Cool custom job.
« on: July 06, 2020, 05:29:57 PM »
With a fuel injected Caddy 500, and a 4 spd overdrive auto......yes please.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

That sort of has a photoshopped look but I like it. I like it a lot.
People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can’t put into words.

If there is only one picture of it then it most likely is photoshopped. It also is a rather long distance shot.

There were some coach companies that made limos and hearses from what Cadillac sold as a commercial chassis. A few were made into what the funeral industry refers to as flower cars which were essentially a Cadillac pick up in the style of an El Camino. There was also a California conversion company called Caribu that converted Cadillacs into station wagons and El Camino style pickups. Starting with one of those conversions would be big head start on a car like that.

The body has a certain appeal but air bag suspension and/or dropping any car that low just ruins it.

I have attempted to "fix" those cars coming into the shop inevitability talking of the only way to align it is to return to stock.  The car club mod exspurts alway know better  somehow.

Tried to fix ar ride suspensions and would just turn and run today.  Saw some sweet 50s cars so mangled that you couldnt give them to me.  Magazines full of street rods (down in the dirt),  til I want to barf.   Interesting, yea in a way.
