41 Caddy taildragger update (WITH PICS!!!)

Jim, Jim, Jim....that thing is sweet. You've been a busy fella! Still planning on the fadeaways???? I'm glad you stuck to this one instead of the dodge and plymoth.

 

Call Kurt...Tell him what you just found.....we wont say nothin!

 

I poked myself in the eye looking at those pictures.

That car looks so amazingly beautiful. Even it's it's birthday suit. That is definitely a type of car that you don't see everyday. Something about old caddies gets to me. The fact that you incorporated those early-mid 50's quarterpanels makes me want to wet myself. They look like they've been there all along. I wish I had 1% of the skill or ability it takes to create such a visual masterpiece such as that.

Can we get a pic or two of the front of the car?

 

really nice work.

 

Quarter looks very nice Jim! Going to get the other one done before you bring the car here again?
You have done well, Grasshopper!

Kartsa, the wheelwells have been a source of discussion! Jim kinda likes the normal Buick style skirt, while I was of the opinion that we should put in the wheelwell opening from the later Caddy (49, 50 ??)...the short, squared off ones, and use the skirts as well. Brings the eye lower in the back of the car.
