To save it in the family, is the respect to your Grandfather. Building it how he would have, and not liking it yourself, is not what he would want. You don't need to practice, just do it the best you can. Build the one with the body you like. AD or TF. You are not a butcher or disrespectful if your heart is in it. You are not ruining anything. Many old guys ruined a lot of 1932 ford coupes in their day. The Mother of all that is American Automobile sacred and a few Fathers: Vettes.
