All good brother! That’s why I just want to raise the front & not chop anything up. Everything removed will get shelved in case my kids want it back to original. That includes the 230 Flathead, the not-fully-factional gyromatic transmission & the rear end. Paint, interior, stays. Pretty much trying to do what my dad woulda did back in late, late 50s, early 60s here on the east coast. I’m the 3rd owner... see pic attached. I know... I know... “but it’s original!”, right? I’m a Hot Rod kinda guy, not a Hemings kinda guy lol. Plus I did my due diligence on production, collector outlook, etc.... keeping all original stuff that allows a return to original ... and hot rod it a bit... is kinda my happy-medium.
