Now that you bring it up, I remember the '55 Buick too. That one is really suprising because if memory serves it was his first car when he got out to L.A. I guess he must feel if it "looks stock" then that's ok. I personally disagree with that view....
if you want to do it, fine. Just pull a car out of the scrap yard (of which there are many!) to do it rather then ruining an original vintage car.
