Are you a purist?

Different strokes for different folks. Im sure back in the day some people went nutty when others began making street rods out of model A fords. But the reality is they run, and drive much better as street rods than the originals did. I have driven a 29 roadster pickup with a flat head 4 banger. And a buddies 350 motored model A sedan. I prefer power discs, power steering, A/C that the streetrod offered over the stocker.

That being said, i would not modify a mint survivor car, even with a slant in it. However my slant sux 67 barracuda notch was a castoff in the corner of a salvage yard. Slanty, 3 speed on the column, bench seat car with no options. Its not worth anything, so i am building it as i like. I am going for the late 60s SCCA Trans Am road racer on the street look.

Im keeping the old look and vibe of the car, but prob gonna run 16 or 17" steelies for the hi po rubber. Fast cars are cool, but i like to stop and turn as well.

My advice build what you like.
