Customs This 41 Ford is Haunting me!!!

is it just me or is this car cool?
i really like the body stylei really like this paticular car.
post yours if you got one styled like this.

 

I love '41s.Especially taildraggers!

 

It's been posted here many times,but this is my favorite 41 Ford...






Of course,it got painted red and looks like shit now...

 

'41's are one of my favorite's. It would also look cool with a chop like Chad S's '47 coupe.

 

Here's another BADASS one,but I think it's a Merc.

 

Ahh, the real deal, Im so tired of seeing that "blue thing"!

Heres a pic of the side of the car (from Rikster's site). See how unbalanced that chop is? It really throws off the rear fenders, and makes the rear end look way too bulky. A well thought out custom is about keeping a proper balance, that car really lacks balance. Making the rear window flat may eliminate the "crease" some of these get when they are chopped, but it doesn't create flow either.

 

LOVE the suede look... I'd chop it tho.

 

that blue "thing" has got to have the worst chop ever,,,,,,damn,,,california ski slope....

wow,,yucky...

 

I like it, looks better than the stock top hat wearer's roof line.

 

Yea,it's pretty extreme,and I wouldn't have chopped it that much,or with that "slope",but I still would take it! I actually like 41's with a Carson top.

 

Badonk-a-donk

 

and the crazy thing is so many people seem to drool over it. Well, you know what they say about opinions.

Heres a pic of mine when it came back from being chopped (almost 3 years ago now!)


And a rear 1/4 shot from about 6-8 months ago (no more drip rails!)

 

That,to me,is a perfect chop!!! I love the look of your top...

 

You dont have to convince me! After I finish the 47 (I need maybe another year before its 100% done, interior and all), My plans are to build a carson topped 41. Sam Barris gold, Hollywood flipper caps, 41 stude taillights, ford crestliner steering wheel. The picture has been growing in my mind for a while now. I REALLY want a well done carson topped car.

 

We have the same tastes!!! That sounds fantastic...Hope to see it some day.

 

you said that the blue 41 ford " is my favorite 41 Ford..."
and Chad said he didnt like it...so how can you have the same taste???

p.s.,,,i love Chads 41!!!!

 

Thanks, I hope to see it someday soon as well. For now I'll have to just refer to that picture in my head.

 

I do like the blue 41! But I would cut the top off and make a Carson top,same as Chad said.
Do you just look for something to argue about?

 

no ..i just thought it was funny!

 

I would be thrilled to death to own this unbalanced, Blue Thing....Man, I don't know what you guys drive, but if you can throw stones that big at this one, you must have some absolutely stunning cars! I wonder if they're as good as you think they are....Seriously. Centurion9

 

well,,nothing i have or have built recently can compare to a Saab 9-5 Aero i'm sure

 

To each his own,buddy! I love my Merc,but i know it's not everybodies dream car. Does it really matter?

 

Well, I just got my car on the road last weekend, so I'm posting it everywhere cuz I'm all excited.....I started off wanting to clone that blue one....but then I thought it was just a little too hammered....and then I looked at it and thought if the "B" pillar was slanted, the quarter window might have a nicer shape to it.....I also wanted to retain the gutters cuz I found without them I was always staring at the door gap.... so anyways, here's mine........and and more........and one more.........I knew what I wanted, but I don't have the skills to do it, so thanks to Laurie and Geoff Peterson of Canada Customs and Hot Rods for the chop....

 

By the way SQUIGY....your 36 is still haunting ME.....HUGE potential there....I still have the pix.....

 

Nice car!!!

 

You're just an arrogant smartass.... Guys like you are just too self important for your own good.....I love your Chevy BTW, it's one of my favorites, liked the old paint better, but, it's your car...You get to do it the way you like it.... BTW, I drive what I like.......You too? Centurion9

 

Paucho....you ought to be excited! Beautiful ride! Congratulations.....Centurion9

 

Paucho: Your's is right on. It looks & sit's just right.What type of front suspension are you using?.

 

.....Thank you....I'm using a Nova clip BUT, I wouldn't recommend it....it was a nightmare !....It's way to wide and had to be narrowed which turned out to be a pretty big deal,but it's all sorted out now.....If I had to do it again, it would be a dropped axle or Mustang 2 ....
