I thought I would finally post something here after just reading and watching what goes on here. I have a caddy which runs and was all together but had rotten floor pans, and rust on the body with holes in the rocker on the drivers side and both rear quarters had holes. So I over last winter stripped it down pretty well all the way and made the patch panels and repaired the holes and put in new floors. I then sprayed it in my garage and made it look respectable at least. I rewired the car using a 20 circuit kit whichI then added all the necessary extra wiring which I needed fore the caddy.The interior was done and now it is driveable and looks decent enough
.
Here it is last summer before paint.
Here is the floor after I welded in the new patches.
Here is the rocker ready to be changed.
Rocker removed and inner rocker in need of replacement.
The car was pretty well all stripped and then after the repairs primed.
It was then sprayed and I was actually happy with the way it turned out for my first time trying to spray a car.
I will add more pictures later as I have had the interior done on it now.
So here are some pictures of the interior which was done by Harold and his guys at Nuimage. They did a beautiful job on it and it makes the car.

that sure looks good in the pictures. lucky for you the chrome looks good too. i cant imagine what it would cost to redo all the chrome on that. nice car congrats very well done.
Agree with Fatchuck, great old cars with a smooth ride to match. Great car to take on a roadtrip, run at 70 MPH all day, and gas mileage was not that bad considering the weight of the vehicle and passengers.
