Now I've done it! New 1941 buick project.

Just saw this one for the first time, beautiful workmanship.

 

this car is really coming out nice, at first i was a little nervous about it being chopped but, it came out great!

 

Car is looking really great! i like this photo a lot!!!

 

Really nice job so far. Love the new pan on the back.

 

I agree. I was a little nervous about the chop, but it looks like you have the skill set to knock it out of the park. Nice work!

 

Test piece made before final panel. The stock panel is very square.

 

Another great build thread that i've missed.Really nice work!

 

thunderroad - That's a cool Buick they make great customs. My neighbors were always pissed when, I started a new project. The neighbor lady always complained about my grinding, I told her one day that I didn't complained about her son's punk rock band and she never said another word.

wow- very cool

 

Still looking awesome!

 

What front clip did you use ???

 

Hi !
My hat off , very inspiring to see your -41 Buick project , what lovely lines -41 Buick have only improved by your modifications . I plan a similar project on my -41 Cad coupe making it a carson custom , -41 Cad has the same basic body but Buick have a smoother more rounded fenders and front end . I think the -41 Buick grill is factory custom design , no chance of keeping the old potmetal ?
Please see Sams -41 Buick super chopped in Belgium that looks similar to your build :

The Buick's are a wonderful project car and there aren't many '41's around. Good luck with yours. When done if you take it to Car Shows you'll get lots of lookers and positive comments.

I love this car.
Have you thought about bringing the rear bumper in closer to the body? I feel like it might flow a bit better.


Cant wait to see more progress!

 

Great work!

 

that patch panel came out awsome!

 

Very nice metal work!

 

second the really nice metal work, English wheel and a shot bag??

just wondering how you got the compound curve in there or was it more than one piece of metal???

any update or working too much like the rest of us???

 

Love this car, great job!

Inspiration for my 40 Super coupe project. Lots of good ideas here, thanks for sharing.
