I want to know from those who have done it or know someone who did.... Before I put out The $1,000..... Thanks
Welcome to fordbarn. You asked your question in a section intended for questions to the editors about the site. Few people read it and even fewer respond. You should leave this post where it is but also post here: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=8. My advice would be to drive it awhile before you start trying to modify it.
