    well after about 7 months looking and 3 months of trying to get this one. i finally got it and pulled it to my shop. this 41 buick fast back should be getting a simple clean tribute to the scene..i planned on a nailhead or good old 283/ 700r4 combo and laying it out....i wanna cruise 2" off thr ground at 90 mph..... my first intentions were to take 2" out of the roof but its still undecided ill try and keep pics posted of the build..

    Love those cars. I like the roofs stock, but an inch out of the front and two out of the back would probably work.

    That is one sweet roofline! I dig the stock slanted b-pillars, too. No chop needed IMO
