Hmmm-sounds like a #2 car to me. Does the car's value justify this type of restoration or could you not find a #2 car to begin with? Who are you using for parts? BTW- I have a 1969 that is blue/blue like yours and probably a #3. Even though it is not that complicated of a car (compared to the new ones or the 300SEC) it has been my most expensive car to drive on a per mile basis. Have fun with the restoration.
