Description
Here's a few photo's of my '47 Ford convertible. I am a lifelong hotrodder and grew up in the hobby. This car was started when my wife and I started a family and I needed a car with a back seat. After a search we found a great candidate and 10 years later the car was completed and is now being thoroughly enjoyed. The car has a 358 small block chev, Mustang II, Ford 9" rear, Halibrand Wheels, Leather interior and trunk, Mercedes Top, 2.5" Chop and a 1000 watts of Kenwood sound. I just completed a 2700 mile round trip to Bonneville Salt Flats and back, with my Father and my uncle. This trip was extra special as we lost my brother 2 years ago and he wanted his ashes spread at the Salt Flats. This was a great trip and car performed and handled very well.
