    I bought my self a -47 Streamline a year ago from the states and got it delivered at the end of May. I want to see your car and catch up some inspiration.
    This is when the car was loaded in the Us in early Mars and heading to Fort Lauderdale for shipping to Sweden.

    A few month later it shows up at my place.

    In this pics the car is just unloaded.

    And finally in place in my shop.

    I replaced the wire wheels for steelies with Bf Goodrich 7.10-15 and mounted a Dieterich visor I had before to get a more classic style.

    IMG_8392.jpg This is how the car looks right now but it sits way too high for my taste even with 4" blocks in rear an cut coils in front so my plan for the winter is to mount a 4-link and get rid of the leaves in rear and replace the stock 4.30:1 gears to a 3.63:1. I already started the work with a parallel 4-link with Panhard bar.

    Finally I wish you all a Happy New Year 2019
