Default Lets restromod that!

Is it weird that i have to go to the hamb now to see cars built in the period. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...my-29.1114472/


I'm not totally ignorant to mods a few years apart. Fairly common.


Curious on thoughts...

I did that once back in 55, put a 49 F6 v8 in a perfectly good 31 coupe which I regretted then changed everything back to A in 59 and drove it from TN to FL and back.

i liked it right up until he got that moron idea about 'hydraulic brakes being better' (thankfully he stayed mechanical) and lowered it. Don't need to lower it that far, jsut a little bit, but i might be biased.
