Welcome to the forum! Those big fin Cadillacs are cool! Hope you'll stick around and join in the discussions from time to time.
Our street rod club did a run up to Apple Valley last fall. Nice place! Hope to see you at a cruise or show in the Sac area.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

The Caddy isn't finished yet but here it is so far...
Engine: Radar Blue 454 Big Block Chevy (30 over)
Camshaft: Extreme Energy Competition Cam - Intake Lift .515/Exhaust Lift .520
Transmission: Turbo 400 with TransGo Shift Kit
Exhaust: Triple Chamber Flowmasters
License Plate: Bad 59
Is there hope?
If you don't have a paint booth, build one!
The 454 does fit! That is my old 59 Caddy and 66 Chevy Milk Truck Hot Rod in the background....
Who needs doors to drive to the exhaust shop!
Just before the Caddy moved from Oregon to California, which is why there was a rush to get the Caddy on the road...
Just for fun, (sorry it was dark) Here's Christopher Titus and I in Irvine after he checked out the Caddy...

Welcome...........
Welcome Lynn.......... It's great to have another gal here and one that's not afraid to get down in the trenches and get dirty, and actually learn something and be able to show people what your made of. We have some really great gal's like that here. And by the way..... nice 59 sled.

Welcome to the boards! I love the cars, I have always like the older Cadillacs like the 50's and 60's. Awsome that you got a 454 in one of them too. Stick around, we need more girls here since there are only about 2 or 3 that post regularly.www.streamlineautocare.com
If you wan't something done right, then you have to do it yourself!

I took Gene Winfield's metal fabrication class and I have a ton of ideas for the Caddy but had to make it a driver first. Would love to go blown, tub it and chop the top along with making it a removable hard top. I also talked to Gene about some technique on how to extend the fins up a few more inches...Originally posted by P Tucker

Hi from Australia! Love the car.
There's a pink 59 gettin around here that we see at some of the cruises. The caddy's are a really cool lookin car. But then again, any girl drivin their own car is cool!

Gene Winfield
Wow, talk about learning from a master! Where and when did you have such a great opportunity? Do you know if he is still teaching the class? Tell us more about it was it done like a community college class?
Thanks
Pat

Thanks! I bookmarked the link to his site and will watch to see if another class is scheduled. I love the car on the top of his page. At first I thought it was a Caddy. but after closer inspection it may be an Olds. At any rate is it definitely bitchin'! Can't wait to see what you do with yours
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
