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 .
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
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?
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
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. Sent from my QMV7A using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
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! Dave
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.
