'41 Buick Super Chop

That's an absolutely fantastic car you have Sam. The lines and shape of the chop are so perfect.

 

We have a 41 2 door and a 48 4 door Buick that is on my list to do one day......

 

Hey Sam how is your car lowered? I have a 40 I would love to chop

 

The Buick has a Nova front and bags on the 4 corners Timmy

 

great job!

 

Less is more I wouldn't go more than 3 or 3 1/2 and as far as laying the back widow more It looks good on a fifty's car but those years need a little more hump in the back to look right just my opinion

 

Go low!!!

 

Love any 41 chopped correctly, but don't overdo it.

 

41 buicks, chebbies, pontiacs all have a natural slope to them. i personally would no go no more then 3 inches, or just leave it alone and drop it.

 

Got more pics of the Carson topped '41? Thanks.

 

Was the middleman in a deal for 4 '41 Buicks a few years ago and had the opportunity to get one or all (they needed the trim for a restoration that had been botched)...

WISH I had taken them!!!

 

Here is pictures of Jack Walker's '41 Buick.









Good luck with the project..

Happy Trails, Mick

 

The Jack Walker car is incredible - just lost me at the grille a little, but even so - wow!
Is it a new car?

 

I'm a huge fan of a stock '41 Buick grill but Jack is into Kustoms and wanted to come up
with a new fresh idea. The grill looks better in person then in my pictures, my favorite
part with the new grill is how the carried the peak of the hood in between the two grills.

Happy Trails,Mick

 

thanks to rikster for the pics...

 

Here's how it turned out.

Holy cow that looks amazing!!!! How much is that chopped?

 

Wow!! You made my day posting the updated pictures, Please post another 100 pictures,
that is sooo Kool!! Welcome aboard, it is kool to see another Kustom guy on the HAMB.
Enjoy the drive..

Happy Trails, Mick

 

I Carson topped a 37 Chevy coupe for a guy.Man it looked awesome but when I drove it on the highway it was scarey to change lanes not being able to see out the sides and backing up in parking lots wasn't fun either. Yea I know ,mirrors but if you put on good big functional mirrors they look stupid.Those small peep mirrors are worthless. Just my 2 cents.

 

Great job on the 41. Nice like MightySam's , but different as well. Great proportions...

 

That came out absolutely stunning. The copper is a neat touch.

 

the car looks really good. just wish it wasn't air bagged and rode on real white walls. i do like how nickeled plated everything. it gives it a more richer look!

GREAT JOB overall. im just a picky type of guy

 

It's chopped 4" all around. Anything more than that and the geometry got weird around the rear deck. Here's some more pics.

Saw this car a while back at GNRS really caught my attention. I am hoping to join your ranks soon but with a young family it may take a while. Good news is I am starting from a great place!

 

very nice, still have it? painted?

 

@LONG if you mean me, yes. It appears to be mostly original paint!

 

That turned out great! I like that you kept the quarter windows, the car looks too short without them and the way the door posts are slanted just gives it a sleek look.

 

any update?
