The use of modern proven upgrades to the A to increase reliability, longevity and performance. To enable the car to compete in todays traffic in some folks eye is blasphemous..to me it’s using the car as Ford intended, economical transportation

I have no problem with that but I like keeping my cars LOOKING original as much as I can.

I don't believe in slapping a bunch of speed parts on a car and removing the fenders is what was originally intended for the Ford Barn.

But we're getting off subject here... I have a 160°F thermostst in the upper radiator hose, held at the bottom with a hose clamp.

Yep, I don’t like hack work either which is why I support my thermostat correctly

I don’t believe running a fugazi alternator and a thermostat is acceptable for fine point judging either. I think running a power gen is fraudulent..but hey, run what you brung I don’t offer my opinion of what fits on the barn because it would make me look like a jerk.
