57 Eldorado Brougham - Lateral-g Forums

Ok, some shiny stuff!

I received the gauges back from Shannon at Redline gauge works and they turned out amazing.

Changes were, freshen up speedometer assembly and recalibrate for the new 160mph gauge face. (was 120, not quite good enough)

All of the other gauges were replaced with Speedhut programmable gauges that have a warning light output. This is nice because it is all modern electronics and the gauges themselves will drive the original warning lights. (hard to see but they are little red Cadillac emblems in the gauge faces).

Also, shift indicator pattern was changed to match the 4l80 transmission.

Very happy with these!!

Awesome - I can see why you are happy with it.

I love refurbished and enhanced stock gauges, especially with traditional non-round layouts. I've got my hands full with my current and never complete project, but if I ever hit it big a nice Caddy build is definitely on the agenda. My dream is a '67 El Dorado.

That dash is beautiful.

The rear ac is a pretty cool touch. Are you going to do heated seats?

This is just the neatest build! I'm enjoying reading about this project and the creativity used to retain the period looks is terrific!

Still my favorite build to date!

And that's cool Vintage Air makes a rear A/C unit. I have that rear a/c unit in my 62 Caddy Limo and might just swap it out for this unit.

Keep up the good work!

(2) -10 inlets (2) -10 outlets but only a single 5/8" heater hose to and from the trunk. All of that is changing to 4 -12 hoses from to rear and a production intercooler on a custom intake to test the i/c.

Damn, I'm surprised you fit -10 through the bottom. (unless you married the core to the intake).

Your planned changes will make a huge difference!
