Before I took my barely driveable '55 Bird apart I had 2 fire extinguishers in the car, one behind each side of the seat. Yes your teapot carb was replaced with an Edelbrock and I've replaced mine with a Holley from a '57 Bird, and old fuel lines were replaced. But the extinguishers will be staying behind the seat once it's on the road again.
