1941 Chevrolac Bobber

[Chuck Most]

This project began many years ago, and stalled out for quite some time. It began with a '20's Oldsmobile chassis (Beverly Hillbillies kit) set up on some Radir mags and wide whites. A chopped '41 Chevy cab from Jimmy Flintstone and a '36 Ford truck grille from Drag City casting were also used, along with a homemade bed. I had originally planned for the rod to be powered by a straight eight, but I figured if a straight eight would fit, so would a V16. It wasn't quite as straightforward as I'd have wanted, but the '31 Cadillac mill slid into the frame with a little work. Some Replicas and Miniatures Stromberg carbs were installed.

I love those "Thinking outside the box" designs. Well done.

Though I don't build hot rods, I really like this!  I could get one of Cadillac kits with the V16, now I'm more tempted.

Cool! The v-16 was definitely the way to go. I like the 50's style fins on the back too. Nice build.

Way cool early 50's style show rod before "show rods" got out of hand.
