My homeboy Gerald did some filming when I visited him last weekend for the season opening 2008.
He edited it into a short clip which is now online. You can see some repairs going on, and the first cruise 2008.

As spring is finally in the air - I once again visited my buddy Gerald in Gmunden to wake up the Pimperado and to do some repairs.
Gerald and I started to work on our Cadillacs on tuesday. I´ve made a long "To Do" list of things that I want to improve this upcoming season.
Yesterday I removed the front driver seat to have some minor imperfections repaired at the upholstery shop. I also removed the gold plated head light bezels to have them re-plated in chrome. Also some other smaller parts of the interior, like the door handles will be re-plated. I´m doing this to change the appearance a little.
We also replaced the fuel pump on Gerald´s 1958 Eldorado. You can read more about it on his website.
Today the sun was shining and so we decided to take the cars out of the garage and do a little test-drive.
The Pimperado started right up. As there was no more front seat installed, temporarily I had to improvise a little - check the image below
The work will continue...
