    We won't discuss here what it looked like before. It was a 90's Street Rod.This is the first stage of the Makeover.

    Good luck on making the change, I am still going through it, Dumped the billet and mono chrome paint, hope to change the interior next year. Have someone photo shop it for ya if you don't have any fixed ideas on paint style or color. Looks killer in primer as well. :)[​IMG][/IMG]

    I'd like to see more pics of this '47. I've got a '46 two door sedan waiting it's turn to get built. I saw a pic of it in your spraybooth tech, got anymore pics of it? Looks neat, would like to see some before pics.

    I just had the pleasure (OK maybe pleasure is the wrong word) of having Bob call me on his way through Farmer City, Illinois. He is about halfway to Louisville.

    Oh and for the before pic, who remembers Teal green? Ha Ha Ha

    Bob,
    I met you out on the Salt Flats last year, and I'm still a lurker FNG.
    Those fender skirts really change the look, I like them alot.

    Here are some pics of my '46 sedan. I've been working on it a year and just got it on the road. I'm still deciding what to use for wheels/tires, but these gotta go.

    You can use these for before pics if you're embar***ed to show us yours:rolleyes: .

    See you on the Salt.

    Yeah!, two more cars have completed re-hab from their bad 1980s binge.
    Bob: You found the skirts!
    UPS: Killer Watson flames!
    Ron: What's up - you decided against the "high school confidential" chop? Oh well...the shape of the post turned out great!

    That thing reminds me of a dark maroon high tech cestom from the 80s.It had some ****in disgusting hideaway headlights but sported a set of wide whites and 53 Cad caps. In retrospect I think it was a 40 two door sedan.Your car looks great!
