Thread: 500 Caddy/G Body Swap

AHHH the next project. I don't really know right now.

I've done 3 major and one minor project one back to back over the last 6 years (57 Plymouth, 76 Dodge, 84 El Camino and this 83). Frankly I’m a bit burned out at this point.

Since I quit my job a bit over a month ago I’ve been sorting thru some of the parts collection and seeing what I really don’t have a use for.....I’m looking at doing the swap meet/E Bay/Craigslist thing for a while. I’m also looking at thinning the herd a bit and maybe getting rid of a few vehicles.

I’ve got a guy interested in the 64 Ford, it might come in next so I can finish up the mechanical and then let it go and let him worry about the paint and upholstery.

I’m debating on whether I’m better off doing a cosmetic restoration on the 68 El Camino or trying to sell it as is and the same with the 81 firebird.

The one I really want to start on is the 37 Dodge and I thinking about getting that back in the shop to at least get the firewall and floor done. Yes Bob I know I know.

Of course all my plans may be moot ........my lovely wife mentioned last night she would really like to have a convertible or Cobra II again (I just can’t seem to convince her she would look really good in an 81 Trans AM clone, but I'm still working on that)
