I was thinkin, that I aught to throw this one in there before Joe shows one completed already. Just took the lid off, so bear with me whilst I figure this one out and come up with a plan. The Eldorad was one of Chip Foose's earliest design projects and was completed before he completed his own shop. It is based on a 1948 Cadillac Eldorado, but it was extensively modified beyond that. The frame was handmade, incorporating C4 Corvette suspension parts. The engine is a 502 cubic inch Big Block Chevy. When Chip originally finished the Eldorad, it wasn't exactly how he had drawn it. When the present Owner discovered this, he commissioned Chip to do a " make over ". Chip did an all new design drawing that incorporated a new roof design and restored the Eldorad to the color Chip had originally intended for it./font]

If you want to build yours also, don't let this one slow you down. Going to try and use acrylics, so I can maybe get this painted this winter.
