Here's some pics for ya FatDog!
Started it's life as an "old man" convertible before being heavily customized! :-P

Stripped all the old paint off to bare metal, repaired some rust areas in fenders, and primed up..


Checking clearance of tires and wheels for any rubbing..


Building the pump and battery racks for the Hydraulic setup..


Slammed on the Ground!


Spraying the Acid Rain Metallic yellow, with 3 different sizes/colors of Gold Flake!


Taping off some of the patterns..



Multi-color candies & pearls w/ some lace effects..

That is one of the badassiest rides I've ever seen. Those Cadillacs are already long, but when you slam them to the ground I swear they gain another three feet in length. :lol: I love that last picture of you having to kneel to put gas in the car.

Thanks for posting, JC! :cool:

Holy crap! :-O
What happens if you ever happen to hit a bump with this ride? :-O
It is crazily LOW! :w00t:

My big dream cars (next to my beloved 1960 VW Herbie) are still a DeLorean and a 1959 Cadillac Ambulance/Hearse to convert it to - you know :lol:

Superb work JC. I like the "Sitting on the frame" stance. You know how to represent. That style of painting is definitley an art. Can you do that to our MiniVan? :w00t: Slow & low (with a drop top) :thumbsup: :yes: Love that fender skirts too, btw.

Ha, badassiest! I like that.. I've always thought that as well, the lower you make a car the longer it looks!
I'm the builder/painter, my friend is the owner of the Cadillac who you see driving/ and gassing it up.. :-)

Yeah, that's what he uses the hydraulics for.. Lifts it up when driving, bounces it a lil, then lays it on the ground when parked!
Has side-to-side action also..
