Default Check out my new ride. Not an ls1 but cool as hell.

1963 Cadillac Sedan Deville. 81k original, all numbers matching. Original owner had it for almost 40 years. Needs some work but is a super cool driver. Now i just need some help with some interior stuff. The front bench leather needs to be replaced. Any ideas for someone around Chicago for that kinda stuff would be great. Also some chrome could use a re-dip. Any local places for that?

Alex, I have an interior guy for you. His name is Issac, and his number is 847-674-3357. He's located in Skokie, not too far from where Mark's parents live. He used to work out of his garage.

He did the seats in one of Jason's Mustangs before. Did great work, and his prices are good.

Thanks for the kind words. Im definetly going to check out the interior guys mentioned in the thread. The car has a 390 ci motor and a 4 speed hydromatic trans. Also upon request i will show homes in the Caddy too!! I think the TA is more fun but hey the customer is always right.

-I used them, bad neighborhood if you get skeered easy, have to go early and then bang on the door until someone comes out.

There is supposed to be some place in Addison that is good.

I was also checking out Calco, I think they are on the North side somewhere.
