1968 Eldorado

[weephee]

I have finally decided to buy the 1968 Eldorado that I have asked questons of here at this forum.   Can anyone supply me with the option codes for this year of cadillac.   I've found 1967 code through the search but not 1968.  I appreciate any help and I'll post pictures of the car when I get it home early in the spring.  I have also bought a GM service manual for it on ebay.   Just waiting to get it   Thanks

Is that Specter Blue?  And a slick top too. 

Looks a lot like mine.

I have just purchased what was supposed to be a parts car for the 68 Eldorado I've been talking about.    Someone found this car in a garage of some sort and bought it.   He drove it to a reputable body shop and had the car completely talken apart.  When I say taken apart I mean just that.   Everything that is small enough is in boxes and the rest is in a transport trailer except the engine and frame which is covered outside.  Once the car was taken apart the body panels were dipped in an acid bath.  I have not heard of anyone on this site discuss acid dip vs blasting but the vat is large enough to completely submerge the body and the individual parts.   The car was then washed with something to neutralize the acid and then primed.   This all happened 4 years ago and the owner apparently rain out of money and disappeared.  I paid the body shop $1200 for it and I'm thinking that I might want to put it back together again rather than parting it out.   Is anyone familiar with acid baths    Are there any negatives associated with this kind of rust remover.  Thanks

Unless your sand/media blaster is very careful, he risks warping the sheet metal. Chemical stripping is less prone todistortion of body panels.
