I have a 57. I agree with Rick about the welding. The thicker metals are actualy easier to weld. The other gentleman's comment about first cost vs incramental costs are true, as well as the other gentleman that bought the California car. I guess I'm thinking the one thing you haven't said anything about, that is getting to be a bigger deal for me is time. If I can't do it right I don't wanna mess with it, and I can see where you are going to have about three years of every minute you can spare invested in this car. Can you spare that? If not, sell it, part it for use on another car, or just plain part it out.

In the end it's your decision, and I wish you luck.
