Great job! You are really filling in all the 1965-66 Cadillac versions

I do similar work (but sadly not to your standard) on other makes for which there is no model currently made.

Oh for a source of replacement nameplates.

Current production models with photo etched or tampo printed emblems are so unfriendly for conversions. Obviously Claude has mastered that issue with his beautiful convertible and Sedan deVille conversions. I would not achieve the same level of perfection as he does, but I would sure try more often if I could replace emblems after bodywork and paint.

Bon travail, monsieur. Puissiez-vous vivre longtemps et faire de nombreuses petites Cadillacs.

Working your magic! Plus you make an Altaya look better than a Matrix.

About a week ago I believed he mentioned trying acetone [as in some nail polish remover] to dissolve the adhesive that attaches the nameplates. Maybe i'll try it on a clearance-shelf Neo. I wonder if this works on disassembling interior pieces as well.
One way to find out!

Acetone hello,Small confusion,in my message about stickers,I said that if the acetone is used,the traditionnal stickers are out and desappear with the paint for sure.
For the others chrom tampographied stickers,to move them,we have 20% of good result if I use a clear tape.
On my models,I do the " V " emblem ,with chrom adhesive ( or gold ) with a cutter and the center " Cadillac crest " is generaly hand paint with colored glass paint.
