Thread: New guy 68 caddy

Tweet

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am working on my rat caddy project. A lot has been done but there is still a good bit to do.

Done - air ride with Nitrogen
Flat black primer - body is pretty strait

Needs - Interior re assembled, new dash and new door panels I have them and need to install
Stereo - Have the equipment need to install
A/C fix
Front shocks?
Paint?

Any other suggestions?

Great looking old Caddy and a great look with the bags! Paint would have to be a combination of personal choice and a good look with the interior color...., other then that, I'm a redaholic!!!!! Good having you here and anxious to see the finished product, looks like a most excellent start!!!!!! Welcome to CHR, good to see more super kruizers hittin' the streets.....

Awesome ride! Very comfy, too, I'm betting. I'm seeing silver with a black leather interior.

saw the plates did you kidnap the caddy from ca. we are putting out an amber alert LOL nice cruzer cant wait to see more .....ted

great looking caddy. off to a great start. Love Baltimore. used to live there years ago. Wlecome to CHR.

Awesome looking caddy man. I like the "Suede" Looks done to me!

Front Shocks will need to have custom brackets fabbed from the frame to the lower control arm. Many of the mini truckin websites and mags sell brackets that could work or be modified and in fact offer shocks for lowered vehicles (proper valving for lowered vehicles and sorter length)

what are you running in the rear for suspension (is that coil or leaf?)


Cool ride man, more pictures please

Here is a picture of a s-10 set up which has tubular control arms, you can at least see how they mounted the shock. Also you may want to try Lowrider Depot. Here is their ad on Mini Truckin Website:
