Got this in September from So.Cal (Palm Springs to be exact) been riding it around like this,couldn't really decide what I was gonna do with it.Car was lifted already but still needed a make over to be plaque worthy.Alot of peeps found out I got this and been offering deals left and right but I'm gonna sit on this one.Been many moons since I've actually torn a car down and built to be my own.I'm extremely lazy and impatient and it is much easier for me to grab someone else's car that has spent hours and doe putting it together then I can change things around to make it mine.
Ay this joint was clean when you first got it but it's come a long way :thumbsup: I just found your build topic so I'm a Lil late lol :cheesy: keep riding homie
I decided to finally get going on it with a lil push from my homeboy and truest USO Gee(gdog3332).My family and I have had many deaths in recent years but more so this past year and especially with the Tsunami that strucc in the Islands of Samoa,not to mention being a single income family and always broke I decided to call it "The Testament".
Driving it around in its current state has helped me work the buggs out or found out what's really wrong w/it that the previous owner failed to tell me about.So far somebody thought it would be a good idea to "RIG" up the hardlines that come from the transmission bacc to the radiator and throw a coupling in their.Yes I been driving it to shows,cruises,hops,kicc baccs,bbq's,whatever not entered in a show just to hang out.
About a month or two ago I took it to a show and while driving there I felt the tranny acting funny...well upon entering the show I saw all the happy faces as I decorated the asphalt w/all my tranny fluid. :biggrin:
As you can Royals C.C. Las Vegas standing guard keeping me company and listening to the music...
As I desperately tried to repair the line so I could drive it home!
No lucc!Thanks to BigBen from the mighty GT LV for running to the store for me and the homie Shaun from the Royals for running home to get his tow trucc,and get gaffled up for towing me home w/me and son in the car on the flatbed.Threatened to take me to jail and my son to CPS,not cool and didn't think it was illegal but whatever,they let us go but Shaun got the worst of it.Thanks for taking the hit homie!
I wanted the base of the car to be like a sandy beach with just a soft kiss of the sun.A bronze pearl.Some compare it to the Navigator Gold but it is a Cadillac color called "Cognac Frost".Can't really catch the pearl to good cuzz of the light but it's only been bacc from the paint for a lil less than a week.Gonna let it cure fro anothe month atleast before wetsanding,striping and then clearing over that.

Thanks to the USO D~CHEESE for the nice switch panel and my homeboy OJ from the Royals for selling me the OG Alpine Sound Processor EQ that Mr.Impala was supposed to get to me. :angry:

This is my fourth 1975 Caprice Convertible with the previous three going untouched either no money to start/finish or decent offers to get rid of.Besides 2dr 90'd Cadi's this is my favorite car (Cuzz it's the only Rag I can fit in!).
