Customs 49 Cadillac chop and Sectioned. Gettin er done!

I really like it nice job. Rags

 

Dam James your caddy is looking real Bad Ass in a real good way. If you get Your Caddy to Santa Maria I will have to park my new merc along way from you or it will get no attechion.

 

it'll be there

 

Just got done reading this all the way through. Between the chop, section and 540 c.i. Caddy mill this is one over the top Caddy! I'm really digging what you've done. Will be following from here on out. Eli

 

Over the top. Come on buddy......

 

rad!

 

James those hips are lookin sweet man, looks really really smooth man.
Cheers darren

 

James, mate - looking amazing,...not sure about the colour though!

Sorry thought I would take the conversation away from the sandals!

 

looking greeeeatt james !!!!!

 

WOW...!!! That's a great look...you don't even need words to describe those pix...the Caddy is coming out great...

FWIW James, my Sedanet is still in the shed...a '60 Pontiac Catalina nine passenger wagon got in the way...and it's about to go around the block on its maiden voyage...and then the '60 Chevy two door wagon is getting rolled in -have a 454", with nitrous and a built T-400, waiting under the bench for that one. Once that one gets drivable, then the '48 Sedanet will get pushed back in the garage...

Thanx for asking...and I'm just enjoying the '55 Caddy right now...

objet d'art
I'm in lust.

 

Nice work! It sure helps inspire the rest of us when you take the time to post your build pics. Thanks!

 

Hell yeah!!! What a great car!!!!

 

The car has a great flow to it!

 

Nice job James, It is going to be stunning when completed oops never mind it already is. You have just inspired me to get back to work on my 49. I was losing a bit of interest in what I was doing but I am now back on track. Geter Done...lol

Thanks man and keep up the good work and I am certain you are also an insperation to others on this site.

 

What engine are you using as the base for the 540 c.i. motor?

 

In my best Joey Lawrence impression... WOW!!!!!

 

The Cad is Lookin Real good! Great job on the chop

 

Hey James..That will be one stump puller killer engine...the only trouble with Caddy's are the valve train..have to spend a lot of money to bullet proof them..what trans are you going to run....I'm happy to run the 425 BB as a cruiser still got plent of OOOPH!!! for what I want...in my 49.......Doug

 

Love the flow of this car, looking awesome. Great work James!

 

Hi James...Work on it nearly every day......I'll post some more pics in my build album during the week...............Doug

 

Killer car, looks cool can't wait to see it finished

 

Unless you need an adjustable set-up (for a solid cam) the billet 1.7:1 roller rockers from MTS are a nice way to get the job done for $500. They're actually Harland Sharp rockers...with a good set of springs and these rockers my Caddy goes north of 5k rpm without issue. Of course the Edelbrock intake chokes much past 5k...

BLA, BLA, BLA

Back to your build!!

BIGREDTODD

 

Nice progress! its gettin there....keep it goin now!

 

Hey James,
I wish I had as much time as you to work on my 49.
Thanks again for the vent windows mate, I will somehow repay the favor.
The caddy is lookin delicious.... Keep it up man. Can't wait to see what you have planned for the front half. Are you going to use the caddy side stainless?
Thanks again
Cheers darren

 

Ok, its been 6 hours since yer last post...is it done yet???? Really good flow, love the profile and cant wait to see the front treatment. Do you have a color picked yet?


-LUKEY-

 

sweet good job

 

I choked too on the rockers, which limits my 472 to 4500, but it's scary enough at that, so I'm good!

Beautiful, beautiful car!

Brian

 

James,just a heads up, Potter Automotive is no longer owned by the Potters,Cadco bought them out just recently.
Marty from MTS will take care of your caddy needs,can't beat them for price and service.

One of my dream rides. AWESOME!
