Either way, it's going to be beautiful for what it is when completed.

As already mentioned in this thread, the VIN tag and partial VIN panels (firewall and cowl), along with front floors, hinge pillars, etc....are all original which would, in most people's eyes negate this being "rebody",....but also the way I look at it, a 55 year old car, if still around that may have seen time as a daily driver, weekend cruiser, part time racer, whatever, ..in that time might have been involve in a few accidents between multiple owners, needing a 3/4 nose here, and perhaps a door there,...may have had quarter skins and floors replaced due to rust and rot,.....maybe even roof work if it was a vinyl top car that rotted out.
Replacing all those crunched panels in my eyes is no worse then replacing rotted and dented panels that get replaced in many major restorations.
