    I don't know if any of You here remember My other 41 Chevy, it was one of My fav-o-rites , I wrecked it then fixed it and then lost interest in it, once it was gone then I really missed it, so when My buddy Ace told Me about this one I was all in, When Myself, Big Al, Ace, and "The Savage" went and picked it up, it was torn apart, body off the frame, and no front or rear suspension was left, the body was on a cart with a hitch up front and 2 small tires in the back, it made it easy to load on the trailer that way, but the Chevy's frame went in the back of the other truck, " Big Al" has lots of trucks good thing because this was a two truck job. basically I'm just copy'in My old car, but this one I've Z'd the back and used Mustang 2 up front. I'll take more pix tomorrow. Von Doc

    Here's more pix, I did the quad lights just like My other 41, tubing and sheet metal, hand formed, the grille opening has been "tighten'd up, and a grille bar from a 54 Dodge fills the new grille area( I shorten'd the grille), the skirts came from Gene Winfeild and are Buick. Von Doc

    I was planning on chop'in it, but My youngest Son Thomas is 6'2 or6'3 and He is only 15, so I'm gonna wait on the chop because He and I are sharing this car too. Here is an old pic of My other Chevy.

    Thanks, My blue one looked alot like Yours when I first put it together, they are good looking cars from the factory, but, working with Gene Winfeild caused Me the need to cut up everything, thanks Gene, You ruined My life hahaha.
