Yes my wallet will feel the pain but at least I will have close to perfect sheet metal to start with.
I have also decided to put a wood floor in it because they look really nice.
Good decision, I went the same route and bought mine from GMC Paul's but it actually came from SOKY Classics. It fit very good and like you said you start off with perfect sheet metal instead of paying a bunch of money for an original and still having to fix rust.
