By the numbers restore or take some liberties?

If your car is an "investment" (yeah, right) then keep her proper. I personally am in the other camp. I do at least 1 smoker every time I take her out. She is in a carport, not under a sheet in a heated garage. If I had a hemi Charger it would be different. I have a NOM, cam, intake etc. I enjoy my car, much more so than if it was a 99 point car. In the end, do you want a museum piece or a hot rod? P.S. I am thinking about a Borgeson aftermarket steering box... ssshhhhhh.
