Been working on this for years. Recently finished the sanding and buffing. My first full car paint job. I learned a lot, but should started with something small like a Jeep.
The wheels were a battle too, because I didn't know Cadillac runs a larger hub diameter that any other GM passenger car. It required machining the front rotors to fit inside the wheel center, and cutting a little more offset into the rears to barely fit in the skirts.
Engine is 513ci at 9.75:1, with a cam, Edelbrock intake, 870cfm Holley, and headers. Around 500hp and 600ft/lb.
Feels great to finally have it looking like something. Plan is to finish the interior over the winter (full color change) and hit the Hot Rod Power Tour next spring.
