Concept F-caddy

well guys, i'm ready for the possible negative response on this one. I'm buying an 83 cadillac seville from a friend soon, and plan on swapping some thirdgen stuff onto it heheheh. What do you think it would look like with some IROC or FORMULA decals on the doorbottoms? maybe a cowl hood? any ideas for this beast, let me know. Also, anyone know if some thirdgen wheels will bolt up?

Pull up next to the thing in a year or so....then talk some ****. Whats the matter sally, can't hike the ol' skirt up enough to find some *****?
Please, from now on, only constructive comments. It's a vaild idea i think, nothing like the Type-R BS, as the car is actually going to have thirdgen f-body parts incorporated in the build.

Putting a cowl hood and an IROC sticker on it won't make it fast.

If a four-door Camaro is what you're after, start with a 78-87 Chevy Malibu. Lots lighter than a fat-a$$ Coupe DeVille, and there's already Camaro parts that fit it.

As for the Caddy, it's screaming for the Deluxe Super-Pimp treatment.

dont put the decals?? get some type r decals!! LOL. dont do the decals on that it would look really stupid and make u look stupid 2. i would pimp that car, paint it midnight black, and crome it out, with some nice spoke rims, tint, and drop it. (just my thoughts) good luck.

Sorry, got to agree with that one -- atleast when it comes to the decals (Formula or IROC).

Cowl induction hood would look cool. Especially if you could still run the center chrome strip up th middle and keep the hood emblem.

Maybe change from the wire wheel hub caps to a set of 16x8 crosslace wheels.

Lose most of the chrome moldings. Thirdgen F-bodies are very monochromatic.

Maybe run IROC or Z-28 stripes around the bottom

Any vinyl top? If so rip it off!!

Hope this helps

well guys, i'm ready for the possible negative response on this one.


Well, that's what ya got so ya can't really complain.

I honestly think that it's a bad idea, especially with the decal thing.... very Type-R style to me.... but then again I don't know exactly what you have planned, who knows, maybe it'll look....okay....

hey, that all-black looks pretty good. The wheels work, too. Just ditch the IROC stickers.

you definately don't want to see my mower

Sorry, i had braced myself for the negative comments like "i don't like it, bad idea" but typeR stuff, pisses me off, i'm not a r*ceboy, and never will be. And with that photoshop, it shows that the iroc or formula lettering would look out of place.

And...to finish this up, screw the caddy, a friend is selling an 88 trans am thats been sitting for awhile, and a bird is better than a boat any day...just thought of something unique and different, but i forgot that some people on these boards have a mind as open as a nun's legs.

I don't understand why you are going from a thirdgen to an 83 Caddy Seville of all cars. Is that car magical or something, because I don't see why you want to get it.


Iroc Decals only belong on an Iroc. I saw a screaming chicken decal on the hood of a Civic, I don't really appreciate that.
