Suicide hood is cool but the trunk thing aint my cup of tea. White or beige/tope interior would suit the red as well!

wow that thing's hot... i think maybe a dark candy red and somethign else... but maybe the lighter color of your decision on the top area (above the fender moldings and the darker below the moldings.. just a thought.. keep up the really tight work..

well its very nice , i have idead for your trunk and hood but i' mnot tellin cuz ima do it on my next merc. Also for your side trim i would suggest takin it off your front fenders and shaving it back to have your door length.

what might look cool..is split the truck down the middle and have it open llike a clamshell type thing. Might require alot of work though.

David, which clamshell style are you talking about? Top and bottom open up (like a pickup with a toneau cover), or where one half opends to the right, one half opends to the left.

i looked in the hobby shop about those cadillacz and he said that they are very rare to find, he said try ebay you might be able to find one for cheap on there , or you cand buy the resin body but you dont get a chassis, its just the body and maybe sometimes the interior
