Keeping my Rocketbird fairly stock, but I am putting XJS IFS/IRS under my 1941 Chevrolet Coupe.
Will be a total sleeper with a nice taildragger stance.
Whats under her skirts is none of your business. ;)

I thought about adding 1 row of louvers where the strakes are one a '61.

Decided that my car is more custom and clean is the way to go, so I passed.

I am putting '64 interior with the capped buckets and casino rear.
I'd like to find a pair of ribbed Galaxie cap trim, but no luck yet.

I ran '01 Bullitt's on mine, but quickly got tired of the look.
Then went to real American Torque Thrust.
Now have steelies with spiders and WWW.

I did my interior to match my new '64 turquoise seats.
I stripped my nasty green aluminum and cleared the panels wit some blue-green pearl.
They're based bright silver, and the clear has an iridescent pop that really goes with the interior color.

4200 is almost 1500 lbs over what it was designed to carry and as a commuter car not a performance car to boot.

I am looking at options for a '41 Chevrolet.
