Projects The Best 1955 Cadillac build

Man that grille and parking light detail is slick as puppy-dog .. you know.

Good to see those cars on the road together, that is quite a sight. Too bad about the engine, is it leaking it out or do you have a ring/compression problem?

Absolutely bitchin!!

 

I love the grill. It fits the theme of the car perfect!

 

Love the grill!!!!

 

Thank you...

From what I've been told about Caddy 500" engines...the heads use some kind of "plastic" valve guides...and those wear badly... From what I see, the right side of the engine puffs blak smoke, so I'm thinking the rings are bad as well...we'll find out in a month or two...

Your 55 coupe is coming along nicely,I was very impressed by the coupe when I saw it in 'real life' down at the Gunnison show and cruisin about.

Hats off to you Roger for a fantastic thread here. My 56 hearse project has been stalled trying to figure around a few issues. You have given me a lot of inspiration as well as some ideas to get back on track. Many thanks my friend and keep it going. We all need people like you posting just this sort of thing. Excelsior! John
