Sufferring... I think not. My arms are thankful for the power steering and its nice knowing I can get onto the freeway without the accelerator matted to the floor, riding the shoulder, with the 4-way flashers on.


Seriously though... I love 'em bone stock just as much as modified...

I think so. So far I have installed or temp installed all Ford parts or raw materials. These Ford parts are not from 1954. Aside from a few inches suspension drop, paint, wheels/tires I do not plan to make a dramatic change to the exterior. I am ok with any label from anyone.

Thanks,
Stephen

This about right?

A Lightsider believes Ford's vision got it 100% right.
A Greysider believes Ford's vision got it about 90% right.
A Darksider believes HIS vision is 100% right and he will do with it what he damn well pleases.

By that definition, I am a Lightsider. I just recognize that if I cannot afford to keep my cars and trucks 100% as they left the factory. And I really like to drive the speed limit on the highway (75 m.p.h.).
