What a beautiful car my dad had a 61 cad and i had a 59 we droved the wheels off them both keep them for about 8 years we fell in love with them had so much fund
I love this car: Probably I would have gone for a white or black roof, but that is really something you might not like. Whatever you choose is ok in my book. The 1960 is probably one of my absolute favourite years for Cadillac of all time.
The 1960 will be painted with a HOK Silvermax base with heavy metallic roof and scallops. The scallops outline will be a slightly darker metallic to slightly accent the scallops.
Very nice job. You're fixing it to enjoy it, not show it. Perfect approach. Black roof too dark. That off white (Niagara White?) GM used would have been nice for the roof but I like the red too. Glad too see you used SPI clear coat. I did my Model A with that three years ago. It's held up great ( I drive my cars) Nice guys to deal with and easy product to work with. I did a star on my house to see how it holds up. It's been outside for three years and it looks like the day I sprayed it. Drill the hinges and use grade 5 bolts. The pins are a pain in ass. Get Delrin sheet and a hole punch set and make the bushings /spacers yourself. McMaster Carr has all kinds of bushings/ spacers too. Looking forward to the interior.
Not to crazy about the patina thing, but this is done right I think you got it right 👍 I will have to do some compromise with my Coup DeVille, and I could live with that level of patina just fine.
The result looks very good: Something I might do on a car like this. I had a Pontiac that I even wet sanded the few extremely shiny places I had to repaint completely, mainly the hood and trunk and sprayed a thin layer of a semigloss clear. Now you have a car to be used and not a vehicle you have to be scared of using in lousy weather. But descent enough. Sometimes the term "patina" is used by lazy people who are not willing to invest any labour or money on a vehicle that would deserve some care.
Sorry to say that at 1:40 this is not only primer, but rust and underneath the rust keeps crawling and spreading. It should be sanded until a rustfree part shows up. Then you can prime it and maybe put some filler and probably even a very thin layer of bondo. If you ignore it now, the rust will spread under and whatever you do will last ten times less. Speaking out of 40 years of experience.
It was sanded down about 7-9 inches around removing all surface rust, applied multiple coats if high quality Epoxy primer, followed by black sealer under the pearl red basecoat . The rust in that area is not coming back.
@@Jdakota That is exactly the perfect way. Epoxy is a good stuff, you it can be put on top of every kind of material and can be under everything as well. The stupid green "Save the Planet" idiots made sure that epoxy got banned in Switzerland and probably elsewhere in Europe. I still have a small stock of epoxy, the right hardener and thinner. I have to cling to this treasure as long as I can.
A skilled painter makes it look so easy.
I love how this turned out. The patina gives it character!!

It's a beautiful car
is this a metallic red ? Nevermind, excellent color for the roof. Clear came out better than I would have guessed.
.
It's a custom color that was matched looks like a candy apple
Thank you for sharing your channel
The original antenna would have been vacuum, don’t see many still working , would be a cool project to get it working again

Interior will.be black so white wouldn't work. When had the black base painted on roof I thought it was to dark

I like the '60 much better than the '59 at any rate. I prefer the late '49-'56. I do like a '41 too.

The original owner had big bucks to buy this new

It was sealed that's why it was red again under clear coat...
