Thread: 1979 Cadillac Opera Coupe Restoration

Theses cars are not the most attractive on the road today. "Crusin The Coast" Cruisin' The Coast | America's Largest Block Party is a real Big Deal here. A gangster ride like this you just don't see. Rust surrounds the bottom of the vinyl top, my plan is to remove the vinyl top and trim pins and after repairing the rust refinish the top only in Black Chrome. This car has only 16,000 original miles on it. I've started the engine retrofit from Fuel Injection to Carb. Here are a couple of pictures. Being a 1979 it had a Nylon Timing Gear, not chancing a "Jump Time" situation with that old gear the Timing Set was replaced right away.
