Complete agreement xb-60. However, the OP appears to have significantly conflicted goals, each with its own set of pro and con opinions and possible build paths. The OP's build goal is still conflicted in his own head. The continually evolving path of the post pretty well indicated the confusion.

I believe he needs to decide what his build goal is before pro and/or con opinions can provide any real benefit or additional clarity to navigating a particular path. Either he is going to be very period correct or he is going to have a fun attitude adjustment car. Of course he may end up with some type of hybrid that is neither but rather a mix of both — all are valid build goals

Establishing a critical build path makes the assumption you know what you are building to. He has yet to make that determination.
