillac. Piero is right on the money as far as i'm concerned!!!

THANX AGAIN!!!!!

 

Dammit Ian!!! You "stole" my idea for my wheel setup...lol...

I literally have the hubcaps and centercaps in the garage...except my car is about 2 years behind yours, and I want to run wide whites.

great work man!

EDIT: question is...are you gonna run discs or drums?

 

LOL!!! Hey man, use the wheel set up, There is nothing original about what i'm doing.... these caps have been around since 1961!!!! Just like the sombreros!!!!

Im gonna run discs in the front. i want my wife to drive this Cadillac and i want it SAFE and TURN KEY and easy to drive and stop!!!

 

On a sadder note , the Cadillac won't be done for the GNRS!
It's not time..... It's $$$$$$!!!

Oh well... Shit happens and it's just the way it is!!!!

It'll be done when it's done!!!!
