Like I said in my profile, personally, I like stock, but I enjoy looking and appreciate at all the talent and work people put into their custom vehicles. And pure is good but I'm not rigid; when I painted my 53 it's original "coral" colour, I decided to paint the interior a 91 Cadillac metal-flake mauve. It looked good and hey, it's my truck. However, I probably wouldn't have done that if it had not already had a 1963 250 in it when I bought it. My uncle recently gave me his 1974 Ford econoline (60K original miles) which he customized back in the day. **** throughout, (including on the dash), tear drop windows. It's a hoot- but definitely a cop magnet. New Orleans finest just laid 3 tickets on me the other day, none of which are valid. But I digress. It only has 2 mags (14" 5 lug X 4.5") so looking for more. Also one of the tear drop windows fell out. Looking for one of them (21" long, not 19") if anyone knows where I can get one or get one made.
