I think that a person could buy a car in much better condition for that much money.

Mostly warm up. WHen I was a teen my first vehicle a 48 Chevy 1/2 ton had it. I did use it as a cruise control on flat ground only.

The throttle is hooked to the accelerator linkage, you can pull it out and it will increase the engine RPMs.

My shop floor looked like a 1920's Oklahoma dust storm hit it when I sanded mine. Took me 2 days with the door open and a leaf blower to get most of it out.

Looks as if I need to put my fasteners back in. Seems I forgot.

You're welcome. I can take photos of my finished deck now if you need them. I just got home.

If you can see the heads just pry them up. I went into the trunk and pushed them up from underneath.

My 47 had 7 or 9 push in buttons that held the fiberboard in place. I don't have any photos of them at the moment.

all i see is a bunch of numbers and letters.

Greg they look awesome.

some are steel some are copper.

KH they are pretty darn hard to find. Of course one popped up on ebay this morning that is in nicer shape than mine but the numbers are crooked for some reason. Slightly less than what I paid for mine also. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Alaska-ANTIQUE-license-plate-1947-Fiber-board-EXCELLENT-CONDITION-8-5x5-5/132417961738?hash=item1ed4b9bf0a:g:Ni8AAOSw1QpaIIXF D49 love those fat fendered big butt coupes.

Went to the DMV yesterday to register the coupe with an original 1947 license plate. Before I went I phoned and was told that I had to have a front plate. In 47 they only made one plate and it was made out of soy. I came up with the bright idea to make one out of an old clipboard. It looks similar to the soyboard but stronger. I had a sign maker paint it and digtally reproduce the lettering and numbers. The very nice lady that I dealt with at the DMV told me that the oldest plate that they had codes for was 69 and that replica plates were not allowed. When I told her that they only made one plate per car for 47 she went to her supervisor. They called the DMV director, who looked at photos of the replica and original and said do it. He'd personally put a note in my file saying that he authorized it. They also phoned the main DMV to get a code to enter the year in the computer. While I was there I permanently registered it for an additional $30. That way I will not face a hassle in the future. 1st is the original, 2nd and 3rd are the copies. I'm going to keep the original soyboard one in the glovebox and run both replicas until they tell me that I can't.

If you are going to buff the paint put the welt in after buffing. A buffer will destroy the welting.

Thanks PA.

I've got a problem posting in a post that I've already posted in. (say that 3 times fast). The "new post window" at the bottom of the page will already have whatever I've previously posted. I just highlight and delete words but how do I get rid of a video that is always in the new post window?

on my 47 coupe Mine would not go under the driveshaft as Don's does. Would have made them to close to the ground.

Don't know on this one but most of the 60's cars you had to pull, in your case down and twist.

Dan that's called evolution. The stupid are suppose to die off before breeding. Unfortunately we are no longer evolving we are devolving. The shallow end of the gene pool is fast becoming overcrowed.

We are heading towards the government protecting everyone from everything all the time. Whether you wish it or not.

I've never seen a 48 Dodge with electric wipers. Just Desotos and Chryslers. I used a Chrysler for my Dodge.

very nice car.
