I think you will end up with a nice balance of an original looking car with modern additions. I would think more about not using radials with a MII though.

Same If it is touching the road and steering its getting a good upgrade . Original cars are great for parades , but if its 80 years old the metal is fatigued at some point be safe not cool . All that stuff is primitive to today's technology .

I dumped a running original flatty for a modern drive , TCI rear parallel leafs , MII front suspension . I will keep the interior stock looking as with the outside body .
