one of my favorites

 

^^^^^ my new favorite ^^^^^^

My door is always open. I never turn fellow hot rodders away.

 

O.K. here's my two cents worth

WHAT'S WITH THE DELETING OF MY PICTURE ROYALSHIFTER ??

 

That's perfect. Whose was it?

 

Mine, bought it for $200. when I was stationed at Travis A.F.B. in '58

 

still got it?

 

Long gone, wish I still had it, good clean, straight body beautiful for an eleven year old car. sold it to a muffler shop guy in San Jose to have money to get back to L.A. dumb ass me with the price of gas at that time, taking it home would have been no problem Typical H.U.A. move.

 

Tim, check out these convertible concepts by Janne Kutja on the Kustomrama site.


And here's something to help you in the design stage:

 

^^^^ those are perfect, thanks ^^^^^

Im thinking chopped as well. I dont know how expensive it would be to have a top made for it.

 

"1947 Fords handle so well that police departments demand them!"

 

Nice...

 

Let's channel our inner Ralph Macchio...

 

Sweet.
