As the owner of one of these magnificent cars, although only a 2172 Super and not a Custom, I am strongly in the camp which recommends restoration rather than modifying. The frame if it is not rusted is more robust than anything you would be able to find as a replacement. The original 356CID engine is more than adequate to power the car and is a masterpiece of engineering. Keep it original if at all possible. You won't be disappointed. The restoration of the interior will be your biggest challenge.
