Pick up a new car, could use some suggestions

[BADwayz]

I picked up this 85 Coupe DeVille for $400, V8 runs awesome, lowered, bandizi headliner, and came with a free set of good condish 17" wire wheels (no tires), four 10" subs, and a Boss 400w amp. It's a Caddy built after 1964, so it's a piece of shit, but I will drive it around for a couple months then sell it. I want to have fun with the bastid. Could use come cool ideas for modding it, budget is $100-$200 tops.

Ain't no lackin' when your Cadillac'n

Good idea, will do
tuck the bumpers
Not so sure that can be done on these
26"s

way over budget, but I like your thought process.



I also have some red, midnight blue, and peach paint taking up space in my garage, just need a cool but easy DYI kind of theme.

I will do some mock ups, this is a great idea!

Dont care really. I can sell all the free shit I got with it for more than I payed for the car, and so even if I sell the car at $40 I made a profit
tires for the wire's.
Thinking about saving the wires for another future car, already have a few stacks of wheels Im saving for when the right application comes along, whats another set. They are in really good condition, so why give em away when I sell the car.
Do a real in-your-face paintjob.
Dont mind doing that, throw out some ideas. So far the flag idea is pretty hard to beat.
... and then a bunch of fun DIY shit
Shoot some fun DYI ideas at me, thats basically what Im asking help with...you guys have some great thoughts that I would never have come up with.

Home made white walls will work for me, Im thinking 4 inch :)

Only if I find some long horns for the hood. Do you have a pair of long horns sitting around and want to get rid of?

spray paint the whole thing matte black, tint the windows

I have a compressor and a few spray guns, so no need for the poof can jobs. I like the idea, but I already did a matte black truck, so Im over it now.

Here's a pic of the truck, used to be red.

If it were a 4 door, I'd actually say paint it like a VW harlequin, just in flat. But it's missing two doors for that.

Hm... maybe black with lime green accents? Or the opposite, lime green with black accents? Or bright orange with black accents?

[Chris@MemoryFab]

wow.

that headliner:rofl

[BADwayz]

wow.

that headliner:rofl

That was a pleasant suprise I found when I went to pick the car up, it's so cheesy I actually like it.

Full paint would be great, but I have three other real projects so I decided to keep this one to a somewhat minimal.

Heres my ideas. Hand painted trunk hood and C-pillar pinstriping in red and black, painted on fatty white-walls, redo the headliner better (same fabric), throw in some beats, fill it full of bitches and roll til the wheels fall off.

I don't know if I want to keep it all cocaine white, or do the "after a night of cocaine, bloody nose style" roof with metal flaked red.

This kid has it right, except the gold trim and sound system part.

[B Rod]

Actually, it could be funny as hell if you made it dragger style. Meaty tires in the rear with some rake and loud as exhaust. :rofl

[OSSHWA]

Hide-a-way section for crack/cocaine in the trunk, then become a legit dealer :rofl

Loud exhaust is there, meaty tires would be better if this wasnt FWD :o

Springs are cut, but Ill look into cutting more.
White walls are a definate.
Through some beats in it today.
Gold AND chrome accents are in the works.
Candy green would be sick, ill price some paint out.

Coke dealers drive German, I'll look into finding weed hide-a-way spots though.

Only reason I said that was because it reminds me of that random Caddy that guy in Gone in 60 seconds steals. If I recall correctly, it was a drug dealer's car and it had crack in the trunk. Remember the scene? The cop came and they had him rev the engine to blow it away.

You really need to make a thread to ask what to do when you just got a Cadillac?
