    It's been a long time since I've posted anything. Kinda got sidetracked with more modern cars, but I traded and sold some of my projects that were going nowhere to get something further along. I now have this '52 cadillac that hopefully I can get finished up and enjoy it. I'm already on the hunt for some missing pieces, and the first thing it needs is brakes that work.

    It has a chevy 350/TH400 combo. wouldn't have been my first choice, but it is all rebuilt, has A/C and runs great, so it'll stay.

    Wow!!!Nice!!
    Always had a thing for the ´48-53 -era Cadillacs, I like that chop!!
    Whoever chopped that roof had the good taste to go the extra mile to keep the beautiful wrap-around backlite and the surrounding stainless trim. The only way to do this correctly, to my eye. What a beautiful flow it has!
    By all means, keep us posted. I´m a Chevy -guy myself, it always fancies me to see what it takes to revive these beautiful old Cadillacs.
