So here’s my next project now that the Safari 914 is done. I don’t anticipate getting into it until fall/winter, but I now have the base for the project. It’s a 1941 Cadillac series 61 that I plan to put on a modern Escalade platform.
If there’s interest I’ll update this as a project thread. I realize this is far from the intended scope of this forum, and if there’s no interest I’ll not fudge up the forum with this non-914 project. But if there’s interest, I’ll post progress once I dig in.   |

Decided to attack the front fender next. I had to relocate the fender opening 11.5” rearward and was really worried how this would look. I used the same fender lip as the rear fender (dodge pickup repair panel) but had to fab the area in front of the opening to blend with the curvature of the fender. I’m happy with the results and it looks pretty good. Minimal filler and it will look like it was made this way.
