39/41 Wagon Rod

[curt raitz]

Upcoming NNL West Theme: "Wagons and Wings"

Here is what I came up with. 

Took the body from the '39 Wagon Rod and dropped it on a '41 Chevy Truck chassis, thus replacing the UGLY front end of the Wagon Rod.

Dropped a small block in it, lowered the ride height, added whitewalls, part box wheels and "ratted" it up bit.

Thanx for lookin'

Front end looks so much better. What a great idea.

[Scalper]

[Renegade]

Looks like a winner.

[Flatout]

Genius ?

[Koellefornia Kid]

That front end was a very good idea! Looks much better than the original, for sure!

[Dave Darby]

Now that is not only a great idea, but super nice execution as well.

Nicely done. Like the exhaust through the fender too.

Curt my Brother.....Killer build,turned out great.....wish I was going to the NNL West to try and win that bad boy in the raffle ?

[Bernard Kron]

Simple and effective! Nice one.

[Dennis Lacy]

This is awesome! The truck front end really works yet I don't think I'd have ever thought of it myself. I love the lightly weathered finish and the hubcaps are different in a cool way! 

[carrucha]

Very good conversion.

[avidinha]

That's way cool.

[ChrisR]

Very nice!!

Great idea on the front end swap and the ageing looks just right as if it's in constant use.

This is the first build of the Wagon Rod that I actually like!

Hi,

Wow this looks really really top shelf.

If it were a Scotch, it would be Lagavulin.
