I'm new to this forum and posted a question regarding replacing a rear end and putting parallel leaf spring in my STOCK 39 Standard. I too want to keep my car correct, but with a few subtle changes, like a "hopped up" 49 8rt, and F1 juice brakes up front. Now I do respect the Ford Barn and it's people and what they want to accomplish. Are my modifications too much for those purists does this make those uneasy. After all these few modifications were not out of the "norm" back in the late 40's or early 50's. If these modifications are not in line with this form then let me know and I will go somewhere else. If what I am doing is o.k. then I don't need "Mrs. Kravits" snooping around and asking why i want to do do this...you know who you are. I would just like an answer to my question......thanks I feel better.
