BubbaBrown Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Looks like you could climb in and drive away. Really nice.

Classicgas Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Very nice. Rarely do I see the roof look good. Yours does.
BigTallDad Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Very nice looking. I like the auto-headlight-dimmer on the dash...you don't see those too often.
bbowser Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 That's a real beauty! The interior detailing is spot-on. How was the kit to build? I've got one in the stash that will rise to the top at some point
peekay Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 It takes real skill to get this kit to look this good.

I've got one in the stash that will rise to the top at some point The kit looks good but the fittings of the pieces are pretty bad nothing fits right in the way as it should be. Attention to the rear window that does not fit with the rear seat. I recommend pre-assembling all parts before painting because everything needs adjustments.

Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Looks amazing. Great color choice and build quality.
Dodge Driver Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 You did a fine job on this Caddy. Excellent fit and finish.
