Projects My new kustom

hi guys here is my new kustom. 41 ford coupe deluxe .19000 original miles,flathead V8, new stromberg97 ,new rad and distributor,lowered 6 inches in the rear and 4 in the front. Full fender skirts,NOS Appleton spotlights series 451,41 super deluxe front bumper,soon to be added are my original 40s flipper caps, original socal custom chrome dash trim. ford white walls, no rust. This ride will be in the tradition of the early to late 40s tail draggers. It's my big boat kustom .

 

Pretty sharp.

 

Love it!

 

Wicked hot. Love it.

 

Thanks guys. My wife was also instrumental in getting the Appleton and Fenton headers as well as the original 41 plates . She knows her stuff. She is a full supporter of the kustom addiction

 

Sweet! It will look good with the flippers. How is it lowered? Sounds like you have a great wife!

 

Looks good. You scored well--on wife and car.

 

nice!

 

Nice car.

Awesome.

 

Nice! I've always loved the '41's. One of the nicest factory grilles Ford ever did. Is there a chop in it's future?

 

Freakin A man!! Love it and your plans for it.
I too would like to know how you lowered the rear.

 

Beautiful Ford! I wouldn't change a thing

 

Been watching the progress on IG, it came out perfect.

 

THAT IS FREAKIN AWESOME. WAY BEYOND THE LIVING END.

 

Thanks.. the 41 fords are so beautiful and open to either minimal kustomizng or a lot and still retain its amazing lines. I want to chop it but I love the lines it has. The decision is so difficult

 

Thanks so much

 

Thanks .. straight from the factory the lines are pure kustom

 

I dont know if i would chop it either. I think its perfect like it is

 

Cool

 

Very nice!

 

Great job on the new look and please don't chop it! turned out really nice the way it is...there are so many chopped 41's...I love em both...chopped and unchopped...but this one is so nice.

Absolutely awesome. Congrats on a great mild custom.

I'd either leave the roof alone or give it a Matranga hardtop chop. No middle ground!

 

Thanks so much.. it's hard to know what to do . The matranga chop is perfect for this style ride and is one of the best looking if not the best chop on a kustom

 

Thank you ! I know what you mean the factory lines are pure beauty. The flow is so nice . The Art Deco nature of these rides is perfection in my book

 

Chopping the short door '41 is a lot like deciding whether or not to chop a '40.. That roof is so nice right from Henry!
Righteous ride just as it is!

if chop is right, keeping the fluid flowing lines of the body it can look very Cool - could not quickly find example pic except from a Discovery Channel reality show called Misfit Garage(season 1 episode 19 - Crushed GTO and Chopped '41 Ford)

 

Exactly ! The lines are damn near perfect. If a chop were to take place it would have to be like the Jesse Lopez ford. The chop is beautiful on that 41.

 

Very nice.
Did you keep the fifty?

 

Awesome car as shoebox1950 said I wouldn't change a thing
