Re: New "32 Ford" Parts...Where does it end?
I never really knew there was all this classification stuff, I wanted AC in my ride cause I stink when I sweat, I wanted a reliable power plant so I put in a 351w, I want to stop so I put on 4 wheel discs, my knees are shot so I put in a matic, I built a chassis about 20 years ago, it bump steered horribly, I wanted to chase vettes and the little punks in their cobras and tuners, I want to run the time trials at good guys events, so I purchased a professionally engineered chassis, a lot of guys on the HAMB fabricate these kind of products and sell them, ..well I bought one, I kept the outside of my truck very stock including rims, I like billet in certain applications, if a part is well engineered it will work better than my cobblings, I've been stranded on the side of the road cause I cobbled some thing together. I spent a good 3 plus years on the old girl and did every thing in my 2 car garage just me and once in a while the wife.
One of the hardest things to learn is to respect another mans vision, we all see the world different, and that is a good thing, we all enjoy a beer different, taste it different, and we all enjoy a car different too. You may not respect the fact that I bought an assembly for my brake set up, but you really should respect the fact the the first brake set up that I cobbled together ended up in the dumpster and I bought the billet assembly, you should appreciate my choice even more as you are sitting in front of me in your bumper less hot rod. By knowing my limits and building a safe product I'm doing us all a favor. I say it again use what makes your car safe, fabricate within your range of knowledge, if you can't find solid reliable safe original parts, buy good high quality, engineered components from a reputable source.
