Improvements On A Classic Car

I prefer the classic styling, but enjoy and feel safer with some of the more modern technology (radial tires, front disc brakes, electronic ignition, etc...).

I have a friend with a '63 Dodge 440 (383, 4-bbl, push button auto, 3.23:1 8 3/4") that refuses to update his braking system (4-wheel drums with single jug master cylinder), bias ply tires, etc... He says it was good enough in 1963, it's good enough now.
