Projects my early 47 getting it's new look

love those visors and just had to do it, with the bumper guards and wings, next will get fog lights, back up lights, has 3/4 race orig. engine, 5 speed, 8in rear and air, just love it, this one is a keeper

 

Not to be Neg but personally, visors don't look good on any car (including yours) except for Chevys. Don't have a cow or blow a gasket, I'm just stating my opinion..so don't flip out or get your shorts in a knot. If you're happy with the visor, keep it.

 

That's nailing it ! Now for some mudflaps, fake lakes pipes with 3 holes, & some of those neat wire deals for the headlights ....

 

^^^^^X2, stick on port holes too.

 

I could live with the visor more than the headrest on the seats.

 

My Dodge had a Fulton visor when I got her and still has. The next owner can put it in the trash if he likes but I like. Its your car make it like you want it.

 

Amen!

 

Visors look good on some customs and lowriders, but not on hot rodded yellow coupes with aluminum wheels.
Your car looks good but, It is really confused. Do you want a hot rod or a custom?

 

Looks like a 46 front end? Don't care for the visor, looked better without it, but it's your car.

 

Pay no attention to anyone's opinion but your own. Enjoy the ride.

Less is more.

 

you guys just sold me on it, real traditional hotrods have visors, thank you thank you

 

Now for some of them fuzzy dice.

 

2 questions, what is an "early" 47 and what is a 3/4 race engine ?

 

Nice car. Always liked these post WWII beauties.
Visor is fine but I'd loose those fugley wheels...

 

3/4 flathead race engine only runs on six cylinders.

Hump's avatar looks good.

 

to blue one, an early 1947 came out almost identical to a 1946, then they changed them, mine is a****led 1947, came out the first 2 weeks of 47 models, in my days a mildly warmed over flathead was called a 3/4 race motor. My car came with chrome reverse wheels, put these on temporary till the smoothies go on, you know making it mine, TJ

 

Probably a left over 46 first****led as a 47. That happened a lot back then. Don't think you can tell when it was actually built by the serial number, only the sequence it was built. No date coding on serial numbers back then, that came much later.

 

with the spots and the visor it looks more like a custom than a hot rod..not that that is a bad thing.
