Hello, fellow Cadillac enthusiasts!

My name is Joe and I purchased a low-mileage (~19K) 1961 Sedan Deville in March of this year.  I've been slowly addressing the items that have begun to fail, for sitting for many years.  To day, I've gotten the radiator re-cored (re-using original end tanks), and the gas tank cleaned / sealed.  My latest project is upgrading to a dual-circuit master cylinder.  This has become a much bigger under-taking than I was originally anticipating, but I think I finally have a game plan together.

Regardless, a couple internet searches turned this site up, so I wanted to join and post an introduction.  Thanks for housing this great body of knowledge!

Thanks for the warm welcome, gentleman.  Once I get the car buttoned back up, I'll be sure to post up some pics.

A shop manual came with the car and has already proven to be worth its weight in gold.....well, maybe not THAT much, but it's definitely come in handy.  I'm looking forward to hanging around and soaking up some knowledge on these wonderful cars.
