I just purchased a 1947 Champion 4 door and am waiting for it to be delivered in about a week or so. In the mean time I am pouring over some pictures I received to try to see what will be involved in bringing it back to roadworthiness. One of the pictures under the hood shows a box just behind the battery box. I am wondering if anyone would know what it is. It is between the battery and the firewall. I have decided to sell the convertible project - just a little too much money and time for me at this stage of my life. The 47 convertible was to replace the 48 Champion 4dr that I grew up with. The 4 door seems so much more familiar to me even in the pictures.
I plan on getting the hog trough model/drawings along enough for some one to complete to share them through the club for others to make their own for 47-52 convertibles and 52 hardtops.
Anyone have any ideas on the box in the picture?
Also, as part of my replication of the car I grew up with, I wan to use the grill and bumper from the original 48. Was the hood different other than the nameplate holes on the 48 vs 47? It is a different part number.
Thanks
Neil
