Good sugjestion, but I think the paint is bought, but It's all good, My friend painted his stock '52 Switter '02 Viper Red, and it's BRIGHT. You need sun glasses to look at it.

You're building a split, That is Awesome we're building a '47 split now that's a Basket Case. The crazy things people will do for old cars.

WOW!!! I already have the paint.

We just got done building a '51 and it was a basket case too. It was painted a kind of teal green, very nice color. But the '47 will be a mat-black, plane jane. We pulled the windows out of the '47 and I kid you not, there are holes under all the window rubber except 1 of the rear windows. It is rotted almost all the way across the dash. If it was anything other than a split it would be trown away.

A '47, that should be saved.
Give it a roof chop, cut out the rear window & b pillars & smooth the dash - Proper Bo' Custom

That's what I said, But it's not my decision. :Joke:

About the only thing good about it is the rear window, dash, and package tray. Everything else will need work.

As for the color, i think Plum Crazy Purple would look awesome. As would Grabber Blue. I think a split window smoothed in would also look awesome. Cant wait to see pics of it though.
