Thought I'd share one of my projects ... 1953 Mainline Coupe. Original 6-cyinder with 3 on the tree but manual steering and brakes are a chore to drive with all the morons on the road these days.

I have a '53 with the same setup. The manual brakes and steering don't bother me too much. But that unsynchronized first gear is a pain. Having to come to a complete stop to get it in first gear tends to annoy the people behind you.
