Thank You all for your advise. I truly do appreciate it. You all have given me plenty to think over. I don't want to do very much as far as modifying goes I was just thinking upgrade to the interior and drive train.
I would like to take my family on cruises and maybe even take it coast to coast so.. I guess the real question remains as to if I totally restore it I am stuck at 45, in uncomfortable seats. if I upgrade the brakes then I might as well upgrade the engine to a new six or eight cylinder. I think once I start to "improve the ride" I may as well go ahead and "improve the interior" while I am at it.
Then again maybe I will just rebuild the engine (seems doable) and restore it completely.
I am not a man that can make these decisions headscratch
just kidding I will eventually get to figuring it out I have a bit of time until I get started (a month or so) I am still getting the 38 tow truck up and running. once I do I will run it around town as it is and then start the 53. thanks any more suggestions keep them coming I am still trying to decide.


I am just here to learn, and to meet like minded people.
