I'm curious....I'm a hot rodder at heart, and have modified all my old Chevys. I just got this 56 Plymouth convertible, and I'm contemplating what to do with it. If I build it, it would be a driver, probably for my wife more than me. I would like it to have decent (preferably disc) brakes, and be relatively easy to work on, meaning a more modern tranny, rear axles, etc. I also wouldn't mind if it sat a little bit lower, and perhaps have some interesting wheels, and definitely radial tires. How do you'all feel about such modifications? I already know that a couple guys on the list have "non-original" stuff on their Forward Look cars. Is it kosher to discuss how to do these mods on the list? Will the purists get upset? I'm new at this list, so I just wanted to know...besides, this kind of question usually brings quiet people out of the woodwork, with some interesting answers :) How about it?
