The restoration begins.
I say make it like YOU want. like said, early A's are not really collectable rare BJ stuff, ( maybe later who knows, I don't care!).
best use of these old cars is for FUN!!!!!! whether doing a great resto, simply getting it back on the road, whatever floats ya boat!!!
I still say the guys that fool with this stuff with only $$$ signs in their eyes, truly miss out on LIFE!!!! sorta like the difference in people that wake up every day and SEE the beauty in this world, instead of seeing how many $$$ they can chase that day!!?????? just me.
keep us updated on the resto and congrats on retirement. ( are we ever really retired!??? stop dreaming and start dying!???)
