A lot of interesting comments there and all worth considering ,I think there comes a time when cars become perhaps too valuable and unique to consider risking damaging them,and over the years I feel I have fixed enough panel damage ,most of it inflicted by other peoples stupidity I might add .when my Escort sports Sedan turns a wheel again like wise it will be for demonstration purposes only.
However the idea of having something else that is not so unique appeals to me ,thats why that 1960 series sounds ok and why I am quite adamant that the mods be restricted to "period " ,I don't think you want a whole lot of people rushing off and building things with alloy adjustable shocks ,four wheel disc brakes ,carbon fibre etc,that will just kill the whole thing before it even gets a chance .I have some firm ideas on what and what not should be allowed,and no way should the flood gates be opened ,I have already heard some comments from quarters about what they are going to do ,and I think it needs to be discouraged before it even starts.I would value other folks thoughts on this
