My 1941 chevy

Im the 17 yr. old owner of a '41 chevy that I got after trading 2 quads for it. I got it not running & sitting in the previous owners back yard for 15 plus years. With the help of my dads long time friend/mechanic he was able to figure out the problem, change parts on it and tune the engine/tranny/rear end and now its a running car. It has a 235 inline 6 engine from a '48 chevy fleetline & a '57 chevy rear end & everything else is original. With money I saved up i was able to pay my dads friend to get it running, do all electrical work on it and put dual straight 1.5 inch pipe on it which sounds awesome with the fenton headers it has on it. Its a work in process but i have major plans for it and im excited to finally be able to cruise this car around town.

@godfatherJP1993. Yeah thats actaully my next step.. i primered the car grey and put some white walls on it so now it looks way better. New vid is comming soon.

Reference to the engine, I thought only the 216 engines were available in 1948.

[dr4l0303]

@dcrj46. My mistake. I meant to put 49 fleetline. My bad. I just havent had time to change it yet. Thanks

doesn't sound the greatest though :\ may just be your camera.

[dr4l0303]

@2pac591. Yeah I think it is just the quality of the camera. This is one of those little digital cameras that suck. It sounds way better with an actual camera recorder or in person. Thanks for the comments though.

The first car I ever owned was a 1941 Chevy. That was in 1966, and it was just a cheap used car. I paid $65 for it, earned working the summer for a beekeeper. Since I was 14, my mom drove it all the time. We used it to move from Colorado to Arkansas, where my mother eventually burned out the clutch and traded it for a wringer washer.

Hey man im the 17 year old owner of a 51 pontiac. these old cars really give you something to do and a lot of satisfaction when youre dirving them huh? if youve got the primer grey over bare metal, dont get the unsealed primer wet too much because its pourus and will seep through and rust from within. im about to prime mine in grey temporarily as well and thats what i heard. i hope youre going the traditional route with this!

Very cool....just making a deal on a 41 chevy coupe. Going far from original on it though.....383 chevy small block stroker, mustang 2 front end, ford 9 inch in the rear, wanted a 4 speed for it, but the wife says she'll burn up the clutch in no time, so auto it'll have to be. Nice ride bud.

@dcrj46 ooops i forgot they had em to i believe 34 or 35

[dcrj46]

@460fordtruckman The 37 Chevy had 216 motors. Before that?

[460fordtruckman]

@dcrj46 they had 216s all the way back to 38
