Is there anything better than driving an old car in its "natural habitat?" I'm starting to get my model T out and really drive it and found out...
Good point. I lean more towards its a fair trade off. If I can get the city to allow a car port that would be great too but they are strict on...

Made my final decision. I've got a 5" dropped axle sitting in the corner of my garage. Im going to use that and sell my straight axle. My spindles...
