To be or not to be a 1936 club cabriolet

Okay, that's just crazy talk.

Now, back to the '36 club cabriolet... do what ya want with it. You are unlikely to get your investment returned regardless of the path you take.
A true restoration - you'll be very quickly upside down. Easy $100k +. I can't imagine a perfect club cabriolet fetching even half that.
A "high end" rod... again, you'll be way upside down.

Bottom line in my opinion? Have fun with this one. Attempt to keep your investment to a minimum.
A good rule of thumb as an example? Body and paint cost about the same if you're painting a '36 club cabriolet or a '39 convertible coupe.
Choose wisely....
