Engine

All new inside and out 429 ci Big Block Cadillac(about 360 hp). My buddy and I just built the new motor and while it was out, I decided to go shave crazy. I shaved the firewall and all of the holes and brackets that I could off the fenders and core support. I then had my buddy Josh (from: www.Kre8Airbrushing.com) come in and airbrush killer skulls on the firewall before I cleared everything. Then I built the new coffin air cleaner.

Exterior

Big black cadillac with a nice close shave. (handles, moldings, drip rails, etc.)
This car was totaly destroyed when i bought it (smashed on both sides, front, back and even the roof). Basicly all that was left was the trashed rusted out body. I've spent many years putting it back together. My buddy and i did all the body & paint together in his garage (which came out killer), but everything else has been done by me. When i built the suspension I basicly, cut it all off with a sawsall and tossed it all away. I then built all the control arms from scratch, added 4 wheel disc brakes and a 8" narrower rear end so it would tuck 10" wide wheels all around. The car was just begging to sit flat on the ground. So thats what i did. I sewed the phantom top myself at home on my little matchine (it sucked, it was alot of work, but it came out great), it's 15 yards of material, and alot of time. Same with the headliner and curtains.I pretty much have to make everything myself because, 1) parts are near impossible to find, and 2) I have a very small budget to work with. I love this car and I will always be improving on it. I'm still working on the interior. I love it for people to tell me what they think. (good or bad).
