Had a great day today shooting scenes and interview with Piero " EVEL " De Luca for the MAD FABRICATOR SOCIETY volume 6.... I'm very honored and speechless!!!! Between my wife buying me this fucked up chevy for me to learn on and this forum .... it's totally changed my life..... for the better!!!!! I'm just super stoked and grateful!!!!

Can't say what has already been said, but, this is very inspirational. You should be proud. Thanks for posting the updates, your level of work is top notch.

Thanx again guys!!!!


I need some HAMB input..... we've been looking at wheels for a while now and we are totally running out of cool and appropriate wheels for this build!!!
We were leaning towards cadillac wires, but it just seems too easy and simple and also other famous kustom cadillacs run them.... SO?!?!?! If you have any suggestions on a cool wheel for the cadillac, let us know!!!!


I really like the wheels on D'Agostino's " STARFIRE" 1957 Cadillac and the " GOLDEN STARFIRE " 61 Oldsmobile.

 

really steriotypical, but some big sombrero caps and wide whites. theyre just never out of style especially at home where they belong

 

Oh i forgot to mention we are running skinny white bias plies.
and that is totally my wife's decision, she knows what's up!!!!!

 

How about a set of mid 50's Cadillac Sabre wheels.

I know they could be hard to come by and pricey.

Or some new alloy wheels that resemble the Cad Sabre's.

Good Luck, Have Fun

 

Just googled cadillac sabre wheels and that's exactly whats on that STARFIRE........ Did not know that!! thanx for that!!!

 

Hey ! I really like 59 cadillac eldorado hubcaps , pretty expensive though. Or maby chrome reverse ? Got some pics for you

 

Wow, Ian...that back bumper is a work of art man! Funny sign about the bare metal...hahaha

its weird, i was thinking the chrome reverse to, but they seem so simple compared to the car. but then again, maybe thats what it needs

 

Yea I think it would look pretty cool , simple like you said but simple is not always bad you know ?

 

Thanx a lot Rob!

And thanx for the suggestions guys. I do like the chrome or painted OEM type wheel with some ingredients thrown in it, but does it really fit with the "" SPACE AGE... JETSON'S "" kinda theme?!?!?! It's a hard one!!!! I don't know????

No hubcaps for sure.

 

Had to google them too, but those Cad Sabres are very cool. Just the job I think, if you don´t want to use the Cad spokes.

 

Something like this, . . . . . yeah this

 

^winning

 

Insane... but the $$$$$$$ ..... I'm scared!!!! no way we're refinancing the house for a set of wheels!!!!!!

LOOKS KILLER!! I think these are the same wheels Donnie Baird has on his Olds?!?!?!?
