yeah i like that Sputz, add some red and white pinstriping on the bonnet, some half moon headlight covers, full fender skirts and drop it a little more in the back and i'll take it. i wasn't thinking about a kustom grille (especially since i found NOS grille bars) but that and the one piece bumper looks real mad, where can you get the bullet indicators in amber colour?

thanks, nice work

I'm pretty sure American Auto Parts do the '59 Caddy bullet lenses in Red, Amber and White, leadslead_van. 8) (Of course you can go the clear glass 'spice rack' bullets with amber bulbs..like yours truly :lol: :lol: )
Paul 'Smooth Customs' Kelly will be happy you picked the full skirts, have to ask him if he makes FC ones as yours is a van 'n all.

cool do the caddy ones fit alright? did you make your own bullets?

If the Caddy lenses don't fit...MAKE 'em fit! :twisted: That's what I do :lol: .
The sedan's coming along had a bit of a medical hassle last & this week so there's been not much done on the car. I'll try to finish the bullet indicators today (although they'll stay in primer until I buy the 6 litres of paint for the re-spray). I'll take more photos and stick 'em up on the thread when finished.
Just got off the phone from Paul so he's at the workshop today (mind you he's got enough work on..Mez's car to finish, Benny's EK station sedan plus more).
Scotty.

Looks the goods man and a lot smoother without the extra chrome, however lose the skirts, I don't think they suit, but each to there own!
