Default New guy with old ford

Hi,

Bought a '47 Ford a couple of months back and had been tossing around ideas on what to make out of it, ie restore it or go all out on it, when a friend of mine sent me a build link to another truck just like mine on here. Read the thread and a few others and now i'm sold. New plans for the truck are: 4bt with manual 5 speed (not sure what yet), a Dyna 60 dually axle out in the back, custom flatbed, and slammed to the ground. Here's a few pictures to keep you entertained:

Thanks guys!

@jmac: sadly none of the vehicles in the background are mine, but rather the guy who i bought the truck from. He also had a cool Hudson Terraplane (this would be an awesome Streetrod), another '47, and a '32 Ford couple inside.
