The  Anderson/ Moment Restoration book would be a must have for you.

I hope you can
bring yourself to making this a nice driver too rather than just a piece of
eye candy.  Why stress
yourself out over all the little details if you can't enjoy it at the end of

the project.

Sorry to say that there are many mods that make our cars much more enjoyable

to drive than what the
factory offered.

But if your going for a top dollar resale baby then originality is important

to a lot of auction jockies.

Hope to see it on the road some day under its own power.

Good Luck,   Mark
