Roadkill's 1958 Cadillac - PROJECT THREAD
Roadkill:
Guys,
As mentioned before I'm starting a new thread for the Cadillac.
I plan to keep the old one running for the purposes of spit-balling and general project chit-chat but this thread will be reserved for serious updates, information and pictures.
ALL pictures will be full-size . . I don't intend on thumb-nailing anything so If it's taking time loading at some point, don't complain as it'll all be worth it !
Comments and posts by others are fine, here but I'll delete anything that's too far off topic.
The purpose of this thread is to produce a comprehensive guide to building a car.
I'm going to provide references, suppliers, specifications and contacts for anyone considering going down this route.
Lessons are best learned from other people's mistakes so if I can make the mistakes and save someone else grief then that's fine by me.
I won't be getting my hands dirty until later this year but the project HAS started, elsewhere on the planet.
2014 will see mainly purchasing and planning from me . . .
The first real post will be the new engine specifications - shortly.
For now let's remind ourselves of how she began life :
