I wanted a smaller frame that wieghs less. I want more modern suspension, brakes, power steering and easily available parts. If something were to need replacing I want to run down to any auto parts house and replace it. Not wait for UPS guy to bring it! I have a completely stock 100% original 1951 Ford Custom Club Coupe that everything is ordered for. I also have a 1965 Chevy II Nova that is setup for daily/quarter mile driving. I just want something dependable, safe and fun.
