I have been doing some research in the shadows on here hunting through old threads and google, etc etc Im looking for sites specific to 50's caddy's (1950 62 series to be exact) but more knowledge based and technical...I want to know where parts are available, as far as sheet metal patches, parts, interior/upholstery, specs and such. Maybe some cool help like other parts that fit for swaps or cheap/easy or easier upgrades using oem/aftermarket parts for things like disc brakes and power brakes and things of that sort. Maybe some step by step photo based walkthroughs and more? Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a 51 CDV and I learned real quick, Cadillacs = Big Money. I dont know if they make replacement sheetmetal for them since thier body styles were all on thier own. AllCad.com has been helpful, but there are alot of Cad folks here on the board that are just as knowlegeable.
