Road trip in a 71 year old car.

All you gotta do is lube all those grease fittings regularly and it will roll forever. Simple is less complicated. I'd keep it the way it is. And enjoy the ride.

I greased everything before we left even the water pump! All wheel bearing were cleaned and re- packed so this thing rolls very easy.
