Been wondering what you have been upto with this build. Thanks for the update and Keep up the good work.
Nice work. looking good. but next time order a crossflow from speedway, looks like you built a new rad support anyway, so you could have saved big bucks and had a lot better cooling. I am running one in my cad, and just put one in mcphails truck. it has a 454 and you can't get that thing over 160 unless you put something in front of the radiator. they are awsum and very reasonable. about $170. and you have it the next day.,
i cant believe i have missed this thread,this is a great build.....and i have a big soft spot for 55 cads!!
I like the skirts, they echo the "torpedo" spear on the quarters of the '56's, which I liked on mine! Nice work.
Big Tim...I'm working hard on it...got the body stripped to bare metal, have been doing some body mods to it, hope to drive it to Moab this April...may only be in primer... Oh, wait til you see Dan's '54...we've changed it...a lot...!!! BTW, I STILL have those windshield clips you needed laying on my counter... Thanx Flynbrian48...those were a piece of work and they'll match the ... And 29 de soto, there's four installments previous to this one...do a search... R-
I hope Dan and your buddy are taking their coop's down to Moab too.Should be fun to see a whole line of mid 50's caddy's parked up. Still need those clips,thanks for reminding me,bad memory blame it on too many blows to the head playing rugby.
