Will that be the beginning of the end of restoring old Fords?

I can answer this: it will be like it was in 1962 when I bought my '40 coupe. I searched wrecking yards for better parts . Good rubber on running boards was always hard to find along with hood latch levers, and trunk lid handles and of coarse taillight lenses. The big difference now is: there are none of these cars in yards and few yards left.
