    the custom side trim for the top that follows the drip rail has been made. it's just the tedious work of had filling and sanding them to make them perfect for chrome.

    kinda slow on it cause we got hammered with a bunch of small repair jobs. but we have someone going back and forth on it. i'll get update pics soon.

    the center post will be removable. it's for when the glass rolls up. Cadillac actually had a factory car with that option. but we've learned it's really rare.

    the 3/4" trim below the drip rails was hand formed. welded to a bracket that will screw in from under the drip rail.

    the front doors had a new upper skin formed. due to the vent windows taken out. there was a bow in the door from it and from yrs of people pulling on the edges. now it's straight and true.
