Eldorado2K, checking on you...?

Glad your not pushing it Ric, not like there isn't going to be months and months of nice weather coming to you

I’m taking my sweet time with my new car.. The way I look at it, I’m only going to get 1 chance to really sink my teeth in it and transform it from where it’s at to the cleanest 2000 Cadillac DHS in the world.
So I’m savoring every bit of it.

Btw it may look fairly good from the outside... But let me tell you there’s Alot to clean within this car. This car is completely night & day as far as outside compared to the inside. I spent nearly an hour the other day just vacuuming the passenger side carpet & seat. An hour! Lol.

Here’s what the drivers side currently looks like. [I obviously haven’t vacuumed this side yet] lol.





And just look at how dirty the engine is. I’m in the middle of cleaning the engine right now...





This is fun... No sarcasm.
Except I can’t seem to find my favorite carpet brush. Grrr.

Good luck with the car Ric. We are looking forward to seeing the transformation pictures. It probably feels good to be out there working on cars again.

Good to see you back Ric!

You got that right!

And yea, I’m gonna try to keep everything under wraps until I’m all done so it’ll be a an atomic bomb of detailing transformation put together in 1 thread. Lol.

I may or may not tease the engine detail later today though, because it’s hard to keep everything to myself. Lol.

Ric, just curious, are you getting a set of OEM rims for it at some point

Nope. It’s interesting because I normally would’ve avoided the DHS like the plague in favor of a DTS... However this particular DHS had the cure to all the typical setbacks that always turned me off about them. The stock wheels being the biggest drawback of all..

You see, the Cadillac Deville DHS came with 16” stock wheels as opposed to the 17” wheels on the DTS. And to add insult to injury not only are the stock DHS wheels too small, but they’re also rather hideous looking. IMO all stock Cadillac DHS Devilles look like grandpa mobiles.

However the 20” wheels & tires on this DHS change everything. I love the look of the car. I like the paint color just as much as I like the wheels & tires.
So to answer your question, no I’m not interested in acquiring a set of stock wheels.

If ever a slight chance they’d have to be the DTS wheels like the ones on my previous car... But at this point it’s not really worth it to me because I like these wheels.

Big car like that handles the 20's easily, tires shouldn't be too expensive nowadays either. Btw, is there anyways you can get your new emblems off of your old car or do you think they crushed it already. I mean you just out them on and in a weird way it would be cool to have a part of the car that saved your life on the new ride, just a thought.

I know thus, that color is going to POP and I speak for everyone when I saw we can't wait to see it

My old car’s been crushed already... I’ve already ordered new emblems.

That had to be the shiniest car the crusher has ever seen!
