Ok so I bought a 47 ford deluxe all original parts runs great not sure which way I should go with it I know it would look good redone or as a ratrod any opinions or other suggestions?

got any pics?

Why would you rat rod a 47 ford that runs great and has all original parts?

Just enjoy it, no need to restore if it runs great and has original parts, no need to destroy it by making it into a rat rod..

Also pics.

Will post pics tomorrow to dark now
And ozzy has very valid point that equals to if it aint broke dont fix it

/co-sign

I might be inclined to start working on it as a resto project, making it show-worthy, but I wouldn't rat rod it, if it's in otherwise good condition.

it wsnt my idea my dad is way into ratrods and just saw what he would do..which is why im asking views

There's plenty of garbage out there to rat rod out "I'm a huge fan of a well built rat rod", don't destroy a car just in the sake of making one. You can pick up an old plymouth for next to nothing that you can rat it out.

Glhf post pics.

also true ..I have been eyeing up an old junked up t-bucket down the road would prob be better concidering its all funked up

Excuse the flowers and bullet holes

Oh man...that is beautiful. The deluxe, I'm fairly certain, is kind of rare. I'd definitely just clean that up. Leave the original/current paint on it, electronic ignition...bam. A really awesome ride.....that will get like 15mpg tops.

Sweet pickup nonetheless.
