In my case I choose to do exactly as HW suggested. I used Alpine panels
along with reproduction ones. I went for as near to stock appearence as
practical given limited time and money. I know of lots of places where it
shows, hopefuly few will notice. If your an "originality freak" it matters
but it is far better than the crusher.
A car repaired like mine is less desirable than an undamaged original. To
me it is much better than a rebody but I had a fairly sloid car under all
those dents. If you had a bunch of good Tiger parts attached to a rusted
out POS shell why not rebody and have some fun?
If you could buy a new Tiger or Alpine III shell I'd be wanting one real bad.
