1949 Cadillac Custom


I'm changing things up here a bit and getting away from the BSA project, this car has been my on and off project at work for three years. The customer has taken it home now due to lack of funds to finish the project. This car has undergone extensive reconstruction due to previous lack of talent in prior shops that had little or no experience with sheet metal work. I had to fab about 70% of the sheet metal on this car, that is not counting the inner structures and floor. the intire front group of this car was handmade by me, the nose of the hood, the 39 ford headlight openings, the grille, The front and rear valances, the drip rails, the deck lid, even the front and rear bumpers are all handmade by yours truly. I will show details of this work in upcoming blogs, I am bummed that this car has left the shop but life goes on and so do other projects.
