Hi George
First of all welcome to the pickup world.
When I did mine I did it for fun as it was the car I'd always wanted it just so happens that it turned out rather good . I always go with do it nice or do it twice I actually did a few things twice but that was because I'm just a little bit competitive . As to your pickup if I was doing it then absolutely standard would be the road I'd go down .
Have a look on the mini pickup international .org forum proper nice bunch on there you can get more ideas but in the end it's yours and people will always say you should do this and that .😃😃😃
I did this!!!
Good luck and if you need any help give me a call.
