Jeffcad Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Hi guys. Today I share my last conversion. I have build it from an old JoHan's 1968 Coupe Deville kit. The kit was damaged so I decided to turn it into the 4 doors Brougham Cadillac was offering that year. The roof is completely new, higher and stretched towards the trunk, with new windows mouldings, new B and C pillars, new vent windows. The shoulder line on the body is also modified, more horizontal than the coupe. The interior is converted with plain front seats and wood-ish door panels, carpetting etc... New lower body mouldings to match the real car and set it apart from the Sedan Deville. Color is as close as "Spectre blue" with hand polished clear coats, and black matte vinyl top. Hope you'll like it. 1
yellowsportwagon Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Whoa this is a super clean job. Beautiful conversion man. You even made the correct bumper filler panels!! Way to go man!!
bbowser Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Very nicely done! Way more of these on the road than coupe devilles. Edited July 5, 2020 by bbowser Autospell
Spottedlaurel Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Wow! Fantastic work there, subtle but clearly comprehensive changes that have given it a great look, and very nicely built.
Ron Hamilton Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Beautiful rendition of one of my favorite Cadillacs.
espo Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 The conversion looks very realistic and I would never guess this started as a Coupe body.
doorsovdoon Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Nicely done. Amazing work on the conversion, and the colour scheme is great.

I still have to learn how to print my own decals to bring some of my conversions the names, scripts or crests they should normally have. Hope to do that soon.
Jim N Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 That is a spectacular model! The conversion is flawless. Amazing work!
Jeffcad Posted July 7, 2020 Author Posted July 7, 2020 Thank you all very very much. Your kind words are truly appreciated.
doorsovdoon Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Would love to build some four door stuff like this but too much work for me! Edited July 11, 2020 by doorsovdoon
