As always: It's your car man, go crazy and enjoy the ride.

What he said - it's a '72, a special year of longhoods. Go all steel - that is one model that really "deserves it." The money you would save in FG will probably be wasted on labor for fitting (and time/aggravation). If you ever sell it you will more than get your money back (versus FG).
