I covered the seats with mexican blankets i found online and purchased.. before and after pics of the back seats below...

que the stereotypical Hispanic jokes hehehe

Re: Project DeVille
 

That is such a sick Caddy! I really like it! Keep the pics coming! I will be following for sure!

Re: Project DeVille
 

Did you recover the fronts?

Re: Project DeVille
 

LOL! I know right? And I'm not even hispanic at all! Not my ideal interior, but it was quick and cheap!

Will do, and thank you! :)

Yes I did.. I hog ringed the bottom of the seat.. but the upper part I just have tucked and draped.. with them folding forward and the arm rest being shorter than the seat backs it woulda been a pain..

Looking good Christina, keep up the good work!

Re: Project DeVille
 

Thanks! :)

Re: Project DeVille
 

Oh and a buddy of mine did a rendering for me since I figured out paint..
No the paint won't be flat like that.. I don't think he knows how to make it shiny in photoshop.. but it will be cleared.. and don't mind the white spaces between spokes... he's new to photoshop.. but you get the general idea.. :)

I'm still going back and forth on whether or not I want to shave the side trim that goes all the way down the car.. the rendering is without it!

Re: Project DeVille
 

Nice work on the interior. Mucho bettero :D

Re: Project DeVille
 

shaved is better lol. its gonna look sweet when done, keep up the good work

Re: Project DeVille
 

Coooool....!

If I had enough room in my garage there would be one of those in there.....D

Re: Project DeVille
 

That is a bad ass car.Have you ever thought about just leaving the origanal paint on it?

Re: Project DeVille
 

hey go with that blue.. give it an 8in lift and some big old tires.. we can cruise together..

Re: Project DeVille
 

LOL yes... MUCHO better-o.. lol.. thanks!

This is true, shaved is better. But are we still talkin about cars? lol Thanks

Thank ya!.. It barely fit in my garage when I had it in there to bag it.. lol

Thank you. I haven't really thought too much about the original paint. It definitely needs to be re-done. It's got that patina look to it, but there is some rust on the passenger side read quarter by the skirt that I'm going to have to cut out and replace and when I fixed the rust under the back window I threw some tan primer over it to keep it from rusting up again.. so it may look like flawless paint in some of those pics, but it's far from it.. she needs a facelift! :)

I am! :) and lol no big tires.. rubber bands!

Re: Project DeVille
 

Lookin' good!

Those mexican blankets will do the job for now. You did a great job putting it together.

Also, my opinion, keep the side trim. The caddy has A LOT of space on those sides, and I think the trim just helps break it up, since there aren't really any other drastic defining body lines.

That aside, I think the blue on that will make it pop. Are you going to add some pinstriping?

Anyways, great just Christina! That caddy is looking badass!

Re: Project DeVille
 

nothing wrong with Mexican sarapes! think about it. get them dirty, throw them in the washer! fresh and clean. do that with upholstered seats...... I'm running blankets on both front and rear seats in my Caddy. I've even seen seats actually upholstered with them, and they look kick ass.

I'm digging your Caddy. do it your way and roll it......

Re: Project DeVille
 

Is this yours?

Re: Project DeVille
 

Thank you.. most likely going to add some stripes.. I love pinstriping, I don't want anything to busy, something clean and simple, I'm a less is more kinda girl. lol :) Thanks again.

Hell no there isn't anything wrong with em! Haha super easy to maintain :) Yeah I've seen seats upholstered with em too.. and thank you ;)

LOL.. where did you find that picture at? And yeah, that is my Caddy and that is my brother's 68 out in front of the old shop.. :)

Re: Project DeVille
 

Your Bro's Caddy is on CL.

Re: Project DeVille
 

Ahhh yeah I knew that.. guess I shoulda put 2 and 2 together.. lol Just didn't know he used that picture. :)

Re: Project DeVille
 

A found it while looking for a compressor. Dang keywords;)

Re: Project DeVille
 

Any progress on this beast?

Re: Project DeVille
 

No progress on the car itself.. I know it's off topic, but it has to do with my Caddy.. got a portrait tattooed... :) And another tattoo... thought i'd share. I got a few more recently too.. doing an automotive sleeve.. :)
