anyone know the best way to make a 90's grill for the Cadillac. And what is the best chasis to use for interior and under carriage. thanks

 

[caprice on dz]

as fars as chassis goes, the most suggested ones are the 90's impala/caprice. i am working on one mae from a stretched 70 monte carlo grille. don.t know what to tell you about the grille, never tryed an update yet

here's the real thing's grille. You can use bondo to fill the grille, then carve the new grille in with a knife. Not much, but it's a start for you. Or you can glue a whole lotta pieces of plastic together in the shape of the grille. There's other things that need to be filled and reshaped, but the grille is the hard part. I forget who's done it before on this board, but it's hard or else you'd see a lot more people doing it.

Reference pics are the best start, I think this is an 89?

I've got something I am going to try, for the grill. Anyone got ideas for interior. Someone said something about the 90's impala. Anyone want to second that. Hey fella's thanks for the info

 

[The Mad Modeler]

no problem man. i take it you're converting a lindberg hopper into a model right?

 

[BigPoppa]

I'm guessing you're talking about the Lindberg kit? I think someone used the one from the 66 Rivi, maybe the 70 Impala would fit? Or maybe the Grand National or Monte SS?
