I have a 1930 Tudor that has been upgraded with turn signals, LED headlights and taillights, radial tires, seat belts...etc.... I know it is still not a safe car, but it is better than stock. Just wondering what can be done to a T to make it safer.
I have seat belts in all my antique cars, including my 1909 Model T. Recently was in an accident with my '27 T, coming to a stop when this jerk cut right in front of me. I hit him as I hit the brakes and was glad I had a seat belt on, even though I was going slow at the time. Better than no seat belt anytime.
