Sounds awesome! Get a profile up on amabam so we can all see it taking shape! Great to see new projects getting underway - must get back to some of mine that are sitting on the back burner!
Looks awesome - bit of touch up round the arches and it'll be as good as new! ;)
You can see mine up here

You got any pics of it? I've created a profile for mine with some pics up on amabam com - quite cool actually. Would you be abl;e to pull the roll cage off it easily or does it go through the body?
I would always suggest keeping it reasonably original... I've got an old '72 109 which I wish hadn't had the 6 cyl swapped out for a v8 (done before I got it)
