My '54--last registered in '77 before I found it 3-4 years ago. Been quite a process/experience on a poor-boy budget, but it's getting there......

I, too, have a soft spot for vettes--my dad has owned the same '66 coupe since 1971 and that's what my brother and I grew up working on....
I think I know the one you're talking about--it was Nicholas Cage's tattoo in Raising Arizona (love that movie). Here's a little info, although...
Fresh out of a barn two years ago and 26 years since it had been registered: [IMG] Finally on the road two weeks ago: [IMG]
Very nice--although I admit I'm partial to the cadillac :) A '54 model with paint to match your DeSoto is what I drive. I see it's your first...
Does anyone on here personally know the guy who owns that purple '53(?) Cadillac on the first page of photos? I met him for just a moment last...
The full coverage on my '54 Caddy is by Hagerty and was sold to me by the local Allstate agent. I stated a value of $15,000 and it costs me...

Careful, bro--the last guy to make such a suggestion wound up at the bottom of a lake with an 18" billet aluminum wheel strapped to his leg (then...
I'm cheating a little because mine's a '54, but there's a "little" similarity. Bought it 1-1/2 years ago for $1900 with a frozen motor and a nice...
Hey guys--looking for some tuning suggestions because I'm stumped. Got a '54 with the 331 and single Carter 4-barrel. Engine was stuck when I...
Nice cadillac--I wish mine was as nice! I have a '54 that I am feverishly trying to turn into a daily-driver, but it seems like every time I fix...
Here's a few of my '54, starting with when I dragged it home last January and then when I finally painted it over Thanksgiving. Still trying to...
Here's a link to the original color chart--it's the darker Biscay Green, not the Shoal Green. (you may have to select 1954 colors to make the...
Hey guys - Here's the deal--my wife is pregnant with our first (due in two weeks), so I am getting ready to sell my 1954 Cadillac. It is...
Here's a couple of mine--spent this last weekend tearing out the entire brake system and front wheel bearings. Have to put it back together next...
I've got a front fender for my '54 Caddy coming from this salvage guy in/via Canada. Canadian $ conversion charge made a nice dent in my credit...
Hoboy, that Caddy looks great--and since you asked, here are a couple of progress pics. I have just replaced the rear window and am waiting on a...
Thanks everyone for the input--when you've spent months of greasy work getting all of the mechanicals right, you don't want to go and screw up the...
I hate to start yet another paint thread, but I don't want to hijack someone else's. I have read at least 30 threads on here regarding the best...
Boy, I would love to know if that muggyweld product actually worked in a structural situation--not just for filling gaps or voids. My door vent...
If I ever (and this seems like a big "if" right now) get it to the point where I can think about nothing but cosmetics, I would actually love to...
Hey guys - I've been lurking around the board for a while, but I haven't had a new project recently to post any pics of. Well, I've always been...
I know it's not the accepted method of modifying a truck on this board, but since it's a '57, I'll throw in a couple of pics. This is one that I...
