Hi Kevin I love your and johns videos

[@goldenrustorbust]

Thanks man definitely a keeper

[@richarddeschamps5425]

John, you shoulda kept on the 70's pimp outfit!!! Loved it.. Great job, keep it up.

[@goldenrustorbust]

@@richarddeschamps5425 hahaha thanks man raided grandpa’s closet 🤣

[@richarddeschamps5425]

@goldenrustorbust shit, john. Thats what i was wearing in the early 70's and platform shoe's. But hell, I was only 7!!!!

[@Heavygravy447]

Your the only KZbinr who replaced the bumper filler panels on one of those good job sir that caddie could be your power tour car definitely keep it very unique

[@big2868]

I had a "77 Eldorado" I bought it from my aunt in 1981 for $500. It was Teal Blue with a silver landau top with black leather and Teal color keyed hub caps. It was pushing 85k mi. at the time. The car was powered by or should I say underpowered with a 425. Basically, it couldn't get out of its own way! The body was rust free and the filler panels were in good shape. Thinking about the rear filler panels, they all came with plastic chrome that started at the bottom of the horizontal portion of the bumper up around and over and ended at the gas plate door. The car had a hell of a goodie package including AM/FM/CB radio, factory alarm, auto locking doors when you put it in gear. Mechanically, I replaced both CV/half shafts and the soft close trunk motor. This would be the first of five Cadillacs for me. What an incredible road car!

The “epiphany” of a land yacht? The spirit of Norm Crosby lives on.

Was waiting for a good car video to post. Thanks John! Also, always loved the old Cadillacs.

You're living the boat life now, baby!!! We have a 73 Pontiac Bonneville with a 455. She's a big beautiful girl with 80,000 original miles! Congrats on your new youngling. Take of your beautiful wife! Love you guys!

[@canadiangamer7525]

Awesome find dude, very nice land yacht! Thanks for sharing your adventures with this classic!

[@Carlos-r5n2b]

Love these FWD Cadillacs . My grandfather had a 72 white on white black vinyl top. I can remember 4 adults 3 children riding comfortably id sit up front between grandfather and my uncle two ladies two girls in back. No drive line tunnel like riding on living room couch. 7 people comfortably riding down the highway. That baby rode so smooth.

[@bubbaz4674]

Awesome work! Always funny seeing this dude on junkyard digs.

My 58 year old ass is late, but we have an upload from "RoboMulletCop". Love this kid, I really enjoy his uploads. Longer uploads are nice.

[@maryfuhs8253]

Awesome. So fun to watch , after seeing all the work you did! Good to feel part of your journey.

[@ianmatthews7887]

What an amazing find. Beautiful.

[@SeanStevens24]

THANK YOU for putting new filler panels in. Nothing bothers me more than seeing these old yachts with lake-sized gaps between the body and bumper. As for the passenger side not fitting right in the front, having that corner meet a tree at around 5 MPH would probably solve all of your problems

[@goldenrustorbust]

😂😂😂

[@bryandraughn9830]

They definitely do "adjust"!😅

[@williamyoast216]

This episode was one of your finest. The editing has come a long way. That car is b-e-a-u-tiful. My inner electrician has to make this comment. A switch is on or off but a sensor can give a range of units

Hey thank you for the information 😁

the smile at 21:07 says it all bud, great job, diffnelty be proud of the work ya did

Hell Yeah John, love these 70's land yachts. 👌👍🤘🔥🔥🔥

Good score. Be happy its not the 4-6-8 nightmare. Tint it out on airbags, and you'll be pimpin in style.

What a great car. Love the host hair cut too. Looks so 90's Beavis and Butt-Head. Very retro and cool.

The video was great! Your channel is one that has videos I can click "like" on before I watch them. You have fun, which makes them fun to watch.

[@justindavis2856]

That car is amazing. Love your videos like always man

[@darylmatis4061]

I so remember seeing those on the roads when I was a kid. At 47 years old seeing one that looks that good especially coming from Minnesota brings back a lot of memories. We didn't call those cars, we called them a couch on wheels, so damn comfortable

[@goldenrustorbust]

It is the most comfortable car I own

[@darylmatis4061]

@@goldenrustorbust no problem John :) and help anyone I can !

[@MrKurdkiller]

You need to make more videos, man I like watching your videos

[@alynwilson5694]

I wanted to comment after seeing you install the temp gage. If you ever install an oil gage in that car or any car in the future, do not, I repeat do not use the plastic line that comes with most gouges. Those lines melt and or break in the future and start pouring oil fast and with lock up engine before you have a chance to save it. Instead buy the same size metal line and never worry about it again..

[@goldenrustorbust]

Hey thanks for all the advice 👍😁

[@richardoswalt1009]

Lots to learn my man and you have a good start, no other way to do it, take it from a man who has been turning wrenches for 60 years.

Now you just need to color match and re fit the body fillers and shell be perfect

Goodness, she's stinkin gorgeous! My dad always had wine taste with a beer budget when it came to cars growing up so we always had some old Caddy or Lincoln in the driveway. I learned how to drive on an 85 Fleetwood 4 door, took my driving test on a Toyota Echo... Nailed it 🤘

[@markhubbard5176]

hi mate im from england and this is my favorite cadillac...i would silicone all the gaps in the fender fillers and paint them the same colour as the car...it would look a lot better...all the best from UK

We all struggle with GM body fillers. Especially Cadillac ones. Don’t feel bad. You never know which ones to buy, which ones fit the best etc. A big ol’ crap shoot. I usually try to find ABS plastic ones over the fiberglass ones. Good purchase BTW. I like it. That grille cap is straight sexy

Sweet it's in great shape 👌🙏♥️😎

[@towncoupe]

What a GREAT FIND Those body fills are a pain fore sure Maybe when you get them painted the body man can fit them better. I've had a couple of these over the years and coupe devilles. you have the 425(501) engine in her. It doesn't like to run when its cold-You have to set the Choke-Spring 2 notches to the rich side (towards the firewall) that's what they like You should only need 1 pump cold start I noticed the old guy ( orig owner) has the headlights all out of wack. I adjust mine so it fits the contours of the headlight surrounds. That usually works. She is a great car You will get many miles-years out of her . ENJOY Cheers from Calgary

[@jeffrobodine8579]

I have a 1970 Eldorado and those flat front floors are great. Lots of room and a good place to sleep. If you want those bumper fillers done correctly you need to have a pro body guy put fiberglass ones on for approximately $3000+.
