    Outstanding.

    But if I may be a nitpicking asswipe, why the alternator?

    You are so modest about your skills, that's a very commendable quality.

    Everyone knows Kurt as a custom car Collector. One of the
    koolest things about him is he drives them. Yes, Drives them!!
    You think the pictures are kool, you should see them in motion.
    This will not be setting around in a museum. This Caddy will be
    driven. My hats go off to the drivers.

    Happy Trails,

    Mick

    I love the car and I love Kurt, but alternators is NO necessity for driving a
    car. If you want 12 volts, a nice generator will work just fine. :)
    And the alternators looks.......yikes.... [​IMG] Sorry, but they ruin any nice
    engine compartment. BUT, I can't see the alternator in the pics, Nads?
    Do I need glasses? :D I know where I THINK it is, but can't see it..

    Rodbuilder!
    You have really done a fabulous job on this car. I will PM you about some
    details for my own '41.

    I was waiting for someone to comment about the A/C.......

    Alternator ruin the engine compartment??? Maybe, but
    Your forgetting very important, this is a custom.
    The hood is going to be shut most of the time.

    Isn't This 41 Caddy Westergard Car The One That Strange
    Motion Did For Him. I Think Tim Strange Was The One That Did The Body Work And Paint On It According To A Friend Of Mine.

    I just recieved a few new photo's of the now completely finished 41 Cadillac.
    Thought I post them.. we just dont see enough early style customs here lately.

    Great photos on this gogeous early style custom car... showing the wonderful shapes and lines.
    (more inspiration for Jim and his coupe)

  16. That's just gorgeous! By the way, RichardD wants to know where he can get some air cleaners like that to fit a 94, he needs 6 of 'em.
