Re: Caddy Wacked
The Caddy is missing the boot badge that sits above the V. It is 3.75" x 3" all the models after are around 2".
A search on the net and email to wreckers and suppliers came up with not available or 300+ for a repo, and is in 2 pieces (backing frame and insert).
Should look something like this 1953 one.
Finally found this one that needs a little love from the Emblem King for $36 + $16 postage to OZ, i have started to clean it up and repaint. Which is good enough for this driver. Also got a workshop manual on its way.

I wanted both actually, im working on that one.

You are a sick puppy Scott, but I love it. Just keep buying them mate. You can never have too many cars I reckon. Very cool ride too by the way.

Re: Caddy Wacked
Cage I think we counted the number of cars/projects Scott has and we came to the conclusion that you can in fact have too many cars :rotfl:cage wrote:You are a sick puppy Scott, but I love it. Just keep buying them mate. You can never have too many cars I reckon. Very cool ride too by the way.
I still love those cards Scott. Let the WA lads know when the beast lands because I know that I definitely would like to check it out in the flesh and I think the others are the same!
