73 Eldorado

[bigguy]

This Eldorado Cadillac is 31 years old and was in very bad condition...

Made great progress, however, still needs alot of restoration.. This car only has 79000 original miles. The last pic is a before pic.

Bibbuy- Thanks for posting this! Oh man, that sure brings back memories. What color is that? I wanna say it's something like "firethorn red" but my memory's hazy after all the years...

I really don't know what the color is called. I had to get some retouch paint but I did not look at the name on the can. I only supplied the color number from the plate on the underside of the car and it was #99.

Oh man how nice! There's an Eldo like that at a diner I frequent, maybe a '76 in a color like that, sure doesn't look like that though!



Nice job! :xyxthumbs

Bigguy- OK, thanks. I might run that "99" code past my painter. You sure did a good job on that thing...

Howd you clean the back wheels? Im detailing my uncles 54 ford and the back wheels are covered like that.

LOVE THAT CAR!! If I could own any of the Caddys made during my childhood, that would be the one! Nice job!

Robb sorry it took so long for me to get back with you. I cleaned the back wheels by taking off the fender skirts. There is a release on the back side that will release the skirts.
