Does anyone else have cool pics of 62 caddys?
thanks

It wouldn't have anything to do with that wilde coyote cactus coming through the roof. wuld it? I love this shot. Looks sooooooooooo bad ass! I have one of Billy Gibbons caddy that looks like that. KNUX!

 

what does it cost to have a roof flaked like that? that is awesome.

 

Can you outline the paint scheme and an outline of what you did? Like...silver base and then what?

I'll point Donnie to this thread for the answer to this... but if you look at the whole thread (if you haven't), you can see generally what he was doing...

PM Donnie with what you want done... he's "lownslow" on here... or go to www.imperialcustoms.com and email him from the site...

GAWD DAMN is that thing AWESOME!!!! what a pimp... nice work on the paint. mucho impressivo!! one of the sexiest Cads i've ever seen!!! lucky bastard!!

 

Damn that car is awesome.....................Makes me miss the 61 Caddy I sold a few years back

 

I like it a lot. Congrats! Looks great

 

oh man, i just love the way this turned out. It just looks amazing. I think it would look good with Bellflowers on the back too....

This has gotta be the best looking '62 i've seen. Cheers to that.

shit that car came out nice

 

Beautiful.

The decision to leave a pinstripe of body color on the roof was a smart way to tie the two together.

 

I'm having trouble picking words to describe how I feel about your Cad.
I wish my keyboard had a LUST key.

 

Absolutely love it! Such a simple build . . . way fun!

 

It's the BOMB!

Did you bag the front or go with Shockwaves?

I know you'll enjoy the shit out of it!

 

'Bagged... I'll try to get a pic of the front suspension this weekend to show where the shocks got relocated...

Okay, so I just figured out the whole "photo hosting site" and posting URLs... so here's some full-size pics that the HAMB doesn't have to use memory to host!






Woohooo! Teknoligy kan b funn!

 

lookin' sick, brutha. love me a 61-62 coupe. miss my 61

 

Well, over a year ago I changed out the Supremes on this Caddy for some '53 Skylarks... figured I could post some pics up here, as it is another part of the "evolution"...






And one more gratuitous roof shot for good measure!

 

I've never seen this around town?! NICE car, love the wires too....

 

Perfection!!!!

 

Yeah, I don't actually get it out much, except sometimes I'll take it back and forth to work on a Friday if I don't need to pick up my kids... plus I keep having little bugs to work out and not enough time to work on 'em, so it's been down a lot lately...

I've taken it out to the Scottsdale Pavilions occasionally, last time was about a month ago, I think? Maybe more... some of the local guys over on Los Boulevardos are talking about a regular meet at the Pavilions monthly - you ever get on that board? I think we decided the second Saturday there and fourth Friday at the 35th Ave/Northern cruise... lemme know if you want any more info.

And I plan to be at Primers this year with the car too...

 

Yeah I check Los Boulevardos frequently. Well, not so much lately, but yeah I check in!

 

Wow,I can't wait to get my '63 done.Man,I had a '62 sedan for all of half an hour,and now my buddy has it up for sale on Craigslist in OC.I wish my other buddy Justin never sold his flaked roof '62 Caddy.

My '62(for a brief moment)



My buddy Justin's '62 that he sold

 

Love the Cad, if my 65 was a hardtop I would flake the roof like you did.

 

Beautiful stuff.
