Not trying to Sounds like an interesting project!

What will you use for parts if something needs to be replaced from a safety standpoint? Like a 40 year old rubber brake hose?

Hello Ed! You bring up a very valid point. When we first looked the car over, everything appeared to be in excellent condition. The car has not been disassembled and we will not start that process until we have documented the vehicle with digital pictures and video. Our initial goal (as stated in my first post) was,
"Not a single reproduction part, not even (hopefully) an NOS part."

I am almost positive that we will not need to use any reproduction parts throughout this project. As we get into taking things apart (like the brake hoses for example) we will be able to evaluate those areas to a greater degree. If in fact we find that some parts cannot be used due to safety factors, they will be replaced with NOS originals. We are crossing our fingers that the "hopefully" part of the equation ends up taking precedence. Thank you for your input!!
