So is it the Stromberg or the Carter? im assuming maybe one was for fluid drive and one not? Also as for the float being clogged, I will pull that out and check but either way I would still like to get to where I can make the fluid drive system work correctly.

I own a 1947 d24 fluid drive car and yesterday I decided to pull it out for the first time after its winter hiatus. Car started great, backed it outside and almost immediately started pouring gas out of numerous spots on the carb. I have previously rebuilt this carb a few years back and know I could go through it again and probably be fine, however as to my understanding its not the correct carb for a fluid drive car and as I would eventually like to get that whole system working correctly so I was thinking I would like to install the correct carb. Current carb is a Carter b&b D6H2 and if I have read and understand correctly this would be off of a 49 car? From what I have read I believe the carb I would need would have a spot to connect a wire for the fluid drive system?, so basically what I'm looking to find out is there a good replacement carb I can by for a fluid drive car or do I need to try and find an original and rebuild or what would be the best course of action.

100% agreement

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.

I think I have finally settled on chrome smooties with the baby moons, I just have to figure out the offset now.

Very Nice

Our weather is high 90s generally but also very high humidity so I definitely do not want leather.

I really like the look of this interior.

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.

I like both but I do really like the look on the 41, do you know what backspacing you went with?

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.

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.

okay, thank you. Does anyone have any other input on the bumper guards/pads? Im assuming they are not supposed to angle inwards.

I am assuming that yours is a two wire factory? mine is three.
