Next Project (non-914) Options

[East coaster]

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.

Been busy on the project even though it’s been dismally hot….feels like temps of 120 and I’m sure I’m boosting that a little by welding all day…ugh!

That said, I’ve made good progress. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to retain the stock GMC radiator and fit it under the hood line. There was no single mod to lower it down, but I found 8 different little mods that collectively allowed me to move it down to clear…yay!

Next was fitting the Caddy radiator support and making sure I could modify it to fit. I’ll have to fabricate a new top section but that’s not a problem.

Also finished modifying the other front fender to move the wheel arch back and enlarge it……getting there!
