    Definately keep the skirts, the chop seems to be coming out very well, and im glad to see youre using the original instruments inside. My personal opinion would bring the front end up a bit, for a tail dragger stance, but overall, im really excited to see this car come together.

    Little update. I found some convert trunk hinge's, they are shorter and make the deck look longer. New rock pan for the rear bumper.

    Looking sick! I have a 41 olds coupe that im in the process of grafting 41 Buick front clip. Your thread is giving me some great inspiration! Hard top? What have you been thinking for paint?

    Dang. This is turning out to be a killer custom. The roofline is just perfect.

    Ok, i got a few questions...... Are the front discs 5 on 5 bolt pattern?. and did you have any trouble with the disc brakes and the stock wheels? did you beef up the stock trailing arms?. and what did you use to locate the front of them to the frame?

    New pan and rust repaired. Body molded to meet the new pan. The stock pan is very square didnt really flow with the over all look. So new gravel guard was made.
