Ok here is my plan in the form of a quick sketch I drew up today... here are the plans (if I ever have the $$ and can find the parts): -Chopped Top -1946 Chevy grille with front part of the front fenders attached to the 41 rear front fenders. -Hopped Up Chevy Inline 6. -Misc. Caddy parts (hubcaps, steering wheel, etc.) -Desoto style bumpers -Bubble Skirts -Air Suspension ....The list goes on.... Tell me what you think..(both idea wise and art wise)
Cool idea great drawing, but I am not a fan of bags, set it where you want it and drive.I drive a 48 coupe daily but would like to get a fleetline and do basically what you just drew up....Danny
<font color="green"> Very nice drawing! Interesting concept. My first thhought was... Why not just start with a 46? But, I dig the front end with the shorter front fenders. Never did like the split front fenders. RASHY</font>
the reason i wouldn't start with a 46 is because i already have a 41...and i agree with you on the split fenders
I've got a decent '46 grille that I'll trade ya fer that '41 grille,...I want to do the opposite of you,stick a '41 grille in my '46 coupe, let me know if you're interested...
Fat is where it's AT!!! I think the design looks smooth, and early custom semi-sinister. Artwork...nice shadowing and detail! Proportions look kind of like the taildragger answer to MUSCLE MACHINE's jacked-up look...belongs on a shirt that belongs in my wardrobe! Steve
Just sold my 41, the grill was one of the things I liked best, had a 46, liked the grill, hated the fender extensions take alot of time figuring your chop, sometimes they look really good, but with the tall body, the proportions go all out of wack. Good luck with your project....Scott
<font color="purple"> Why don't you 2 just trade cars, 41 for the 46, instead of the grills only? Just thought I'd ask.... </font>
I like! What color??? Maroon would be very trad & consistent with the overall theme. Maybe add some pearl to bring out all those big round curves
[ QUOTE ] Here's a pic of my bro's '47 Aero... Concept looks good...Gotta love them Aero's... R- [/ QUOTE ] Nice Aero! I dig the way the lake pipes follow the body, with that bend at the end of the front fender, that's a way cool detail.
Nice drawing! I like the grill switch idea. I'm curious what a 41 grill would look like in a 46 chevy. Or do you mean your Ford, Mr Gasser?
Thanks Guys!! So what Chev 6 cylinder and tranny should I go with??...so I can keep an eye out for stuff....I don't want to run a big six I was thinking a 261 would be good, but???? Also what should I do to hop it up...I want to run a 3x1 intake mainly for looks what else should I do...just want a street engine that i can jump on occasionally....
