I had everything replaced professionally over the last 18 mos and I am stunned at the amount of parts that failed new from the suppliers. We went through multiple clocks, wiper motors, carbs, vacuum switches, fuel sender, speedo still not working after 30 years and a complete trans rebuild. Had it out twice now and still no workie workie. $600 for a radio? Hasn't worked properly yet. Two months on the road and lots of issues still. Going to tackle them in the winter.
Car still looks great. Runs more or less fine. Rides like new.

That's why guys build resto mods. Modern drivetrains and modern electronics are much more dependable. Electronic fuel injection, electronic gauges, modern transmissions with internal linkage, hydraulic clutches, electronic internal fuel pumps, quarts clocks, all these items make for a more dependable and enjoyable ride. No matter how many new parts you put into a restoration it's still old technology.
