sirstude Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I am building a 1941 Olds model 76 fastback, and have a 1941 Model 66 4 door parts car. Does anyone know if any of the sheet metal, front clip, and rear fenders from the 66 will fit my 76? The two cars are about 100 miles apart, so I don't really want to drive up and try to take the 66 apart and bring it all back if it will not fit. Curious about the dash trim also, but I am pretty sure that will not fit. I know the 66 is basically a Chevrolet, and the 76 is a Buick/Pontiac/Olds/small Caddilac.ThanksDoug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oldsmobile1915 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I beg to differ... I have a '48 66 and a '47 76. The front sheet metal are not the same... just the grill. The dashboard is different width, the fenders are different length... I hope with yours that they were the same, but they were not for me. Best of luck~Joe Ferreroritthesis@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Julian Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I concur.. I know on the 42s. that the sheet metal from the 66 to the 98s are all different.. I have been collecting 42 parts for 3+ yrs now and have gone through the learning process of what works and what doesnt.. 76-78 sheet metal is only comon to that body style. The grills, bumpers are the same but the body chrome is differnent length as well.. So I try my best to identify what series of car it is from before I purchase... good luck with your car.. LOVE THOSE slant back, torpeodo back styles.. super cool.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirstude Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Thanks for all the info. After I measured the 66 I figured that out. I did find all 4 NOS fenders, so am in much better shape now.Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
