Early car values are going up dramatically. The closer you can get back to stock the higher the value. Engines can be easily swapped but metal fenders and metal hood, etc will mean better resale. Hot rod it but go with metal or changes that can be easily swapped.

I am in the process of converting my narrow hot rod to stock to put it on the block and considering the expense of making everything close to perfect, I am glad I don't have body work on top of it.
