Every Cadillac lover should have a drop top 59.

You are nuts!!!

ok I'll ask, what's the plan for this one???

I'm not entirely sure.

I'm in the process of pulling the original engine as it was seized up. If it seems like I can get it running and driving with the stock drivetrain I will probably do that for now.

If the engine is completely toast I might do a budget LS swap.

Many thanks to Frank at The Driveshaft Shop!!!!!!

I received this bit of awesomeness today. 2 piece carbon fiber shaft, dual CV. Beautiful piece!

Can't wait to get the car up on the rack so I can test fit it and get some more pictures.

Ive been following this build for the last year or so over on Pro-Touring.com, I'm Bad66Chevelle454.

I can't say it enough, this is still my all time favorite build. Just amazing the amount of thought and attention to detail you've put into this car. Not one spot on that car have you said "yah, that will do." Everything has been thought out and improved upon.

And then you buy the 59 Eldorado. You're insane! But that car will be worth 100K when its fixed up.

Jim that's just awesome!! Oh and your nuts!!!

if I didn't know better I would think you we're going to put a LS twin turbo motor in this car?

Oh wait your ARE putting a LS twin turbo motor in it

Nice very nice!!

Tim- Thanks, very nice of you to say that. I just feel like back when this car was made, no expense was spared. They just made the best car they could and put it out there. I feel like doing any less now would be doing the car a disservice.

As for the 59 (series 62 btw), it wasn't at all planned. Just a deal I couldn't pass up. Actually pretty stressed right now because I have waaaay to much stuff.

Rick, yes, I am feeling a bit crazy right now!!! :-)

That GMR will certainly do the trick! Nice solution!

I love it btw when someone says "that car will be worth a fortune when it's done"...... Yeah -- maybe --- but it cost TWO fortunes to build.....
