Car was restored but the painter did a horrible job at finishing the paint for this client. So I was contacted to come and make the car at least presentable. This customer got way beyond presentable and almost perfection.

Fantastic work! That car really pops now.
My parents have a '64 that is absolutely stunning. Love these cars. I have a '74, not as pretty, but I love these old caddy's.

Double digit views and hardly any comments. I'll bite and comment...

Very nice save there. Stunning work.

The '67 Eldo is one fantastically beautiful car. Always was one of my favorite Caddys.

You've turned the car into a best of show machine. Gorgeous!

Man I love those cars. I used to have a '72 rag top that was just a blast to drive. It was like riding around in your living room. You did a great job of bringing that paint back to life. Really nice job!!!

Great job on that caddy! Impressive! Also, having a garage that can fit that car in it is impressive! Those cars are so cool. Big long low. Totally chillin driving down the road in that. My mom had a 73 and it was like riding on a cloud. Love it

I can die a complete man, Mike Phillips commented on my post!

Thanks for the good words folks, been awhile since I shared something but this was probably my biggest turn around I did this summer. I was so surprised how easy this car was to work on and all the flat panels for the rupes..
