  10. Hey Von they are both 2 doors. My old 1 is a series 62 hardtop and the new one is a coupe de ville. Just trying to make a righteous sled from a Caddy that handles like a big slot car. 455 Olds powered and 94 vette suspension, should be a blast

  12. Well life got in the way. My wife was stating with her mother back in mich and her room burned down to the ground. Looks like a ****py dollar store alarm clock plugged in behind her bed. Thank goodness she took our 2 yr old granddaughter back to her mom the night before for a break. If she was there she woulda been a goner. So now my wife is here in Pa with me so we are just trying to better our marriage together. So I am slowing down on the cad to spend time with her as I have been on the road for 3 1/2 years. Updates in the not to distant future
