The red leather is factory. Pulling the Caddy out for storage today as numerous other projects that are time sensitive need pushing to the front. Lime green & Black leather would be a show quality interior for sure.

"The Thunder" sounds great. Thanks for sharing.

About 1/2 way thru the timing the starter bendix started sticking. Thought I would just lube up this morning but Oh Man, that starter looked like it was as old as a Model A. I replaced it.

Well the Batmobile had to leave the building, to many other projects that need immediate attention. The factory air cleaner didn't fit the new carburetor. Parking outside under a canopy its not a good idea to just leave a rag over the top of the carb so I ordered a cheap air cleaner to keep dirt daubers out of the engine.

Lookin' good. Them tires gonna need the rubber warmed up a little every now and then, which also keeps the dirt daubers away. They can't keep up when you're going 90mph ya know!
