  • I bought another caddy as a parts car.

    I bought this car for the body since it's in much better shape than the other one I have. The guy I got it from grafted the front end of a camaro on the front and did a heck of a job. After several years we've finally been making some progress on the Caddy. The red caddy body is loose and ready to be put on a rotiserre. I need to seperate the other caddy from the unmolested frame and pull the engine. A lot of the chrome work is done but some of it needs to be re-chromed thanks to crappy shrome shops.
    Here's some pics. Black one is the first one I bought and the red one is the one I got 3 weeks ago.

    My friend and I pulled all of the door off, trunk lid, and braced it up yesterday.

                Those welds are extra gross. I would not feel safe in that car.

                  It looks like those were just some quick bootyfab welds just to mock it up.

                    He said is only mistake was that he cut the frame in the wrong place. He had another caddy just like it and the placement looked better the welds were the same.

                      Gotta be original. A newer swap is too easy.

                        One of those needs to make it into a Model A, or a '40 Ford.
