Just build it and run it. Its new and they make parts for it.

Whats the point to buy something and not use it , what is it a trailer Quine? that like them poeple that I see at the car show. Spend all that money and time to build something off the wall and then trailer it ever where they go. What the point??

Thats my 2$ anyway.

i don't like seeing cars unload from trailers at car shows, neither. but, for the most part, i understand why they are trailored. if you spent a a ton of time detailing your car for a show, especially if it's going to be judged, your not gonna drive the car there. you'll just end up spending all kinds of time cleaning it when your there. and it's alot easier to clean the bottom of your car jacked up in the garage. also, if your traveling some distance to a show, most street rods don't have enough room in them to carry all of your stuff. not to mention, some cars are just not built for long rides. there good for toyin' around town........ hitting some cruise nights, local car shows, but that's it. my dad's 55 chevy fits in that category. :lol:

So would you honestly drive my car a long distance if it were restored? Wonder which I will have done first, my car or an RC10? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

i don't think fords can survive long distance drives. put a chevy in it and you'll be good to go. :mrgreen:

i don't know if i'd drive your car........ that's a tough one. if it were mine, i don't think i'd drive it much at all just because of what it is. i'd build (or buy) another mustang that wasn't a true shelby to go have fun with. :wink:
