Thank you for the welcome and comments.

My first thought is to keep it all original, but then again I would really like to make some reliability, safety and comfort upgrades.

I am leaning towards doing the upgrades and keeping all the original parts I remove in the process. I have a big barn, so safe storage of the parts would be no problem. Later, if my grandkids want to restore it back to original, all the original parts will be there for them.

I want to drive it and enjoy it...but still not certain which direction to go on it.

Thank You
