Please Keep In Mind, That We Only Work On These Projects When We Have Spare Time Left Or When We Just Feel Like It. These Are Our Private Projects!
We bought the 1956 Cadillac in May '03 and by November '03 the transformation slowly began ...
Plan A was to chop and lower this 4-door sedan and keep it suttle. We modified that plan slightly and decided to have a removable hardtop. Well, after we cut the roof off and were preparing to strip all unneccessary accessories and steel, and constantly driving this big thing around without a roof, Jim switched to ...
Plan B: ditching the 4 doors, shortening the length by 17" and converting it into a two door removable hardtop.
If you know Jim personally, you know that this was not his "final answer"!!
Plan C ??: after getting soaked several times after attending local cruise-ins with our "work-of-art", Jim decided to make it a true convertible instead. Currently we are in the process of mounting and modifying a convertible top frame to fit the Cadillac.
UPDATE: Scored a Buick convertible top frame and made that sucker fit!!
Come back and visit our site often and see the progress unfold before your very own eyes!
"Midnight Special":
We scored the 1964 Buick Special last summer. It is Jim's favorite toy at this time.With the 403 Olds engine and tires just for barking ... You really can't blame him.
For you experts out there: Jim cut the Gremlin hood up and robbed the little scoop; then he welded it on to the Buick's hood and added a pinch of '67 Chevelle!
