  1. Im generally of the mindset that I like all cars, old, new, restored, rat rods, unrestored. However while im at car shows, I definitely find myself drifting away from the high dollar restoration vehicles. The ones that they have so much invested that their afraid to drive and if they move it 5 feet they spend hours cleaning it. I like my vehicles to be able to be driven and enjoyed. I do the things that make them comfortable and reliable to drive but try not to go overboard.
  2. I think I have finally settled on chrome smooties with the baby moons, I just have to figure out the offset now.
  3. Our weather is high 90s generally but also very high humidity so I definitely do not want leather.
  4. I really like the look of this interior.
  5. As I continue progress on my 47 Deluxe, I am wanting to start looking at handling the interior and am looking for some pictures / suggestions of what others have done. I want something not too far from original but I am trying to get a good idea before going and talking to an upholsterer.
  6. I like both but I do really like the look on the 41, do you know what backspacing you went with?
  7. Yeah I know, im not looking to go crazy just maybe a somewhat tasteful upgrade. I was doing some looking on google but just thought I would get some input on what others have.
  8. So as I slowly continue to work on my 47 deluxe, I am planning on purchasing new tires come spring and am trying to decide on whether or not to keep the original wheels and have them painted and try and find hubcaps or if I would like to do a moderate upgrade to different wheels. Car is Stock height and I am planning on purchasing radial extra wide white walls. What are peoples thoughts on this? Also if you have a picture of your car with a aftermarket wheel, I would love to see it.
  9. okay, thank you. Does anyone have any other input on the bumper guards/pads? Im assuming they are not supposed to angle inwards.
  10. I am assuming that yours is a two wire factory? mine is three.
  11. Definitely not right when it comes to myself. I have been busy with my father in the hospital and just haven't had time to even look at this site.
  12. yes turn signal bulbs are led so they flash super fast currently, yes still on 6v positive ground system.
  13. looks like that is a 12v flasher? I still run on a 6v positive ground system, but thank you.
  14. Yes I have always heard them called bumper pads but im sure bumper guards is also correct. I tried flipping them side to side and they wont line up correctly. The only thing I can think of is they are different if you are using the grill guard but cant seem to find any real information on this. I will have to look and see if I have a picture, I actually liked the look of it but the chrome is in horrible shape and it just stood out so bad.
  15. So here is the exact reason so many forums are dropping off. I asked a couple of questions looking for a little advice and the first response I get is a generic google search. Back in the day I would spend tons of time helping out on forums and trying to get people to the correct answers, this is what made them so popular for so long. Now there is always someone who just wants to say.... "Google It" . I posted this looking for advice because I have already googled it and unsuccessfully received the wrong flasher once and a non working flasher the second time so I was hoping someone could just turn me on to one they have used with good results. This way I could get the car out driving around and be able to take my father out since he really enjoys going for rides. Instead I get the typical BS response based off of an assumption that I asked a question without ever putting any effort into it myself.
  16. I recently decided to remove the grill guard off of my 47 d24 deluxe and when putting the bumper pads back on I realized that they angle inward on both sides. Is this normal or is there different pads to be used without the grill guard? Also does someone know of a source to replace the bolts for the pads? Also on another note would anybody have a good link to a flasher that will work for led bulbs?
  17. I have a 47 D24 Deluxe and Im wondering about the mirrors, are they factory in this location? I have looked at a bunch of pics and haven't found any others with the mirrors in this location but i do not see another spot on the car where they would mount. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9hcguvo2dhk0z27/20170903_132956.jpg?dl=0
  18. Thank you all very much, this answers my question.
  19. I am working on a 47 d24 and am trying to find out the size of the rear axle castle nut? Can anybody help me out? Also I am looking for a passenger wiper arm and am wondering if anybody has a source?
  20. the snap on 3 jaw puller is one that I have already tried and snapped one of the arms right in half, Hoping to get that replaced this week, I have now tried to have a puller on there with tons of pressure, heated and used a large slide hammer to go around the outer edges of the flange and still have yet to move this drum, Im really running out of ideas quite quickly.
  21. This is where I'm kinda confused, one person tells me I should have the lug bolts and another is saying that studs are normal
