I just picked up a 1936 model 68 Fordor sedan. Interior is all there, but rough. Has rot at the front of both rear fenders where they meet running boards and the drivers floor pan/trans cover. This car was in the original owners family its whole life. Runs and drives ok. Engine was replaced with a 51 Merc. Engine replacement makes it not 100% original. Am I ok to fix the rot and replace the interior or should this be left as is? If you agree its ok to fix, who makes a good interior kit?

I will post pictures when I can get to the car. Being stored due to space at my house. I am new to this so will be asking for any help and ideas you can assist me with!
Thanks!
