Sweet,
I didnt really think to ask about the Electrical conversion.
I was told that the bulbs in a 6V system are "thicker" and would work, but that's just what I heard.
The whole '55 ford idea is starting too look more realistic.
I am moving into an apartment on Monday and once I've moved in, I'll see about driving down and picking it up. It might be a week or so though.

thanks for all the info,
my bro has a welder and we've both done a bunch of fabricating and custom work to our vehicles so far, so I dont think it'll be too much trouble getting this to work, Im mainly concerned about the brakes once I get it running.

I already have chrome Ford Racing valve cover's though, thanks
you can see my engine and my car at
