Joe, your '48 is very, very nice and I really like your '47. Something about the big fenders and that sloping back just does it for me, that's why I bought mine. Your cars make my '46 (I just found out recently, the title indicated '48 incorrectly) look like a turd! But it will be a fun one to drive when it is finished. How drastic is the difference in driving quality between the '48 with the original suspension/brakes and the '47 with the modern front sub-frame? The reason I ask is that I am going the original route because I am cheap, might do the sub-frame deal in the future some day. By the way, I do have a spare straight six if you know anyone that is interested, the transmission too, as I am not going to use either one.
