    Newbie from Canada

     



    Hello all of you.

    I just recently bought a 1947 Pontiac Silverstreak and plan on hot Rodding it.

    This site seems very educational and hope to learn alot from it.

    Take care

    Welcome to CHR. And speaking of learning, I really hope your are not planning on working on that car while it is sitting on those concrete blocks!!!!! They are not safe at all.....

    It could have been sitting on them for 500 years, but the very instant you crawl under the car, they're gonna break. Murphy's Law.

    I'm new here too. But still want to welcome you to the site. That is sure one lucky find. I won't mind getting my hands dirty on that one. It'll make one cool ride for sure.

    Just found out this car is rare. A 2 door sedan is hard to come by and one guy even says its 1 of 148 plus its a 46 not a 47.

    Looks like I wont be rodding this one afterall

    Restore this one back to original and then look for another one.
