41 buick chopped coupe

[damodelguy phx az]

my 41 buick body recreation, into a chopped coupe. my resin bodies involve your creativity also in finding chassis, interiors, oh and dont forget, fitting windows. i built my 41 buick with a 41 ford woody donor kit. (you my think of a different donor) chassis was lengthened 1/4 back at the rear end area of the frame. it has a second piece of the x frame so it can be used for strength. i also moved the rear back a little to sit in the skirt area a little nicer, and also to lower its stance. i also cut the front axle to move it forward a little, also to lower it. i used the kit pipes but changed the mufflers to make up the added frame lenght. used kit interior, with side panels trimed to fit. hood is solid so i put the kits motor in it. im not as much of a detail person as many are. i built for collection shelf presentation, try to get the parts in place, but not wired, tubed, or even colored up. cant be seen, and wont be judged. im about different, and helping to show you can work outside the box, BOXES i say.  tidbit, fellow model buddy, tom w, suggested grinding out from back to put the grille in this body. it worked very well.  thanx Tom,  im building 3 of these bodies, 1 is a 3rd reconstruction not yet finished to mold yet. so i was working on 3 complete chassis at same time, for the 3 builds   and thanx for lookin  glen

Excellent build, lots of work but your final result came out really well. I like the satin finish a lot.

Well done Glen, I like your model building philosophy.

I would love to see all the conversion work you did to create the master! You have really captured the lines of those pre-war Buicks very well indeed. Using the 41 Ford chassis is a great idea as cars of that era had many similarities in chassis design and as long as the owner of a real 41 Buick doesnt turn it over, you would never know!. So cool!!!
