Some people know me as Greybeard, a personna I adopted long ago while playing online games such as Ultima Online, Anarchy Online, Planetside, etc. Others know me as Cadillac Bob due to my passion for lowriders (and my cadillacs, of course). Some just call me Bob, but in any event this page is dedicated to some of the dumb shit I spend my money on, cars

Well I sold the 91 Fleetwood and the 81 Cutlass last month and started work on 3 new projects. My hopper frame is still scheduled to be done soon in Vegas, and now I will be dropping it onto a 83 Coupe Deville. I also have a (dont ask me why) 83 Fleetwood Hearse I am going to make a radical dancer out of. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time I guess... And last but not least, I just bought a cherry 83 Fleetwood Coupe that I am in the middle of dropping a Corvette driveline into...

Alas, just because I can. Besides, it will be fun nosing up next to Mustangs, Camaros and various rice rockets to show em what a 400 hp Cadillac can do... Hopefully I can get started on the hopper soon, the weather is gonna be nice soon (I hope) here in Michigan so its about time to start clowning on people again.

Hooray for winter in Michigan. Not much lowrider related has been going on, but not its time to start getting ready for spring. Dirty (@Dirty Kustoms in Pontiac, MI) extended the upper a-arms on the wife's cutty, did some minor frame reinforcement and plated the lower trailing arms. Just picked up a new 87 euro clip for it, so soon its off to the paint shop to get it installed and have some fresh color sprayed on it.

Back around January first I commissioned NSane Motorsports in Las Vegas to build a new monster frame for the Caddy. It should be pretty radical, definately will knock peoples socks off here in the midwest and might even get some attention from the boys in Califas. Hopefully it will be done and loaded on a truck soon!

Dont think I'm gonna bend this bitch anytime soon.. I hope :)

Finally had the frame pulled and quarters straightened on the caddy, the shop did a great job on it and the car looks very nice again. Here is a shot of it right after I picked it up from the paint shop. Big improvement.... no more wrinkles!

Am probably still going to put a fully wrapped frame under it this winter, but for the time being its just going to stay in the garage until I get some more time for it. Looked at a 85 Coupe Deville today and halfway considered buying it since I do prefer the looks of a coupe over the 4 door fleetwood, but alas the 4 doors come in handy for stowing the lawn chairs, cooler and other goodies that get carried to the various car shows we hit in the summer. Ah well, I got all winter to figure out what the hell I am gonna do with it :)

Got up close and personal with the caddy frame, and found what caused the bucklling on the quarters. The one and damn near only place we didnt completely reinforce, was immediately in front of the wheel hump and that indeed is what bent. On monday I am sending it off to the frame shop to get realigned, and then we will finish plating it. Once we get the steel work done we will repaint the quarters and get it looking factory clean again. If I dont off the car this winter I plan on getting a new candy/patterned job sprayed on it, but in the meantime I just hate looking at it with wrinkles. Even if it just sits under a car cover all winter, at least it will look good doing it.

A couple friends stopped by over the weekend, and we got some work done on the cutlass. Replaced the old Delta dumps with some new Oil Systems, and installed 4 new accumulators. Went cruising with the wife this weekend, best part was the look on peoples faces.. everytime they asked "Hey man, this this your car?" and I motion to my wife and say "Nope, its hers" they generally shit their pants. They cant believe a chick has a cooler car than they do.
