    At first I thought it was a flower car, but it's all custom. Nice work!

      With the way both the Cadillac and the Elcamino have gone up in value since this was started, I can’t imagine another one will ever get built!

    This is giving me the old "Now to the headlights, it was another sight, had two on the left and one on the right" kinda vibes and i dig it man.

      Thanks! It's down getting some sheetmetal work done, then should be heading back up here to assemble a bit more of the drivetrain. Really looking forward to seeing it with bumpers and trim on it!

    Have you ever seen the Cadillac Mirage built by customizer Gene Winfield out in California back in the mid seventies and sold by Cadillac . Winfield is still working on customs at 90 years old . He'd be the one to ask about the glass situation .

    There was a company called caribou coach builders in california but i don't remember when they started or if they are still in buisness, they converted cads to el cads.

    • @twistedimages405
      @twistedimages405  Рік тому +1

      That’s awesome- I’ll have to look them up. I don’t know who started this conversion but they sure had a lot of time into it.

  • @fieldcars3301
    @fieldcars3301 Рік тому

    Interesting
    Not to criticize the original concept, but with all that work to the body he may consider lowering the roof height to the coupe(hardtop) it looks a bit tall above the beltline
    See if you pick it up roll the tape from 26 min
    Otherwise this could work and I am surprised lol

    • @twistedimages405
      @twistedimages405  Рік тому

      Seeing the stock coupe next to it definitely highlights the height of the Elcamino roof. I agree it would probably look a bit sleeker if the roof was brought down, but of course that would necessitate custom rear glass… this version will need custom door glass but all of that is flat which shouldn’t be difficult or expensive.
      I appreciate your comment- thoughtful and constructive. We’ll see what the owner ends up doing with it- it’ll turn heads regardless!

      @@twistedimages405 there are two tricks to the curved glass dilemma when chopping the top on a custom car . First , you create a trough for t sock height glass to fit into and hide the excess or second , they used to mask off the glass with duct tape and cardboard then sandblast off the excess glass . It's food for thought if nothing else . But yes the top needs to come down to the wing window , which will make the fins look even taller .

    They're not gonna chop the roof down to the height of a hdtp.? Would be so easy to do & look 100 times better.
    Especially when lowered.

    • @twistedimages405
      @twistedimages405  Рік тому

      I haven't talked to the owner or the shop that's doing the metal work, but I'll ask them what the plan is- agree the greenhouse looks tall right now, although the shape of the back window will help lengthen it a little bit and could help the looks as-is.

    I think it is low enough. They can reach that one inch gap with the right tire.

      @twistedimages405  Рік тому

      My thoughts exactly! A 20 with a small tire or even a stock 15 with a smaller sidewall will get you there

    Cadillac always made these but they were known as Flower Cars or funerals. Nothing spectacular.

    • @twistedimages405
      @twistedimages405  Рік тому

      The coach built flower cars (never built by Cadillac themselves btw) were usually on commercial chassis using four door cars as a base- more focus on utility and less on the profile/look of the finished product. This was made by an enthusiast sometime in the 80s or 90s using Elcamino roof and bed components- completely different look and goal versus an actual flower car.
