We are preservationists. Keeping the model A Pretty much as Henry built it is our goal. HC heads, Juice brakes, even 16" wheels, Brighter lights, blinker lights, seat belts all seem to be , sorta OK, with most of us. A case for safety could probably be made for those and a few more. However the only times we would tolerate the cutting of sheet metal is for welling fenders and making, fitting or using patch panels. You wouldn't cut up the Betsey Ross flag would you? That's the historical context that we see our historical artifacts in.

They are not 'rat rods', and look basically stock, except a little tough to hide the 16" wheels, not that I want to hide them.
See ya on the road.
