I asked the guys here at Moparts the same question about 4 months ago. I got about a 50-50 response. I decided to just do a mild restore, since I too want a "driver" not a show car. I didn't want to make this restore a 5 to 10 year project, rather I want to be driving this summer if possible. Anyway I justify my decision also by realizing that I will not be the last owner of this car, I am at least preserving it, and if the next owner wants to completely re-do it, at least I have saved it for that. Good luck!
