Ah, go for it, Scott. It may be disgusting, but it may be cool. It's
your car, do what you want. (This from the guy who goes on "bastard"
rants around people who have not completely stock MGAs, all in fun :)
And if you ever sell it (to a purist who will pay you a lot for the
priviledge of "saving" a bastardized car :), it's not irreversible.

Big Healeys came from the factory "slammed". There are a lot of the
"new" look lowriders here. A "B" with hydraulics on 12x10 inch wheels*
and all the trim gold plated might go over well. The paint job would be
perfect. Hey, Scott, if you're still here, I'm not making fun of you, do
whatever you think you'll like. And enjoy it!
