Sure I could put it all back original as those parts aren't that hard to find but if I am going to enjoy it then I'd like to have some fun with it. I can see the arguement for keeping it original as it's rare but I often tell people who come into my shop "Build what YOU want otherwise you will never be happy" and "If you are building it for someone else then go stock, if building it for you...do what you want"....so I am trying to take my own advice in that respect.
