Technical 1941 Ford-Mercury Custom Ideas

Some flame and pinstripe ideas. I’m sure there are other great patterns.

 

I just realized what was going on in the pin stripping

 

Yeah, I was thinking bunny rabbit, but maybe not.

 

I was thinking of a rat, but I can see a rabbit too.

 

That's the most copied Von Dutch design ever. Dutch called it "Harvey, shaken by crossbreeding" and yes it is a rabbit.

I like this style flames and plan to flame something this way someday...

 

Mr Mick really knows his pinstrips. I have admired the skills for years. I probably couldn’t pull a decent line to save my life.

 

I think Dick Dean did a sneaky chop on a sedan years ago that involved dropping the body without cutting the roof at all. I don't have pics, but I'm sure someone on here will pipe up.

 

Run that by me again? How do you chop a roof without chopping it?

 

I'd like to know the answer to that also

 

Just saw this one on insta. For sale. Looks like a good one.

 

Ha...thats my ride here in the UK

 

I like it like that.

 

you say you saw it on the internet and it will get repeated over and over till it becomes fact, because i read it on the internet it is traditional

 

This is how you chop a sedan without cutting the roof. I know of what I speak...

 

Finished project.

 

Read and look at the pictures again. Dick chopped the A,B and C pillars and dropped the rear into the body

 

Yes, without cutting the roof skin.

 

Ah, well, that's playing with words.
I also chopped my sedan project without cutting the roof skin.

 

It's still a chopped top no matter how you look at it or how you phrase it

 

Valley Custom Shop built 41 sedan

 

Valley Custom Shop built 41 coupe

 

Flipping through an old(er) Street Rodder magazine and could it be

 

Yes that's it. If I'm remembering correctly those were taken at Nats North in 98 by Steve Hendricks/Hendrickson. His handle here was Just Steve. Been a couple of changes since back then. It was a 396/T-350 then now 454/700R4, 4 wheel drum brakes then, now 4 wheel disc

 

Saved this from somewhere.

 

I decided to open this up to 1941 Merc ideas also. The ‘41 Mercury is a one year only also on the front clip. I might end up choosing one over the Ford.

 

Tis has been my favorite 1941. I watched it come together . A great looking car.

 

I’m trying to make mine a little prettier without cutting up the body. Doing brakes, suspension, wheels and tires right now.

 

Wow that is clean

 

Wow! I like your coupe! And, you are close by so maybe I’ll see it in person soon?
