48 Cadillac chop

making a 4dr hard top. i"ll keep posting pics as things progress.

 

looking pretty bad ass.
cant wait for more

 

Looking good, I look forward to see how you do the back window, big Cads chopped just kick ass............

 

I really like some of the work that you do. Please keep the updates coming this going to be another really nice car from your shop. Are you guys still trying to make the Grand National show with the 40 merc?

 

THAT is gonna be killer...lookin' good...

Seen my '55 Caddy build: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=329070&highlight=the+best+55+caddy+build

 

That's nice , looks kind of like a 4 door 49 Coupe de Ville . Really nice ride for the family !

 

Sweet. I like how you strengthened the B pillar. It looks clean, like it is supposed to be there.

Is the angled piece at the rear of the rear door opening serving a purpose, or just for aesthetics?

 

Good work so far. Should be real nice all completed. Keep us posted with more pics.

 

I'm loving it. What was done to the suspension? That's how I want my '49 to sit...

 

Thanks for posting the pics.... looking forward to the updates

Happy Trails, Mick

 

Very nice. I can't wait to see the end result.

 

Steve Stanford's a genius.
This is gonna be amazing.

 

Man that is going to be cool! Hope to see some progress pics soon.

 

Fantastic! Is that a Steve Stanford rendering?

 

the 40 Merc will be at the show. it's at the interior shop as we speak.

the Cad is bagged all around with Shockwaves.

just for aesthetics on the rear door.

yes it's a Stanford rendering.

 

Dang. That is gonna look fantastic

 

Subscribed nice work!

 

going to be badass!!!!!

 

if it ends up looking anything like the drawing then this is gonna be amazing!

 

Very cool! I'll be watching this thread. I dream of hardtopping my 4dr Pontiac.

 

Look how long the rear door glass would have to be if that notch weren't there. My guess is that notch effectively shortens the length that the door glass has to be and will allow it to roll all the way down without hitting the rear wheel house. Lots of mid 50's 4 door hardtops had something similar, it's actually quite clever to incorporate it into the build.

Looks real good, looks like a nice car to start with too.

 

Cadillac did that from the factory with the 57 4 door hardtops. I like it.

 

Awesome!

 

looks sick!

 

Great work so far

 

pretty cool car , cant wait to see how it goes on

 

I love the work you guys do!!

 

Damn! I would have thought "hardly worth the effort" about a major custom effort on a '48 Cad 4door, but Steve Stanford is a magician at making silk purses from sows' ears. I'll be eager to see the final result!

 

we cleaned the roof inside and out. nothing better than to work with clean metal.

 

Fascinating! I'm intrigued by this Cadillac
