  • I have owned this 1947 Chevy for almost 20 years. It's not my first hotrod, but it's the one I've owned the longest. Long story short, I sold all my cars when I bought my first house and I went without a classic car for about a year. This old Chevy was my first classic I owned living on my own. Well time went on and this old car got put in storage and forgotten for years.
    You guys have been bugging me for years to get it back on the road. I do love this car and she deserves a little more attention. Let's put some miles on this old girl!

    I wouldn't chop it, it looks great like it is, those cars are like tanks built solid, they made the seats like living room furniture, huge, it would look cool to see a double blower on it, but that would mess up the hood, I would probably try to find a large piece of land & put a steel building on it to store all my cars, all the cars you have are really priceless 1 is you have taken them from useless to running & they are not making them anymore! But ultimately its your decision! 👍

    Speaking as a man who never wants to get rid of anything. I still have my 73 F100 I bought in 1984. I really think you should consider advancing the 47 to an up-and-coming hot-rodder who would love to get his mitts on a running driving vintage automobile. Then devote that time and money to possibly getting the model A further along. Anyway keep doing what you're doing I enjoy the crap out of your content.

    Not even joking, the 47 is my favorite of all the cars you’ve had on your channel, it’s so dang gangster and sinister…..😎

    The stance is odd. The car is really nice Dan. I think larger rims with nice pair of radial tires might help out the look. I just think a bit of chrome on the wheels... yeah needs larger rims.
