You GF has a good idea. That car deserves fit and finish, and lends itself very well to the "custom" look. A Westergard style treatment would be cat's ass. Be careful with clips as most common ones can be a little too wide for these cars. If it is on the stock chassis look into a MII setup. Here's a little inspiration from another '41. It's a Buick, but the lines are very similar to the Chebby and I think this car pulls off the early tasteful custom look great...

Very kool!!! Yeah we will see how the clip looks and get all the measurements before we cut anything then if it won't work we'll look for a mustang II kit for :)

Gonna stash the car til christmas eve and then bring it home :)
 
LD, the 67 to 69 Camaro clips are narrow enough for these cars the 70 and up are too wide.
On these, the MII is a better looking and better way to go, actually easier than a Camaro too. jmy2cents
