Well guys now I'm really undecided. Is the resale value that much more if it's restored? I'm not planning on selling the car, but I don't want to cut the value by frenching the headlights and getting rid of the door handles, trunk handle, etc..

I was thinking maybe some 15" skylark wires and wide whites might look nice...

Also, I was wondering if '53 Ford hardtops would have the same glass? It looks like they're the same but I haven't done the math yet..
