Jim Woolums of Anderson, IN owns this FINE '47 Ford Convertible. Orange Juice you say! This 'vert is powered by a 350 Chevy in front of a 700R4 and ending up in a 9" Ford rear with a 3.50 gear. Boyd's 17 and 18" Rodder wheels make up the rolling stock. The paint is Pearl Orange and the interior wears tan leather. The body is filled, smoothed, frenched lights, front & rear rolled pans, driving lights in front pan, molded grille bars, door & trunk corners rounded, hand built rear bumpers, mirror housings and taillights. Frenched Ford emblems front and rear. Owner modified dash & hand built console. Top chopped 2.5", windshield "V" butted. Bitchen floor boards, running boards and firewall. Ultra leather interior w/wool carpet and cloth top. Jim says "I did All work on this car except the upholstery work. It took 6 years to build but this included having 2 shoulder operations and working 6 &7 days a week at the factory. I take a lot of pride in my work on this car. It's not perfect, but I did it! I hope other people enjoy it.

A fine job Jim, it just shows what people can do when they put their mind to it!
