The Ford Barn

V8: I talked briefly to "Early Ford Store" in Ca. They say they have a bolt in kit for my 38 that uses all bolt in parts including prebent lines etc. I explained that I was a bit elderly and inquired if I could install this myself. He assured me it was easily done, even for a mostly worn out codger like me.
I kinda like the look of the "big & little" wheels and tires I have seen. I think they are steel smoothies? Mine seems to ride pretty rough, but may just be me comparing it to our modern cars.
My wheels and hub caps are like new. Tires were new 12 years ago with now about 1000 miles. They do feel like they are out of balance tho.
I do like the current stock look "artillery wheels"? But I think I like the smoothie, bit & little look better.
Trying to decide. Decisions, decisions?????
