ditto sir ditto, to bad you dont live closer, I took her to a car show saturday and I entered it, low and behold the judges never even looked at the car. must be to hmmm rusty for them haha kinda a joke this car is clean. but i absolutely love the way this car is going, first car I've ever got the balls to show ( im hard on my work ) but either way I dig the 66 man!! looks like one hell of a good start

I like going to car shows and sitting back and watch people's exspressions. Some people get it and some don't, either way it's amusing.

thank you guys, and yes the expressions are priceless!! i would like to lower it more, not like i drive over speed bumps anyways... but we will see interior is damn near perfect, just putting gauges that i trust in electric oil pressure gauge , temp , and voltage, all factory gauges work but just wanted to be sure. im looking for a set of factory hub caps for a sort of finishing look

Ohh sweet, more Cadillac guys, heres my 70 Deville, before and where it is now. I just bought a cherry picker off Craigslist today to get hte engine out.

Going to chop the springs to get her low as can be, chop the hood, and all kinds of other madness. Can't wait.

Day I bought her.
