The hood is up to you. I would not plan a "big restore" until you can get some things done and see where you stand, as suggested above. Just get the brakes "up to snuff" get it driving good and running good doing what you need to do. I like those hoods, and would leave it until, maybe later, maybe if you decide to make the are "more correct"
