My new ride is home!

This dusty '47 Ford was delivered about 1-2am Thursday morning!
Here's some pics...

 

Nice ride! Is it a runner?

 

Thanks Jr. Runs good, it's gotta 49 Merc flatty in it.

 

Scoot. That looks great. Does it have a dropped axle? It is going to be weird seeing you without the elky

 

cool wheels, thats really *****'n

 

Thanks Larry. I don't think it has a dropped axle, but I will check of course. I haven't had a chance to go over the entire car yet.

 

Great looking car. Looks as though you have found a really solid one.

 

Well how is it? Where are the Christmas Eve burnouts? Dont tell me you have to wait till after Christmas to drive it.

 

Great car! They make some great looking cruisers. Can't wait to see what you do to make it your own.

car-nut,

The car is pretty solid. I bought it from Blade's Rod Shop in PA, but it came from Kentucky. thanks.

JR,

I'd like to take burnout pics, but no one is around to take them right now. I'm hoping to bring it to the Showdown and get it dirty if my busy life permits.

Spike,

thanks, I don't have any plans laid out yet, but the first couple things I wanna do is lower it a couple inches and change the 3 on the tree to a gennie floor shift.

 

Sweet.

 

Congratulations!

Looks great... but would look even better with some bugs splattered on the windshield.

 

I Had my 53 Droped off last sat. that i bought from Oklahoma, it's a great feeling knowing it makes it in 1 piece

 

I really like it, especially with that merc flattie in it. Super nice score!

 

looks really solid

 

Looks like an old custom, smoothed trunk lid, and shaved driprails? Pretty cool
I have a TON of parts for these, I just got done putting together my 41 tudor sedan, so if you need something, let me know.

nice ride!!

 

Nice ride! What plans do you have for it?

 

thanks. I'm going to leave the paint as is, add subtle pinstriping, and lower it down a little. Will have more plans for it at as i go along. I'll keep the HAMBsters posted.

 

Very nice and drive it like you stole it.

 

Nice Looking Sedan When I Was A Kid They Were Running Around Town With Buicks In Them Tim

 

Nice Score! Lower it with a little rake and DRIVE IT!

 

Congrats Scooter!

I hope you put a ****load of miles on her this summer!

Well, it ain't a 59 El Camino (a home run for me), but I think I like it just as much. A perfect driving hot rod. I'm happy for ya. Hope it turn out how you want it.

 

Scooter, looks like a great ride. Just lower and enjoy!! Greg

 

Man, I do miss my Elky. I just had to sell it at that particular time.
Oh well, I must move on. Thanks all for the comments! I gotta go out and down some beers now. Have a Happy New Year!
