They look good, I went ahead and bought some white wall tires I kept my eye's open for a sale on white wall's I didn't buy them right away because they are pricy. Now I'm wishing I just got regular tires because the 47 coupe just sits more then she's on the road. It's not to hard to come across white wall tires here in California people are always selling some kinda wheels with white wall tires Crokers, swap meets, paper's Craig's list, or word of mouth. They do cost more than just black wall tires and depending on the brand and size of tires. Because the low rider community have there small wheels and white wall's that are pretty cheap none expensive. When you get into the radio steel belted white wall's Crokers that's when the price goes up but it make the Car and truck look so much better with them.

Damn, the dog finds out all the good stuff before we do!! Drill and tap, who would of thought.. now he's counting how to spend money cause I got to have some of those. And the air manifold on a electronic switch... thats the stuff that makes men smile. No more air valves. One thing I seen rat rod bob do was use his air conditioner compressor, the top one is the air supply for the tank. He did take the part that those pipes go into and put a plug or something in so it didn't dump oil into the tank. Not too bad a idea as it is really simple to hook a toggle on it to run or not. If the tank is as good as it looks then it shouldn't leak and wala boom, bill is a uncle to me. I swear that rodding is gaining popularity. Well sorta as some are just nice rides that go up and down. Nice going Brent ... really nice going for a old truck that looks like some farmer kicked to the curb is now someones dream.

It’s definitely looking fine and I would love to own it.
