I’m still recovering from my last chemotherapy so I wanted to do a more “simple“, less modified build to keep my rear end from the couch and to stay engaged. This Johan ‘64 Cadillac kit was in my stash for quiet a while now. Bargained it from eBay as a started and partially painted project with the intention to turn it into mild custom. A few parts were missing but everything essential was there to get it done. It is mostly box stock with a set of Revell Foose Cadillac wheels, lowered suspensions and shaved handles and emblems. And just because I didn’t like rectangular fender skirts I installed ‚67 Pontiac rear fenders.

I paced the original kit box on the rear seat bench, maybe the owner of this ride wants to have a model of it in his display case…

Hope you are recovering is going well. The two-tone colors look good together and the rear wheel well opening changes the side view in a good way. Like how you did the interior.

Oliver,

I hope the chemo is going well.  I know it’s no fun.  Stellar work as always and as a nod to Spike’s comment I would like to add… das ist sehr schon!
