Nellie is actually happy that it is being restored. She would be happy if it were raced too. But, it is not every day you come across a car that is this complete and original. With the except of the body and the headers, everything is original as last ran. So updating it would almost be building a new car completely. I really don't need to race it to feel good about it either to be honest. More people in the racing world really want to see it left original than updated and raced too.
